Cycle awareness = creative power š¦
About 18 months ago, we received an email from the brilliant, award-winning film director, ChloƩ Zhao...
She shared how menstrual cycle awareness and our books, Wild Power and Wise Power were supporting her through her midlife quickening challenges.
We met up and had a gorgeous lunch talking about the power of menstrual cycle awareness - especially for creativity. And we were delighted when she told us that she listens to the Menstruality podcast!
We invited her to join us as a guest once her film Hamnet was out in the world.
Even in the middle of a busy run-up to the Oscars, where Hamnet was up for eight nominations (and for which Jessie Buckley won best actress!) she sat down to speak with us, both about how menstrual cycle awareness has helped her personally, and how it informed her creative process with Hamnet.
We're really looking forward to sharing the episode with you later this week.
