Womb Whispers

Let’s be honest: As a woman or menstruating person in this society, it isn’t exactly easy to grow up with a lot of reverence for your body, nor your cycle. In this spiritual-feminist podcast about menstrual wisdom and activism for our modern times, I share musings, reflections and conversations to make living as a cyclical being (ALL beings are cyclical, by the way!) in a world set up for linear progress more easeful for you. Let yourself be inspired to detox from the systems of oppression you’ve most probably internalised, so you can walk the spirals of your life with more confidence and trust in yourself and your gorgeous body and reclaim the superpower and ancient wisdom already stored in your bones! And no, you don’t need to have a uterus to benefit from this!

Navigating (Peri)Menopause as a Non-Binary Person

2023-11-03

Piper Rose and I explore how perimenopause is a unique opportunity of self-inquiry for women, non-binary menstruators and menstruating men, in order to live a more authentic life and embrace their body and personal experience.

Warning: This episode is potentially activating to your nervous system, so please make sure that you are in a good space to absorb the information and have a soothing practice at hand that you can turn to, should your nervous system react! (Peri)menopause – even though often treated as a disease and the "end of your life" – is usually thought of as a "women's domain". But they're not the only ones experiencing this important transition in life. And non-binary menstruators and menstruating men don't necessarily feel comfortable in those spaces or resonate with the identity-centered experiences of "menopausal women", so they naturally experience a tension and constriction that invites them into a deeper inquiry to examine what the experience means to them. In today's episode my friend and peer Piper Rose and I focus on this Rite of Passage as an opportunity to get clear on one's values and embrace one's body and unique human experience. We dive into: - Why queer folks and non-binary menstruators may be better equipped for a more easeful perimenopause transition - The flitting mosquitoes of patriarchy that incite fear in women and menstruating folks alike - The powerful questions women, non-binary menstruators and menstruating men get to ask themselves when they come into (peri)menopause - How identity isn't fixed, but rather something that gets to shift and morph and evolve throughout one's life - The importance of personal values in making sense of one's experience - Why transformation and change are scary, but a huge opportunity for something better than your wildest dreams Resources we mentioned: Piper Rose (they/them) is a NeuroSomatic Relationship and Intimacy Coach, licenced hypnotherapist and transformative ritualist. They are dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ, Poly and Kink communities. Their mission: break cycled of reactive behaviour stemming from complex trauma, attachment wounding, and ADHD to transmute pain into a path of agency, joy and unshakable self-trust.
