Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | The Biggest Misunderstanding About Full Moon Energy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week's Healing Her Story episode tunes into the energy of the Full Moon in Aries season, and gently challenges one of the most common misconceptions in cyclical living.
The full moon is not a light switch. It doesn't just turn on and off.
It builds. It peaks. It releases gradually. And if you've been feeling the intensity this week, in yourself or in the people around you, that makes complete sense.
But this carries profound wisdom about what the full moon is actually for.
So much of the conversation around the full moon focuses on release and letting go. And while that has its place, Riva believes there is a huge missed opportunity in that framing.
The full moon is first and foremost about illumination. About what comes into the light. And one of the most overlooked invitations of this phase is not release at all, it's celebration.
In this episode, Riva explores why constantly focusing on what needs to be fixed, released, or improved can actually keep us stuck. She draws on trauma-informed practices like pendulation and titration to explain why the nervous system needs both, touching into the pain, and returning to what is already working.
Because healing is not just about what's broken. It's also about honoring what is growing.
