Your Cycle’s Got Layers.
Let’s Unpack ‘Em.
Spoiler: your period is just one part of the whole hormonal rollercoaster. There are actually four phases, each with its own mood swings, cravings, power-ups, and plot twists.
Think of it like a four-part mini-series starring your uterus, your brain, and your favorite snack. Once you know what each phase brings, you can sync up with your body instead of side-eyeing it every month.
Let’s meet the cast of this monthly drama.
The Bleed.
Your body is shedding its uterine lining, and you're probably feeling tired, crampy, or just done. Rest, nourish, and let yourself slow down—this is your body’s reset button.
Fresh Start Vibes.
Energy’s rising, skin’s clearing, and motivation might be making a comeback. Behind the scenes, your ovaries are prepping an egg and your body’s getting ready to strut its stuff.
The Glow-Up.
You’re magnetic. Social. Sharp. This is your body’s big moment—an egg is released and your fertility peaks. Estrogen is high, mood is lifted, and confidence takes center stage.
The Slow Burn.
Time to wind down. You might feel bloated, snacky, or emotional as progesterone rises. Think cozy foods, gentle movement, and lots of grace. PMS? Totally normal. Compassion? Mandatory.
