In this episode of “Sister-in-Law,” we dive into cycle mapping and what it looks like to understand your menstrual cycle beyond just “that time of the month.” We talk about the four phases of the cycle, how energy, focus, and emotions shift throughout the month, and how cycle mapping can inform everything from work and workouts to communication and self-care.

We also unpack how learning your cycle can help you plan more intentionally, advocate for yourself, and feel more in control of your body — especially in a world that expects the same output every single day.
