Healing Her Story with Riva Jean-Paul
Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Spring Energy and the Waxing Moon: Moving Forward Without Burnout
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week’s Cycle Sync episode explores the energy of the Waxing Moon, a phase of the lunar cycle associated with momentum, growth, and new beginnings.
This particular waxing moon arrives alongside several powerful shifts:
- Spring in the Northern Hemisphere
- Mercury moving direct
- The beginning of Aries season
Together, these influences bring a noticeable surge of fresh energy and forward momentum. But with that momentum can also come pressure to move too fast, do too much, and push ourselves toward burnout.
In this episode, Riva explores the art of pacing — learning how to build momentum in a way that supports your nervous system, healing journey, and natural rhythms.
Drawing from her own lived experience with workaholism, addiction recovery, trauma-informed somatic healing, and menstrual cycle awareness, Riva shares why this phase of the cycle can feel activating — and how to work with that energy in a way that is sustainable rather than overwhelming.
Instead of rushing ahead, the Waxing Moon invites us to find our “Goldilocks pace” — not too fast, not too slow, but just right.
