179: Why Every Man Should Understand a Woman's Cycle
What if one of the biggest relationship game-changers wasn't better communication... but simply understanding a woman's cycle? In this episode, my partner Steve is back on the podcast and we're having one of the most important conversations we've ever had. We share how learning to understand my cycle has completely changed the way we navigate our relationship, communicate, resolve conflict, plan our time together, and support one another through different seasons of the month. Steve also shares what he didn't know in his previous relationship, why he's chosen to learn now, and how tracking my cycle has helped him become a more present, supportive and emotionally attuned partner. Inside this episode we chat about: • Why most men were never taught about a woman's cycle (and why that's a problem) • How understanding the four phases of the menstrual cycle can transform your relationship • The small things Steve does that make me feel deeply seen, safe and supported • Why tracking your partner's cycle isn't about "fixing" her, it's about understanding her • How this knowledge helps men stop taking things personally • Why women need to understand their own cycle before expecting a partner to • The impact hormonal contraception can have on connection, attraction and self-awareness • How we're changing the conversation for our daughters and future generations Whether you're single, dating, in a relationship or raising daughters (and/or sons), this conversation will leave you looking at women's health (and relationships) in a completely different way.
