We recognize how sensitive and important it is to talk about sexuality and gender, especially for young people who are on a journey of self-discovery and exploring their identity. It can be a complex and sometimes lonely path, full of questions and doubts. That’s why we bring you stories that can be a gentle guide not only for the young but also for their parents, who want to understand, offer support, and create a safe space for an sopen dialogue. Through our texts, we provide thoughtful suggestions on how to talk about these topics with respect and understanding, how to accept yourself and others, and how to listen to each other with kindness and empathy.
Sometimes we think everyone is watching… judging… That our body isn’t good enough for swimsuits, sunshine, or joy. But sometimes, it’s enough just to show up, with scars, extra pounds, doubts, and simply be at peace. Because the body that carries our story deserves care and calm, even at the pool.
Sexuality is not a privilege of youth. It is not the domain of "perfect" bodies. It is a flame we were born with a gift of life, desire, vitality, passion and connection. And especially during the time when Beltine is celebrated, we are reminded that sexuality is deeply rooted in nature and in our bodies. It is a path back to ourselves. To love. To the energy that flows when we allow it to move freely.
Sometimes, our body whispers, "Slow down," but we’d rather reach for coffee or ignore the signals it’s giving us. Female cyclicality is sensitive —yet modern life, full of stress, contraception, irregular sleep, and the pressure to perform, often throws it off balance. How does our cycle influence us? And how can we support it so it once again serves as our inner compass?
Are you the same every day? Hardly. Yet, we are expected to function consistently, without fluctuations. But we are not machines—we are women. Our power lies in our cyclical nature. Every month, our energy, emotions, and needs shift. In this article, we’ll explore what it truly means to be cyclical and how embracing it can improve our lives.
How many times have you gritted your teeth and pushed through work when all you wanted was to crawl under a blanket? How often have you forced yourself to perform while your body and soul begged for rest? We are women, yet we often function like "men at full throttle." We write endless to-do lists, check off completed tasks, and feel guilty when we don’t keep up. But we were born for a different rhythm.
