Interpersonal skills: Why Teens Need It For A Bright Future
Interpersonal skills…… you’ve probably heard of them. Right?
When you start working or applying for jobs, you’ll find pretty quickly that you need to have them. School might’ve mentioned them too – but you might know them as something else – maybe “Soft” Skills, “Employability” Skills, or even “Transferable” Skills…? Or maybe you’ve never heard of them until now? Then let me explain….
Soul Cycles: into Your Soul Awakening
You have your inner embodied cycles, nature’s cycles around you, but what else? Wild Flow Podcast Guest Katara Sky is a guide for people journeying (willingly or not!) on the descent into their soul’s initiation, or awakening, which is when the ego dissolves and big questions about what life is all for anyway, are asked. Beyond who you think you are, what you do, and the stage of life you’re at, you may or may not have an experience that prompts you to question everything and come face to face with your deepest, truest essence: your soul.
Why You Should Track Your Menstrual Cycle And How To Do It
Did you know that on average, Australian females experience between 450-500 periods in her lifetime, with the average cycle spanning between 21-35 days, and the average bleed lasting between 2-7 days?
Once we begin menstruating (at menarche – pronounced “men-ar-kee”) which occurs anywhere these days between roughly the ages of 8-15, and commonly around ages 12-13, we begin our monthly bleed (menstrual cycle) until we reach menopause which occurs approximately at the age of 50 (although again, this can occur much earlier or later as it is do individual).
After menarche our periods will be irregular for most of our teen years until the rhythm is established and our hormones settle into their natural, beautiful cycle. You might notice that some months you bleed for longer, or more heavily than other times, or that your cycle isn’t the same length each time. This is all ok – everyone’s cycle is different.
