FULLY WOMAN Reclaiming Femininity
You can’t separate femininity from fertility. Our cyclical nature is expressed not only through the menstrual cycle (for we are indeed feminine from birth until death, before and after we formally bleed). However, our menstrual cycle can serve as a concrete mirror to better understand how we as women ebb and flow through life. This ebb and flow is found in the cycles of (Mother) nature, from the cyclical illumination of the moon to the calm and rapids of any one river. The birth-death-rebirth of all living things serves as our great teachers when it comes to learning the art of feminine surrender.
This ebook was initially titled PCOS: The Great Journey Home: A Physical and Metaphysical Roadmap to Reclaiming Femininity, but I found it overall too limiting to the power of femininity in healing all reproductive-related challenges. PCOS is the lens through which I grappled with my own deviation from femininity, but I’ve taken a step back with the title with the full publication of this ebook to make sure it doesn’t miss the eyes of women whom it might support.
So whether you’re looking to solve fertility or reproductive issues or simply use the menstrual cycle as an anchor through which to connect with your body and honor your femininity, this ebook will take you through the physical and metaphysical nature of reclaiming your feminine essence, help you come home to the body and reclaim the natural, vibrant state that flows when we women learn to dance with our cycles.
The art of honoring your physical cycles invites you into the depth of yourself, and explore all the ways in which you step out of your flow, out of integrity with what’s really real. Coming home to the body is indeed a physical and metaphysical experience, one which we will traverse together throughout these pages. We will explore the outer physical world and your inner world, and I will provide you with a wide range of practices (cognitive and somatic) to inspire the reconnection with your authentic, feminine self.

FAQ
Is this book only for women with reproductive challenges?
No, this guide is not exclusively for women with reproductive health challenges. It can benefit all women who feel caught up in the fast-paced demands of modern society. Men can also gain insights from this book as a means of understanding and honoring women in their lives. Many of the practices (including a dive into understanding and healing from trauma) apply to both men and women equally.
Both men and women possess a masculine and feminine essence within them. By comprehending the influence of the patriarchy (wounded masculine energy) both internally and externally, we can work towards reconnecting with our true, liberated selves.
The physical practices outlined in the book can also assist women experiencing chronic fatigue, lethargy, exhaustion, insulin resistance, weight loss resistance, mood swings, cravings, and various other issues in the realm of reproductive health and beyond.
How long does the program last?
This is not a program but rather a healing roadmap with the intention of shifting your life's direction. Reproductive health challenges like PCOS, amenorrhea, or infertility are not conditions you catch; they develop based on your life's experiences and choices. To heal, you need to embark on a new journey. This is not a quick fix; instead, it's a redirection of your life's path back to your natural essence and true self.
Are there supplements involved?
No. Zero supplements. I do speak to the nature of some supplements to assist in blood sugar regulation, but overall the process is a metaphysical reclamation of the feminine, and even in the physical part of the book, I only briefly mention a couple ‘cherry on top’ supplements to support balancing blood sugar but do not advise anyone blindly take supplements.
What does the book consist of?
The book is a collection of my experiences with being diagnosed and healing from PCOS, along with the insights I gained throughout the process of realizing that PCOS is just one of many ways in which the body calls us home. It is divided into two sections: the physical and the metaphysical. The physical addresses the "what," while the metaphysical explores the "why." Together, they will help you step back and understand how modern society ushers women into our wounded masculine, leading to various diagnoses and reproductive health challenges, among others. The book provides practical tools, resources, and exercises to guide you on your journey home.
Is dismantling the patriarchy and anti-men movement?
Quite the opposite. Although the term "patriarchy" has been used by some new-age feminists to blame men for everything, the deeper truth is that patriarchal structures represent the shadow side of the masculine, an imbalanced version that negatively impacts both men and women. In reality, women also contribute to perpetuating this imbalance. By working together, men and women can learn how to live harmoniously with their feminine and masculine essences, allowing each to thrive in their unique ways.
