On average, we bleed 7 years of our life. 364 weeks. 2555 days. 61 320 hours.
And so many of us consider menstruation as inconvenient…
Pity, no, to live in inconvenience, remorse, resistance, and shame for such a huge part of your life.
Even more because menstruation is such a potent time - of renewal, rest, insight and intuition.
What if you changed your bleeding experience by shifting your perspective?
I started a journal for 2026, taking note of my bleeds,
How they enrich my experiences,
empower me to act on my needs, and
remind me of my inner intelligence.
🩸 In January, I was bleeding on 3300m altitude and felt the most powerful embodiment of the Feminine that I ever felt in my life.
🩸In February, I bled whilst my mum was here for wedding shopping. An intensive training in listening to my body and claiming rest in front of her - who didn’t grow up in a family where there’s space for rest
🩸In March, my bleed arrived amongst busy schedules. I welcomed it as my natural destressor - taking me out of the mundane things of daily life and allowing me to zoom out, relax my nervous system, and put things into perspective.
Start looking at your bleed as something that contributes to your experiences, instead of ruining it.
As something that brings you what you highly need.
And as an amazing antidote to our patriarchal hustle culture.
You bleed only occurs 13-10 times a year, or less - depending on your cycle length and regularity.
They are precious.
Honour them.
Take joy in them.
Let them be your compass & inner guide.
Let them be your deeply spiritual and intuitive allies.
Let them be your phase of cleanse and release.
Let them be the engine room of your power.

How will you receive your bleed next time?
