To understand hormonal health, its important to understand that physiology doesnt happen in a vacuum. We live in a society that defines what it means to be a woman, who has knowledge about our bodies and how we are to behave from a very young age and in all stages of our lives.

**In menstruation, society dictates how we should bleed (or not blleed).
**In motherhood, society determines how we should birth and what does it meant ot be a good mother.
**And during menopause, society makes us beleive that we have to endure our old body, as we no longer fit the standard of beauty, productivity and fertility.

We live within structures that dictate that health is a goal to reach, with very little emphasis on how our bodies are a reflection of these same structures that perpetuate inequality, powerty, discrimination, shame and sometimes, liimited access to quality health care.

When we are ashamed of our body or our vital life cycles, whether menstruating, mothering or menopausing, we are giving our power away.

it's time to reclaim our body as our power, from a place of sovereignty, love, connection, pleasure and respect, beyond society' s expectations and definitions.
