ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if your menstrual cycle wasn’t just something to manage—but a powerful guide in your personal and professional life?
In this deeply expansive episode, I’m joined by Janelle Gullen, a passionate and wildly insightful women’s health occupational therapist, to explore the role of menstrual wisdom, matrescence, and rite of passage work in OT.
We chat about:
- What women’s health OT really looks like (hint: it’s more than pelvic health!)
- Why your cycle isn’t just “a period”—and how it affects everything from energy to creativity
- How OTs can adapt their practice and self-care across the menstrual cycle
- The occupational injustices tied to endometriosis, shame, and cultural silence
- Ways to support yourself and your clients through the lens of rhythm, rest, and reconnection
If you’ve ever felt called to show up more holistically in your work—or want to understand your own rhythm better—this is a must-listen.
