Welcome to the Cyclical Motherhood Podcast with Hayley Anderson and Marinella Benelli, where we explore motherhood and parenthood with the menstrual cycle and wider cycles as our guides. We created Cyclical Motherhood to centre mothers, caregivers and cyclical wisdom to help midwife the new, emergent story for motherhood and parenthood that we all need. Our work together has its roots in the ongoing sharing of our mothering journeys with cycles in mind, and how much we feel this territory has to offer when it comes to supporting mothers through times of transition and uncertainty.
