"When we dismiss the impact that hormones have on us, we also dismiss the capacity for superpowers. Our menstrual cycles aren't a weakness - they're showing us something important. That's your hormones. So what can we learn here from your unique position in your cycle? Because you're showing up differently today and that has meaning." - Elizabeth Tidwell
I've been diving into a truth that feels both ancient and revolutionary: our hormonal cycles aren't something to overcome – they're gateways to different kinds of power. In this conversation with womb guide Elizabeth Tidwell, we unpack the Four Seasons Framework that transforms how we understand menstrual cycles. Whether you're experiencing these hormonal shifts yourself or love someone who does, this knowledge changes everything. I was honestly floored when Elizabeth revealed how our entire work structure is built around the 24-hour male hormonal pattern while completely ignoring the 28-day female cycle. What if we stopped trying to muscle through and instead harnessed the unique strengths of each phase? This isn't just about periods – it's about reclaiming wisdom that benefits everyone.
