The Inner Seasons of Pregnancy and Post-Partum
Monique Dickson is The Cyclical Mum, new mama of four little ones and also, a previous private client of mine who I held space for during her pregnancy. I am absolutely thrilled to be reunited with this delicious woman on the other side of the birth of her babe to reflect and share on our different experiences of the inner seasons of pregnancy and the post-partum period, and how applying cycle awareness to pregnancy significantly supported us.
What You’ll Learn
-
Whilst pregnant and post-partum, both Monique and I have experienced that you still have a cyclical nature despite not having a menstrual cycle.
-
How Monique experienced her inner seasons of pregnancy: how her energy, capacity, focus and self-care changed across each phase.
-
How having a breakdown during her third trimester, her inner Autumn, really called Monique to surrender, understand what she needed at that time, and to powerfully call it in for herself.
-
How Monique consciously prepared to honour her post-partum period like a deep inner winter or ‘big-bleed’ and how this helped her feel more energetic than ever after giving birth.
-
The points of transition between seasons, and how challenging they can be.
-
The parallels between the pregnancy cycle and the menstrual cycle
-
and I reflect on how I connected with my inner seasons of pregnancy as I learnt more about cycle awareness and rites of passage myself.

About Monique
Meet Monique – mum to 4 children, a beginner un-schooler, farmers wife and a menstrual cycle coach. She lives in rural New Zealand. Her youngest baby is 4 months old, and her last menstrual cycle was over a year ago – but she continues to live cyclically.

She is spreading the message that you don’t need a menstrual cycle to live cyclically.

How To Exercise For Your Cycle And Pregnancy
Who Holds The Mother? Healing The Inner Split in Matrescence. When a baby is born, everyone rushes to hold the baby. But who is holding the Mother? This is the big question which Amy Taylor-Kabbaz is advocating to be resolved. Amy’s work centres Matrescense, the becoming of a Mother, which happens slowly, almost invisibly to others, but felt deeply by the woman. This rich, deep, powerful conversation bought Amy and I together on something we feel so strongly about: that rites of passages must be honoured in modern cultures to ensure the wellbeing of all – especially the Feminine. Join us on Wild Flow Podcast with Charlotte Pointeaux to hear more about what Matrescence is and where it originated, how we experience an Inner Split as our identities, perspectives and whole self irreversibly changes in Matrescence, how our careers, roles and value changes in Motherhood, and what we can collectively do to reclaim and honour The Mother.

I guide you in an embodiment process and talk about the significance of the Equinox, called Ostara in the Celtic Wheel of the Year (southern hemisphere). Ostara is linked to big Maiden energy, and I’m sharing how she might show up for you, where, and how you can honour this point of the cycle.
