Healing Her Story with Riva Jean-Paul
Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Push & Pause: Finding Balance in The Waxing Moon & Your Inner Spring
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 explores one of the most misunderstood phases of the lunar and menstrual cycle: the waxing moon and inner spring.
Online, this phase gets painted as go-go-go. Maximum productivity. Intense workouts. Non-stop socializing.
But every time Riva pushed hard through her inner spring, she burned out before ovulation.
In this episode, she shares what a year of tracking and living in her own body taught her about what this phase is actually asking for. Yes there is action. Yes there is growth. And there is also something most cycle content never talks about.
Restoration.
She introduces the simple framework she now lives by: push days and pause days. Forward momentum and returning to yourself. Not forcing. Not collapsing. Just staying in rhythm.
If you have ever wondered why you feel depleted before ovulation even arrives, this episode is for you.
