This is Womanhood: Recent Episodes

Gina Torres

Interviewing people from all walks of life around the theme womanhood. We talk about everything from sex and menstruation to yoga, mental illness, parenting, astrology and everything in-between. Nothing is off limits, because everything is weaved into the experience of womanhood.

I've been running womens circles for the past year and the idea for the podcast is to take that same energy to an online platform.

By listening to women share their stories it allows us to feel more connected to each other. To know that you are not alone in your experiences and that everything you're feeling is normal.

I hope you enjoy!

  • The powers available to us during inner summer
  • The fractals of the seasonal cycle
  • Why the inner summer version of the feminine is put on a pedestal

As a menstrual cycle awareness coach and menstruality mentor one of my biggest passions is witnessing women transform their relationship to their cycle. It's common to feel that periods are a curse but when you learn to work with them and listen to the wisdom of your body you start to realise that your cycle can be your superpower!

In this episode I discuss the inner seasons of the menstrual cycle. I cover what they are, how they show up in the female cycle and how to work with the powers of each phase. I hope this helps you to name your experience and understand a little better how to embody the potency and insight that menstruality can bring into your life.

If you have any feedback, questions or would love to dive deeper into this work then contact me at gina@trustthemovement.com or message me on instagram.

I'm a yoga teacher and mother and I am passionate about working with women.

I've been running womens circles for the past year and the idea for the podcast is to take that same energy to an online platform.

By listening to women share their stories it allows us to feel more connected to each other. To know that you are not alone in your experiences and that everything you're feeling is normal.

I've been chatting to lots of different women (and men!) sharing about everything from mental illness, depression, body issues and eating disorders to sex, yoga, nutrition, parenting and astrology.

Nothing is off limits - because everything is weaved into the experience of womanhood.

I hope you enjoy!
