Dearest community,

How's your week? How are you handling this HEAT? (if you’re in Texas with me)

I am so excited to bring you the second phase of a woman’s cycle today! I poured my heart into this so you can have take away tools as a woman AND as a partner of a woman. (but honestly, we get to normalize everyone knowing this stuff)

I believe a better world comes from Women giving and receiving permission to honor their own cycles.

So without further ado, let’s dive into the one and only…

Follicular Phase 💐 

Oooooh baby. You can feel a follicular woman from across the room! This is the phase where your body is starting to rebuild — follicles in the ovaries are maturing, and your uterine lining begins thickening in preparation for possible conception.
It’s gifts are a time of renewal, creativity, and flirtation with life.

I relate to this phase as Spring — new life, play, fresh ideas, and flirty energy.
You’ve died… and now you rise. Energy is back. Life feels exciting again!

This phase typically falls on days 7–13, the pre-ovulatory window.

Supportive practices:
Take yourself OUT.
Say yes to new projects, go socialize, wear a sparkly dress — whatever helps you embrace this new aliveness.
Cardio, running, dancing, networking, fresh fiber-rich foods, cooler meals, a new journal — even flirting! Anything that supports the “newness”.
I affectionately call this “flirty follicular” — flirty with people, with ideas, with life.

You may not act on all these ideas, but they’re worth celebrating!!!

How to romance yourself:
Put on your favorite dress
Try that spin class you’ve been eyeing
Make yourself a bright salad with fresh cut fruit 🍓 
Cardio dance, yesss
Take a pole class or feminine energy focused class and strut
Red lips or floral anything — honor the Spring in your body 🌸 
Start a creative project (or many)
Write a love letter to your body

Great time for:
A first date. (or many)

If you have the pleasure of being around a woman in this phase…
Encourage her to say yes to life. Be playful with her. Laugh, support her ideas, and celebrate her creative energy. Take her OUTTTTT!

The mantra:
I am safe to play. I embrace my new ideas and creations. I let myself shine.

Feminine Archetype:
The Maiden — playful, radiant, inspired, full of creative zest and ready for new experiences.

This youthful, passionate, creative energy sets us up for arguably the most fun of all…..

Ovulation.

Stay tuned for next week’s post diving into the FIREY, powerful time of ovulation. 🔥 

With allllll my love,
Kam
