#8 Facing Your Fears Isn’t Just for Halloween—Here’s How to Build Real Courage (Even When You're Scared)

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

Happy Halloween! In a Halloween themed episode, Liv explores the truth about fear — why it shows up, why we avoid it, and how courage is something you build, not something you're magically born with. This conversation is for any woman who feels stuck, scared, or waiting for the right moment to feel “ready.” Spoiler: courage doesn’t appear before you act. It appears because you act.

You’ll learn how to understand your fears, stop avoiding the things that matter, and take simple steps that build real, sustainable confidence.

✅ In This Episode You’ll Learn:

- Why fear isn’t the enemy and how avoidance keeps you stuck far more than fear itself.
- What courage actually is — and why it has nothing to do with feeling confident.
- Three simple, actionable ways to build courage today, even if you’re scared or doubting yourself.

🔍 Episode Highlights:

- Fear as a signal of growth rather than a sign to stop.
- The myth that courageous people “feel brave” before they act.
- How tiny steps compound into real, sustainable confidence.
- A powerful reminder: if your voice shakes, take the step anyway.

#7 Your Period is trying to tell you something- how to listen to your menstrual cycle & manage your period symptoms

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

In this episode, Liv dives into the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle — the part of your month where you’re bleeding — and explores what your body is trying to communicate through your period symptoms, energy levels, and emotions. Whether your menstrual cycle is regular or still a work in progress, your bleed provides powerful insight into your menstrual cycle hormones, your emotional health, and how well you're working with your natural rhythm.

This conversation helps you understand the menstrual cycle stages, what’s happening in your body during this phase, and how to stop fighting against your biology and start making your period phases work for you.

✅ In This Episode You’ll Learn:

- Why we often resent the menstrual phase of the cycle and how disconnecting from our body during this stage creates more menstrual cycle pain, exhaustion, and overwhelm.
- What your symptoms are signalling — from cramps to low mood to PMS — and how slowing down supports hormonal balance and restores your energy.
- Why understanding your menstrual cycle phases and natural hormonal shifts can help you live more aligned, calmer, and more supported each month.

🔍 Episode Highlights

- The menstrual phase as one of the most misunderstood menstrual cycle stages.
- How menstrual cycle hormones drop during your bleed and why this creates shifts in energy, mood, and physical sensations.
- Why PMS is more than “feeling moody” — and what PMS means from a body-awareness perspective.
- Why listening to your body is just as important as checking your phone notifications — especially when your cycle is giving you signs to rest.
- The emotional layer of menstruation, especially if you're tracking your fertility window, if you’re on a fertility journey
- How embracing rest and reflection during your bleed creates ease and alignment throughout the rest of your menstrual cycle phases.
