Ever had a meltdown only to realise your period was due the next day?


In this final instalment of the Menstrual Cycle Masterclass series, we dive into the luteal phase – the second half of your cycle after ovulation and before your period. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or simply want to better understand your body, this episode breaks down what’s actually going on hormonally and how to support yourself through this often overlooked phase.

What we cover in this episode:

  • What really happens after ovulation
  • Why the luteal phase is your body’s most predictable window
  • What causes PMS (hint: it’s not just hormones “going crazy”)
  • How stress, nutrition and lifestyle affect your cycle
  • What a short luteal phase means for natural fertility
  • Practical ways to support your body with food, movement, and self-care

Perfect for anyone on a fertility journey, or just wanting to feel less overwhelmed by their mood swings.

The podcast is taking a break in 2024 while I'm on maternity leave, but there are still heaps of ways you can learn about your fertility and cycle!
