Such great prompt questions you raise at the end! And I wish I knew what I know now back when I was 21! I would have done so many things differently, may have changed my trajectory if I had such body awareness especially around my bleed! And now at 42 and menopaused a year ago, I actually miss it! Who would have thought you’d miss that time of the month, but there was definitely grief for a few months at the realisation I had menopaused early

Thank you! I so appreciate this and hold space for your experience, grief around the natural body’s cycles (life-long cycles) is all to real. Even though your connection to blood has no changed, what a gift it is to be a human in this female body.

We are truly blessed! Blessed originally comes from “bled upon” so there you go! Blood and blessings

Oh I love this Abi, Jane’s work is so vital in reclaiming our stories - especially that one of the first bleed🩸

Thank you for your kind words and support Carly! I’ve really felt such resonance sitting with Jane’s work from afar. It’s incredibly powerful in reclamation 🌹
