Synopsis

An essential, accessible resource championing period positivity

It's time to talk about periods. Women are taught not to discuss them in public; the subject is still rife with stigma and shame. In this book, Claire shares 50 life skills to help understand the internal rhythm that women move through each month(ish). It allows the reader to discover the tools they need to work with their body, rather than pushing against it, and ultimately sync social life, exercise, self-care, holidays, budgeting, projects, and sex life around each phase of the menstrual cycle to enhance well-being. Brimming with clear instructions, self-care strategies, honest stories, and current research, this empowering book at once reassures, educates, and amuses.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

We're taught not to discuss periods in public. Society doesn't celebrate the menstrual cycle. Instead we say it's 'that time of the month' when 'Aunt Flo is visiting' and we've 'got the painters in'. But the truth is that it can be bloody hard living in a body that bleeds once a month. Have you ever stuffed a tampon up your sleeve on your way to the office bathroom? Avoided eye contact with the cashier as you paid for your sanitary pads? Felt overwhelmed, exhausted and annoyed by your hormones? Well, you are not alone. It's time we started speaking up about our menstrual cycles, and now everyone's friendly neighbourhood period coach, Claire Baker, is here to start the conversation!

Taking you through her 50 best pieces of advice, Claire explains the four seasons of our menstrual cycle and how they vary hormonally to affect everything from mood, motivation and memory, to energy levels, confidence, focus and stress. You ll learn how to chart your cycle to identify your unique superpowers in each hormonal phase, the tools you need to work with your body rather than pushing against it, and that you re not crazy: it s completely natural to feel different from week-to-week.

Illustrated throughout, 50 Things You Need to Know About Periods is packed with straightforward science, cycle-syncing suggestions and relatable real life advice that encourages you to experiment with a whole new way of living and bleeding. This simple and empowering book is the perfect gift to remind someone you love - or yourself - to join the menstruation conversation, see 'the curse' as the superpower it can be and #AdoreYourCycle.
