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!

Why your body isn't the enemy, even if it shows symptoms that are uncomfortable

2023-08-04

From a young age we're taught that the body is a thing that needs to be controlled and to look for quick-fix solutions like a pill or surgery to get rid of uncomfortable symptoms. Today I share why your body isn't the enemy, and why we need to go deeper.

We have this narrative in our society that the body is a wild thing that needs to be controlled (and if you can't it's somehow your own fault). Today I share how your body is actually trying to support you and keep you alive as best as it can with the means it's given. I dive into: - why a lecture on PCOS and obesity really activated my sacred rage - a rant about the Western medical industry and how doctors fail to look at underlying root causes of dis-ease (which is a systemic problem) - why "reduce your weight" is a superficial answer to a deeper (societal) problem - our societal sugar addiction and toxic load - why your body is in fact your greatest supporter in life Ressources I mentioned: Podcast Episode "Are you taking care of your body or are you having a relationship with her?": https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e14-are-you-taking-care-of-your-body-or-are-you-having-a-relationship-with-her I didn't mention it, but charting your cycle can be a meaningful first step to start building this relationship, so go to my resource on cycle charting to learn more: https://lisa-jara.com/cyclecharting Book a Connection Call: https://lisa-jara.as.me or get in touch via email: lisa@lisa-jara.com Do you want to start your week with some soul-infused musings that support you in your personal cyclical experience in a world set up for linear progress?
