It's a quickie, but it's a goodie and I'm grateful you're here for it.

Birthed in the depths of the pandemic, Sophie’s insomnia and struggles with postnatal depression gifted her with the idea of creating Floks, a sustainable bedding company built using British wool.

Just as the seasons are ever evolving, we too are in a constant state of change, riding that wonderful hormonal ebb and flow wave we like to call our menstrual cycles.

Rhi (The Hormonal Yogi) is a certified Fertility Awareness Method Educator & Yoga Teacher, who believes that our menstrual cycles hold a unique code for self care.

Rhi speaks quite candidly about how menstrual cycle awareness is a mindful practice that guides you towards a more empowered way of living, that allows you to further cultivate a beautiful relationship with yourself.

This episode is not only educational and inspiring, I believe it’s crucial when it comes to breaking down the stigmas and shame associated with hormones, periods, menstrual cycles and our bodies. I believe this topic of conversation is imperative when it comes to raising the next generation of human beings… if we all understand each other a little bit better, we can all have a little bit more compassion for each other.
