hello I’ll be speaking today about
menstrual cycle awareness and I don’t
mean when is not a good time to ride a
bike white pants I’m talking about the
power of the period it’s a growing
movement that aims to educate girls
women anyone who men straights and
actually everyone that the menstrual
cycle is so much more than just the
presence or absence of your monthly
blood it’s called a cycle for a reason
because we’re gifted actually with four
unique hormonal phases and just like the
seasons they each come in turn with
their own strengths and ways of making
us feel and once you know about them you
can use them to plan and maybe even
enjoy your whole month so let’s have a
look at this cycle now this isn’t just a
graph of how the female hormones change
throughout the month broadly speaking
you can look at this like a woman’s
spirit level and this is how it works so
I’m going to begin on day one in winter
it’s the first day that you bleed and it
lasts for about five days and right now
all of your hormones have completely
flatlined and you’re letting go
literally letting go of the possibility
of life so this is the perfect time to
rest and restore and nurture yourself
for the month ahead and if you feel like
having pizza for dinner in the bath this
is the time and ask yourself what is it
that I want to grow and give life to
next and feel it because the more you
can surrender to that slowness and
stillness that your body is craving the
more energy you actually have in store
for the rest of the month
especially in
next phase which is when you really need
it spring now this begins once you’ve
finished bleeding at about day five and
this is your power week it’s brought to
you by rising estrogen and a shot of
testosterone and everything is happening
faster for you now you are getting ready
to lay a golden egg so you have some
things to do and I find I wake up
earlier with this urge to organize and I
want to make plans and wholemeal muesli
and lists and go rock climbing and just
take over the world
and then sometimes I can feel a little
bit overwhelmed but don’t be afraid of
this power just take one step after the
other and use it you’ve got this and
then once your estrogen Peaks ovulation
occurs and so begins your summer which
is about day 14 and with rising
progesterone and a booster top-up shot
of estrogen this is when I feel like
saying yes yes everything starting new
musical projects adopting rescue dogs
letting people merge in front of me on
the freeway I have so much to give you
go no sir you go just y’all go and
that’s why actually you need to be a
little bit careful right now that you
don’t give everything away because if
you skid in to your next phase autumn on
empty that’s when you can feel a little
bit prickly right now at about day 21
your hormones are plummeting as you get
ready to let go again and if you feel
pressured to maintain the emotional
generosity that you had in your summer
then you will feel out of sync and
frustrated I know that I have less to
give at this time and that’s when I make
time to write
music and songs and I guarantee you will
feel a lot less prickly if you can make
some time to do something that you love
something that makes you feel the most
you sounds easy doesn’t it it’s paying
attention to your body and giving it
what it needs but it isn’t always easy
because we do still reward and Herald
the linear’ so to take care of yourself
in this way is actually quite a radical
act but now you know that the menstrual
cycle is made up of four phases and they
are each deserving you don’t need to
push through them with coffee and
panadol because just like the seasons
everything has its own natural time so
what are you going to do with yours
someone said to me recently that she was
asked to go to Sydney to write a
screenplay and instead of just checking
her diary to see when she was free she
made sure that she was going when she
was in spring and that’s how you go with
the flow
you’re gonna have about 500 of these
cycles so you use them if we can harness
solar power if we can harness wind power
it’s time that we harness menstrual
power it’s time we realized the greatest
life hack of them all is the menstrual
cycle and that is the power of the
period
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
coming home from a little ones quest may
be new again play the game now I long to
miss slay those dragons dead and I die
and still my shadows and pits rubies
farm rubber I will never be the same
again
[Music]
[Music]
and I lose this universe gonna rest even
if it goes and bleeding to her and a
cave you fear to enter if you seek you
find treasure I will never be the same
[Music]
I will fear me
[Music]
No
[Music]
