Embracing Women's Natural Rhythms: Clara Apollo on Motherhood and Cycles
if we don't [honor our cycles], especially as women, then we can't do the hyper productivity that we are so good at.
Ever feel like the world expects you to operate like a machine, ignoring your natural rhythms? Clara Apollo has some thoughts on that. In this episode of UK Health Radio's 'Mothers Meet', Clara dives into the often-overlooked topic of women's cycles and how they affect our lives at work and home. Joined by Sarah Lloyd and Zoë Foster, Clara discusses the importance of recognizing and honoring these cycles to achieve true balance and productivity.
The conversation explores how societal pressures push women to fit into a hyper-productive mold, often at the expense of their well-being. But it doesn't have to be this way. Clara argues that by coming together in sisterhood circles, women can heal from the 'Mother wound' and navigate perimenopausal challenges more effectively. They talk about creating supportive spaces where women can share their experiences and wisdom, whether in person or online.
Clara also touches on how employers can help by creating environments that respect women's natural cycles, leading to better overall productivity. If you've ever felt out of sync with the demands placed on you, this episode offers valuable insights into finding harmony by embracing your natural rhythms.
