  • 5 Steps To Ending Period Pain the Easy Way
    Jan 5 2024

    Get ready for something TOTALLY different on this week's podcast… 


    As you know, Gay and Mike like to go off the beaten path and get out of our comfort zones sometimes.


    Well, this week they went WAY out of their comfort zone and talked with an amazing young woman, Christine Marie Quigless, about something they never thought they'd be discussing on a podcast - women's periods!


    Not our usual topic, but hear us out… Christine has dedicated her life to helping women have a better, easier monthly cycle. She's written a book all about the science and psychology behind it called, “Ending Period Pain the Easy Way.”


    And here's the cool part - what she's discovered can teach us guys a LOT about ourselves too. The same principles of tuning into your body's wisdom apply whether you're a man or woman.


    Christine is so passionate and articulate. The story of how she met Gay and ended up speaking with him and Mike is pure conscious luck in action. She's on a mission to change women's lives, and the insights she shared have opened my eyes in all kinds of unexpected ways.


    So come with an open mind and get ready for a fun, frank conversation about something that affects half the human population. 


    Not only will you learn a ton, but you'll be thoroughly entertained. Christine has so much heart and her enthusiasm is downright infectious. Mike and Gay were cracking up through parts of the convo. (Let's just say she does NOT hold back. The girl's got no filter and they loved it.)
