The Spring + Summer of Your Menstrual Cycle (Follicular and Ovulatory phases)

What if you could work with your cycle to feel more energised, creative, and aligned with your natural rhythm?

This week on Women of the Well, we’re kicking off a mini-series on the menstrual cycle with a deep dive into the follicular and ovulatory phases – the 'Spring' and 'Summer' of your cycle.

These phases are often when you feel most energised, social, and capable. This makes them the perfect time to focus on productivity, creativity, and connection.

Dr Thea, Dr Peta, and Sam guide you through the hormonal, physical, and emotional shifts of these times, sharing practical ways to harness your natural energy and embrace a cyclical approach to life.

Please note: we apologise for the sound quality in parts of this episode, we are working on a fix and should have this sorted soon!

Listen to discover:

🌿 How rising oestrogen levels influence your mood, energy, and creativity – and why the follicular phase is often the “go-getter” time of the cycle.

🌿 How tuning into your cycle can help you work smarter, not harder, and bring more balance to your life.

🌿 The physical and emotional shifts that occur during ovulation – from peak energy to the occasional emotional overwhelm.

🌿 Why you might feel more spontaneous desire around ovulation and how this connects to your hormones and emotional state.

🌿 How to align your tasks, projects, and self-care with your natural rhythm.

🎧 Tune in now to find out how to embrace the energy and possibility of these phases.
