This bonus episode is the final guided meditation from inside The Regulated Woman that teaches you how to use your cycle as a blueprint for your energy, capacity, and nervous system support.

This meditation is designed for your luteal phase... a season that can feel tender, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming… but is also deeply wise.

While this phase often gets labeled as “hard,” it’s actually an invitation: to slow down, to soften, to listen, and to meet yourself with a level of compassion that most of us were never taught to offer.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• The luteal phase as a time of emotional depth and reflection
• Releasing the pressure to be “on” or productive
• Understanding emotions as guidance
• Nervous system support through stillness and breath
• Practicing self-compassion instead of self-judgment
• Slowing down without guilt or resistance
• Using visualization to create safety and self-love
• Affirmations that support rest, trust, and emotional acceptance
• Reframing sensitivity as wisdom and direction
• Honoring your body’s rhythm instead of pushing against it

POINT OF THE EPISODE:

The luteal phase isn’t something to fix, it’s something to honor. When you stop resisting your emotions and start meeting yourself with compassion, this phase becomes a powerful space for insight, healing, and deep self-trust.
