Welcome to The Soft Rebellion Podcast, I am so happy that you are here.

This episode is a powerful reminder that giving up is not a solution. And I record this as much for myself as for all of you! I got to know this place too well recently when waves of doubts and worries seem to override what once felt like a burning fire committing to a deep-desired project. Yes, those waves seem to override our fire, but do they really? No, I experienced they do not, if, we have the right tools at hand to meet the situation and ask this one so important question … don’t give up and keep listening :-)

This episode is for you, if you are curious how I meet worries and doubts and transform them into joy and trust with 3 magic tools and inspirations I gathered on my path recently. This is a power talk, a reminder, with great love and a cheeky smile, an episode you can listen to over and over again when you need it, when this gunky voice is telling you a come on just give up, but your heart screams no keep going ….

Do you ever feel numb or restless in your heart? Navigating those feelings can be incredibly challenging, yet it can also lead to profound discovery if we allow our bodies to guide us. Today’s guest, Jasmine Alicia Carter, knows this journey all too well. She felt there was no space for her and no space for womanhood—until she began creating art with her own menstrual blood.

Jasmine is a true Soft Rebellion. As a Menstrual Artist and Feminine Empowerment Mentor, she has been painting with her period blood since 2016. This sacred art form has transformed her life and the lives of countless women around the world through the Menstrual Art Movement.

In this conversation we explored:

* Jasmine’s Journey: Discover the soft rebellious moments that led Jasmine to create art with her menstrual blood and how this act has impacted her life and the lives of others.

* De-shaming Female Bodies: We discuss how menstrual art challenges societal perceptions and helps heal the world by embracing the female experience.

* Healing Through Creativity: Learn how the act of making art can give voice to pain and guide us toward healing, as our menstrual blood reveals wounds that need to be seen and addressed.

* Joining the Movement: Jasmine shares practical first steps for those who want to explore this empowering practice for themselves.

This conversation is not only empowering but also a heartfelt invitation to reconnect with our bodies and reclaim our narratives. I am forever grateful to Jasmine for sharing her story with us.

Tune in for an inspiring exploration of art, healing, and feminine empowerment!

In this episode I share with you how discovering menstrual cycle awareness has helped me to not continuously burn myself out. I have always felt so passionate for my studies and work that I often pushed myself too hard as I missed the subtle signs of my body saying “stop, we need a break!”. In fact for the longer time of my life (!) I resisted any type of break: I felt guilty during my holiday, got up at 6 am on Sundays and constantly felt chasen by the fear of not having achieved enough. The result was that I would burn out, over and over again. And I felt so bloody tired of it, but didn’t know how to change this pattern. Does that sound familiar? Meeting menstrual cycle awareness in my mid-20th had a huge impact upon my life, suddenly I had a tool to read the rise and fall of energy which my body goes through every month. And responding to these shifts in energy helped me hugely to maintain the voltage in my own battery and sustain a healthy lifestyle.

This episode is for you, if you are ready to stop pushing against and ignoring your body’s messages, but lean into the breath of your own cycle, surf the waves of rise and fall and emerge into your rest and source of creativity.
