This is the month of appreciating our womanly cycle and all the things that come with that. I know how easy it is to hate-on our bodies and to hate-on having endometriosis. It is a tough condition to deal with. Today, I want to share a different view on being a woman and how we can appreciate and love where we are at.
I have interviewed Audrey from Lotus Power Health to give us some new ideas to explore around our womanly cycle and having endometriosis. She is also an endo sister!
I love the idea of working with our cycle and accepting that there are gifts within every part of that cycle. As a woman, I think we are often tempted to compete as men, in a man’s world (as they say). Why can’t we compete as women in our world?
Explore some of these ideas for yourself:
- Notice how you feel at different times of the month. Do you have more energy at the beginning, middle or end?
- Work with your cycle and notice if it shifts your levels of pain with having endometriosis.
- Explore the beauty of being a woman with some books about appreciating yourself.
What has been your experience with having endometriosis, being a woman and any connections to releasing angst around these topics? Do you feel that there is a connection?
Would love you to share any thoughts and personal experiences to help others or to explore your own connections.

I have been struggling with endometriosis for years now, but just grasping that I am dealing with it. This was very encouraging to hear. I have developed a hate relationship with my female organs and my body as I don’t know when I will have a flare up. I would like to understand more how I can accept my endo and my female cycle.
