For too many years we tried our absolute hardest to ignore our menstrual cycle. Popping some Feminax when the cramps kicked in, shoving a Tampon in when we started to bleed and hoping for the best. We looked forward to the 5.5 days in the month when we felt like a ‘normal human person’ (as defined by a society that actively ignores the fact of menstruation – unless they want to sell us Feminax and Tampons) and made the best of a bad situation.

Well, that just doesn’t cut it anymore. It never did, if we’re honest. Periods are NORMAL, our menstrual cycles are NORMAL. So why on earth do we treat them like they are a burden that make us abnormal for, let’s face it, most of our adult lives?

But, how do we start to engage and make peace with a process we have tried so hard to avoid thinking about for so long. How do we even begin to understand it, let alone tune in to what our body needs at each stage (apart from a lot of chocolate, we know that one)? 

Thankfully, the formidable Abi Adams has created Prøject Wøman to help us to face this ‘taboo’ head on, once and for all. She has created this immersive, 8 week, online programme to help women with our menstrual cycles (whatever stage they are at) understand more about our bodies and how to move through our cycle (life) with confidence, patience and power.

So, if you want to feel more in tune with your body, understand and connect with all the stages of your cycle and take control of your symptoms without apology, then we can’t recommend Abi’s course highly enough.
