What I Wish Women in Their 20s, 30s & 40s Knew About Their Wombs, Menstrual Cycles, Perimenopause & Fibroids

Dear Woman,

Were you taught how powerful or how delicate your womb and menstrual cycles really are? Were you taught that your menstrual cycle is powerful and not supposed to be painful? Neither was I. It wasn't until I turned 28 years old and discovered the Goddess and Matriarchal societies, that I learned how powerful the menstrual cycle and the blood is and how when we work with our cycles and live cyclically that we can thrive mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Most of us learned about periods from rushed school lessons, shame-soaked whispers, or medical pamphlets that only scratched the surface. Did you know that the period was named the 'periodic illness' from men? It's actually a womb cleanse. This is what we call it inside the yoni steam community.

But your menstrual cycle? Perimenopause? Menopause. Mental, emotional and immune health? They are all connected. The sooner you learn this, the better for you by the time you reach middle age. 
Your hormonal shifts through your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond?
Your menstrual health is a sacred blueprint of your health, power, and vitality.

The goal of this blog, I want to share what I wish cis gendered women knew before they face painful periods, mysterious fibroids, or the unexpected waves and symptoms of perimenopause. The sooner you learn these ancestral ancient practices, implement, integrate them consistently, make it a lifestyle, the better off you will be. Take it from me. My womb story started at age 11. I am now 50. My fibroid journey and transition into perimenopause have been eye opening AND extremely powerful. I absolutely LOVE being a woman. I absolutely have loved every phase and transition into womanhood. Begrudging your womanhood will not serve you at all. Begrudging your womanhood will only make you seem immature and not powerful. 

In Your 20s: Lay the Foundations

• Your menstrual cycle isn’t just “fertility”, it’s your 5th vital sign. Irregular, painful, or heavy cycles are your body waving a flag asking for attention. Contrary to popular belief, the moon cycle is NOT supposed to be painful. As I state in the ebook, our genetics load the gun, and our environment pulls the trigger. 

• Birth control isn’t the best option. Why? Because birth control contains synthetic hormones that can feed fibroid growth and hormonal imbalance. When I was on birth control for only a few months, I experienced hormonal imbalance in the form of an overgrowth on my bottom gums. I went to see a dentist about cutting the growth off and he informed me that it came from hormonal birth control. Thankfully I learned this then and discontinued using hormonal bc. Learn how your food, movement, stress, and sleep affect your cycle now. Your future self will thank you.

• Begin a womb self-care ritual early: Castor oil packs, herbal teas, and cycle tracking are powerful tools for prevention and connection.

🌿 In Your 30s: Listen Deeply

• Fibroid growth sometimes often begins here, even though my personal fibroid journey started at age 15 with painful ovarian cysts. Bloating, heavy bleeding, fatigue, and low back pain are not "just getting older."

• This is the decade to prioritize liver health, lymphatic drainage, and emotional release to prevent fibroid flare-ups.

• Your sensuality is medicine. Dance, sensual movement, and body worship strengthen blood flow and energetic healing.

🔥 In Your 40s: Transform & Reclaim

• Perimenopause is not a disease, it’s a rite of passage. Your hormones shift, but so does your intuition and power when you pay attention, center your needs-not wants and embrace this stage of womanhood.

• Fibroids may shrink naturally with hormonal shifts, but the emotional and energetic roots must still be honored and released.

• This is the time to dive fully into body literacy, hormone balancing foods, emotional resilience practices, strategic self-care and intentional wellness practices.
