Episode #27: You’re Not a Textbook. You’re a Human Being. Listen to Your Feminine Cycles.

What if your symptoms weren’t problems to fix—but messages to follow?

In this deeply wise episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr. Anthea Todd is joined by Jane Hardwicke Collings—midwife, teacher, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft—for a conversation that reclaims feminine power, rites of passage, and the profound intelligence of your cyclical body.

Together, they explore what it really means to live in tune with your feminine seasons—from menarche to menopause—and how birth, creativity, and even rage are sacred invitations from your body to come home to yourself.

This isn’t just about hormones or symptoms—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise.

You’ll Hear About:

• The four seasons of a woman’s life—and how to know where you are

• What your first period teaches you about being a woman (and why it matters)

• The truth about menstrual shame, self-sacrifice, and why we “lose ourselves”

• The deeper energetic impact of hormonal contraception

• How rites of passage shape birth, burnout, and perimenopause

• Why menopause is not a medical event—but a mirror

• The power of reconnecting with nature, the moon, and your own inner knowing

• What it means to live in alignment with your cyclical wisdom

“We’re not broken—we’re cyclical. And the cycles are guiding us, whether we pay attention or not.” — Jane Hardwicke Collings
