Women, Let’s Talk Periods!: Ignite Your Inner Goddess, #2

By Marina Schroeder

BOOK 2 IN THE IGNITE YOUR INNER GODDESS SERIES

 

A guide all about menstrual cycles—from color and clots to charting like a pro.

 

***

How do you feel about your periods?

 

No, really. This isn't a trick question! 

 

And it's where we begin the second part of our Ignite Your Inner Goddess journey! Well, actually, we start off talking about things like Aunt Flo, Shark Week, Code Red, Ketchup Week, Moontime, Dragon Week, and Potato Chip.

 

"Wait, did she just say 'Potato Chip'?"

 

Yes. Yes, I did. And you'll definitely be clued in on the insider's secret as to why. ;)

 

In Women, Let's Talk Periods!, we, well, we talk all thing periods. Shocker, I know, right? 

 

"What should my period look like?"

 

"How long should my period be?"

 

"Why am I birthing jelly eggs?!" (Unfortunately, this is not entirely a joke here because this used to happen to me every cycle.)

 

"Ughhhh! I'm spotting again?! I just want to wear those white pants, damn it!"

 

"Hormones suck!" (Actually, they don't. I promise you, they really, really dont. You totally want these precious babies by your side as a part of your super-she-ro team!)

 

"Follicu-what?" (Follicular. And yup, you'll learn why this is a word every woman should know. ;) )

 

Soooo, hop on the Ignite Your Inner Goddess Express and take a journey to a magical land filled with young witches and wizards as they learn at the school of Hog—Oh wait, we don't live in the world where we get letters by owls, fly with majestic hippogriffs, and suffer through potions classes! Unfortunately. 

 

I know, this pales in comparison to that. But, hello! Your body is bleeding and she's trying to tell you something here. (PS: It's not because she's a sadist and deliberately torturing you every month just for kicks!)

 

So, women, let's get this party started and talk All. Things. Periods!

About the Author

FOREWORD BY RACHEL DUTTON

Have you ever met anyone so passionate about women’s health and periods that they will literally go out on the street with signs to raise awareness over such a vital topic? If you haven’t, I’d love to introduce you to the beautiful human being I am so lucky to call my friend, Marina.

I met Marina online in my period focussed Facebook community back in 2016, and quickly discovered her passion and referred to her a training that I had completed previously.  She not only acted on that recommendation, but took everything she learnt and flew with it.  It was a pleasure to see her transform into an inspirational coach.

Over the years, I have gotten to know her as a talented practitioner not just within the sphere women’s health, but also as a yoga practitioner, shaman, and a talented author of both super helpful non fiction and incredible romance fiction books.  Seriously, as a side note, if you like a good romance novel with a slight fantasy setting, please do check out her incredible works.

However, I digress.  I have been in the field of women’s health, periods, and fertility for 9 years now. I have read, reviewed, and been asked to provide early feedback for a number of books written by experts in the field.

This offering stands out from the crowd in that it is written in a light tone, easy to understand, and brings the topics of periods, and the amazing things that they unlock to a level that someone not versed in anatomy and physiology can understand.

I love that this book has so much potential to help people reconnect with their periods in a meaningful and accessible way, without bombarding the reader with a tonne of information.  There are also handy journal prompts to help you to reflect on the chapter you just read, and how it applies to you.

If you think there is something more to periods, but feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available information available, this is the book for you. It is the perfect gateway, leading you to a magical world of transforming your period experiences into something more positive and a deeper, richer inner connection to your body that you didn’t know existed in your deepest imagination.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

This book is a continuation of Women, Let’s Get Woo! (Ignite Your Inner Goddess, Book 1) which is the revamped and re-released second edition of the original book, Ignite Your Inner Goddess. So, this Author’s Note will be very similar throughout the series.

This book (and the entire Ignite Your Inner Goddess series) is my way of opening my heart and sharing the experience and knowledge that I have gained throughout this long, intimate, and exciting life journey. I like to envision it like us hanging out, having a cup of tea, and catching up like longtime friends.

How’s the family?

Is David still on his vintage video game kick?

Have you seen the new Marvel superhero movie yet?

That yoga class on Friday night was lit, right?

Oh, you’re on your period? Me too!

It is my intention to share all the things I’ve learned on my journey with you in a fun and easy-to-digest way without turning into Charlie Brown’s teacher. I also hope that this journey we’re on helps to ignite your Inner Goddess in a way that lights up your soul, sparks your passions in life, and empowers you to tune in to your body, hear what she’s telling you, and choose what feels right for you. I provide information and options where, if you feel called, you are able to go beyond the bindings of this book and dive deeper into your search for the answers that satiate your hunger!
