Understanding Your Cycle at Any Stage with Laura Federico

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Laura Federico, co-author of The Cycle Book, to talk all things menstrual health, fertility, and body literacy. Laura opens up about her personal journey with fertility, including undergoing IUI (intrauterine insemination) without the use of hormonal treatments, a method rarely discussed but incredibly insightful.

We explore:

• Why understanding your menstrual cycle is essential at every stage of life

• How cycle tracking supports natural fertility and body awareness

• What hormone-free IUI is and why it’s not often talked about

• How The Cycle Book breaks down menstrual health in an easy-to-understand way

• Why learning to listen to your body is one of the most powerful things a woman can do

Whether you're trying to conceive, reconnecting with your body, or simply curious about your cycle, Laura brings clarity and confidence to a topic too often left in the shadows.
