Half term madness, and embracing the mess...
Whilst tracking my cycle...
Soul Psychology Notes: 30th May 2025:
This week’s vibe? Half term madness, and embracing the mess…
This week is when the juggle goes to another level - the precarious balance between creating fun memories with my son Leo (he is 7), but also taking time for myself. We have been to a water slide park and an outdoor adventure park and now we are in Jersey for a few days visiting family.
In between the family time, I managed to fit in hosting an in-person circle, which really re-energised me, and my regular hypnotherapy session (literally keeps me sane!) So whilst it's been a lot… I don't feel completely depleted. However I have had to let go of things like keeping the house tidy, sticking to the usual sort of timings for the day, and my usual sort of fitness and work routine & hours.
However, it does feel good to think of myself as a bit of a Lioness type - I work in strong short bursts and then deeply rest (read my post here on that)
My Q for you:
How can you embrace the ‘messiness’ more? Does the Lioness analogy work for you as well? (Perhaps so if you are a Manifesting Generator in Human Design like me!) If not, what animal analogy works for you?
What I've been learning this week - Hormone Testing with Mira
I shared in my last update about my learnings from Hair Mineral Analysis Testing (HTMA)… the trend with physical insights continues this week as I've been using the Mira Hormone Monitor.
I've only tested for 2 cycles so far but it's been absolutely fascinating and very validating to see the actual data behind some of the mood swings and to understand how my hormones are fluctuating as I reluctantly admit that I'm in perimenopause (not surprising given I'm 42 and post-chemo…)
This cycle results indicated that it was likely an anovulatory cycle in which the hormone levels showed that it wasn't a true ovulation. I'm planning to share more on my fertility journey on my Substack. I do feel talking and sharing openly about this is key. Having awareness of how our cycles are operating and shifting means we can make informed decisions and also like I said, can really validate how you're feeling emotionally, rather than thinking you just need to ‘pull yourself together’!
My Suggestion for you:
If you aren't tracking your cycles already I suggest using a free app such as Stardust or Flo or P-tracker. Gathering that data and monitoring your cycle length and energy levels is step one. The next step after that is either getting blood tests done to check hormone levels, or investing in something like a Mira Hormone Monitor - not cheap but I really think the insights are worth it.
If you are on contraception, post-menopause, or breastfeeding, you may still notice some sense of experiencing cycles via the Moon Cycle- pay attention to the New Moon to start a cycle and Full Moon for the ‘ovulation’ day of that cycle!
How an ‘Average’ cycle looks:
Some of my data points - not quite 'average'…
And Finally… free workshop next week!
Create your own Oracle Card…
Oracle cards - I see them like a self-help book but much more intuitive and visual. They give you prompts for reflection that you probably would not have logically thought of.
Having done the Soul Psychology work on myself, I know that in my chart it's about combining my creative side with my intuitive side along with my teaching / role model side.
So I am running a course where I'll be supporting and guiding women to create their very own deck of cards based on THEIR unique energy, experiences and preferences.
