Sarah Rose Heeley joins the Keep Hope Alive podcast to reveal the transformative power of understanding your menstrual cycle. This conversation uncovers why cycle awareness isn't just about periods—it's about reclaiming an ancient wisdom that has been systematically suppressed for centuries.

"As women, we are not meant to be the same all the time," Sarah explains, challenging the linear productivity model we've all been conditioned to follow. While society functions on a rigid 24-hour cycle, women naturally operate on a 28-29 day rhythm. This fundamental mismatch creates unnecessary suffering as women judge themselves for natural fluctuations in energy, mood, and capabilities.

The discussion takes a fascinating turn as Sarah reveals how menstrual cycles were once revered as a source of wisdom and intuition. Women in their "moon time" were considered to be at the height of their spiritual connection. This perspective stands in stark contrast to modern attitudes that have medicalized and pathologized natural menstrual symptoms. As Sarah points out, PMS isn't a syndrome—it's your body signaling what needs attention in your life.

Perhaps most compelling is how cycle awareness transforms relationships. By honoring her need for rest before her period, Sarah found herself becoming more present and patient with her family. "Practicing menstrual cycle awareness makes me a better mother," she shares, highlighting how self-care directly enhances our capacity to care for others.

The conversation also explores perimenopause, offering valuable insights about symptoms beyond hot flashes—including brain fog, anxiety, and unpredictable cycles. Sarah emphasizes that in perimenopause, the primary directive is rest, challenging women to practice discernment about where they direct their shifting energy.

Whether you're currently cycling, approaching perimenopause, or beyond menopause, this episode offers profound wisdom about reconnecting with your body's natural rhythms. By understanding the seasons of your cycle and honoring your changing needs, you can move through life with greater self-acceptance, energy, and joy.
