We Accept All Other Bleeds
Yes, your menstrual bleeding is special, but it's not the only bleeding that's special.
We accept all other bleeds as valid and powerful. A baby's birth is a beautiful and awe-inspiring experience, and we honor every drop of blood that comes with it.

Your Menstrual Bleed Is a Powerful Part of Your Cycle
Your menstrual bleeding is a powerful part of your cycle. It's a time when you can tune into your body and release the idea of being broken. It's a time to rest and rejuvenate, to gather your energy for the month ahead.
When you're in tune with your cycle, you can work with it rather than against it. You can use the energy of your menstrual bleed to your advantage, and make the most of the month ahead. I'll never be tired to repeat this.
Releasing the Idea of Being Broken
Breaking through the stigma of menstrual bleeding is one of the most empowering steps you can take on your journey to self-love. This can be difficult, especially in an age when period taboos still exist.
The idea that menstrual blood is something “bad” or “dirty” can sometimes be hard to shake off, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Recognize that your bleeding is normal and necessary for your reproductive health. Your menstrual blood does not make you broken!
You don’t need to fix or change anything about your bleed cycle other than shifting the mindset about what it means. Choose instead to focus on how powerful and life-giving your cycle is - how it reminds you that you are strong, capable, and cyclically connected to nature's wisdom. It’s time to rewrite the narrative around menstruation and celebrate your unique journey of self-love and acceptance.
Tuning Into Your Cycle
Tuning into your cycle is an important part of understanding and embracing menstruation. Think of your menstrual bleeding as the magical, powerful tool it is. It can bring greater awareness to the ebb and flow of your bodily functions and give you insight into yourself on a much deeper level. Track your cycle, listen to what your body is telling you, and notice changes throughout the month.
Remember, every cycle is different; some months will be heavier or longer than others, and some lighter or shorter. This is because our hormones fluctuate throughout the month and affect many systems in our bodies including our reproductive system. Your menstrual bleed reflects this natural hormonal change so don’t be alarmed if there are any shifts from month to month. Embrace it—it’s normal!
Supporting Yourself Around Your Menstrual Bleed
You must take steps to support yourself surrounding your menstrual bleeding. This can be something as simple as blocking off some time where you can rest and listen to your body, or taking the day off work if needed.
Remember, your monthly bleed is not a sign of weakness or brokenness—it's a powerful part of the cycle that you live in. When it's time for your menstruation, it’s important to find ways to release any feelings of frustration and guilt for needing time away from regular life activities.
Take some time for yourself and tap into what is going on in your body. Meditate, journal, take a warm bath, do some yoga poses—find an activity that helps you relax and check in with yourself. Releasing yourself from judgment around your menstrual bleeding will allow you to reconnect with the power it holds. Contact me if you need more support!
Conclusion
You are not broken. You are not dirty. You are not lesser than others because you bleed. You are not cursed. You are not a vessel for bad luck.
Bleeding is a natural and necessary process that happens to all human bodies and thanks to your bleeding, you can put on earth a baby. It is something to be honored and respected. When we tune into our cycles and use the bleed as an opportunity for introspection and release, we can empower ourselves in ways we never thought possible.
