CYCLICAL LIBRARY
The following is a non-exhaustive list of cyclical resources for your information only.
These are resources I have gathered throughout my studies, work as a menstrual cycle coach and on my own path of self-exploration of my cyclical experience.
I honour you as your whole cyclical self and trust that you know yourself best; take what you need and leave the rest.
Links have been included where possible. I have no direct affiliation with any of the below authors and content creators.
Happy perusing!

Host Charlotte Pointeaux, International Award-Winning Wild Feminine Cycle Coach, shows her clients and listeners how to do the opposite. Featuring potent solo transmissions and deep, soulful conversations with sacred leaders, change-makers, and embodied teachers, the Wild Flow podcast guides women to unlock the power of their wild womb and cyclical essence to find flourish and flow.

“Want to know how to close the orgasm gap? Riding your hormonal rollercoaster blindfolded? Feel like kicking your mental load to the kerb? You're not the only one. Ladies, We Need to Talk dives headfirst into the tricky topics we often avoid talking about, like our alcohol consumption, the struggles of monogamy and the wonders of our vaginas. With sensitivity, personal stories, and serious smarts, this show is for women who feel the squeeze between work, their private life, and their pelvic floor. Join host Yumi Stynes as she tears open the sealed section on life.”
The Menstruality Podcast, Red School Podcast, hosted by Sophie Jane Hardy - click here
“At Red School, we’ve devoted over 10,000 hours to develop a radical new approach to health, creativity, leadership and spiritual life. And the best bit? It’s rooted in the bloody, wild, radical power of the menstrual cycle. For this podcast, we’ve sought out the ground-breaking pioneers and creatives who are changing the conversation about the menstrual cycle and menopause, and modelling a new way that is cyclical, relational and organic. We’ll also be joined often by Red School’s founders, and the authors of Wild Power, Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer. Together we’ll explore how you can unashamedly claim the power of the menstrual cycle to activate your unique form of leadership, for yourself, your community, and the world.”
