Hormone Cycle Tracker
Our hormones shift in predictable ways, and understanding our cycle can help us deepen our connections with the people we care about the most. This printable from Shara can help you understand and track your own cycle.
I loved every minute of this episode! I’ve always thought of tracking my cycle as another “to-do” that I don’t have capacity for. Rather than adding to my mental load, Shara makes this practice accessible, by sharing practical strategies and application. Understanding the four phases has helped me recognize my OWN need to establish some boundaries to support my relationships as my hormones rise and fall. Doing this will help me move through the month with more grace for myself and my children. It’s so validating to know that my shifts in energy and capacity, aren’t failures, they are part of my biology as a woman!
Yes, yes, yes! 100% yes!
