Spiraling Higher Ep 21: Leslie Draffin: Breaking Taboos Around Periods + Ushering In A New Era of Cyclical Living
Leslie Draffin is a menstrual cycle coach, feminine embodiment mentor and podcast host who is passionate about eradicating shame & fear around women's bodies, cycles and sex. She believes in empowering women to come home to their bodies while embracing their divine, cyclical natures.
This conversation explores why we are so disconnected from our cycles and how deeply conditioned we are to judge, shame, and repress our power and connection to the moon. If you are someone who deals with mood swings or any aggressive cycle symptoms, you'll feel so seen and heard in this conversation where Leslie shares how deeply out of tune she was with her own body and how after quitting hormonal birth control & being diagnosed with PCOS, she was empowered to learn more about her cyclical nature.
Both hosts also vulnerably share their hormonal health journey in hopes that you will feel less alone no matter where you are on your own journey. Nothing is wrong with YOU; it is our present society and cultural programming leading you to believe that you are "wrong" for having a very normal cyclical experience.
By the end of this conversation, you'll better understand:
-The difference between Circadian Rhythm vs. Infradian Rhythm and why it matters
-How our cycle works in phases (you are a dynamic being!)
-Gender bias in medical studies and how that impacts women
-How we lost the connection to our cycle through patricharcal programming
-"Post Pill Syndrome"
-How our conditioned beliefs contribute to the disconnection & confusion around periods
-The history of how the worship of Goddesses was suppressed
-How we can begin to educate and heal ourselves to eventually educate our community and shift the paradigm (starting with our sons & daughters!)
