S5E6: The Truth About Ovulation & Why It Matters (Even If You're Not Trying to Conceive)

The Flow State Podcast

"What if your period isn’t the main event of your cycle—ovulation is?"

In this episode, Monica and Norah dive deep into ovulation—the often-overlooked powerhouse of your menstrual cycle. Whether you're trying to conceive, avoiding pregnancy, or just want to understand your body better, ovulation is a vital sign of health that impacts everything from mood to bone strength.

• Not just for baby-making—ovulation impacts your sleep, stress resilience, and long-term health.
• How to tell if you’re ovulating (or if your body’s waving red flags).
• Real-life fixes—from diet tweaks to stress hacks—to support your cycle.
• Monica’s personal story of overtraining, short cycles, and how she got back on track.

And many more!

Spoiler: Your period is just the encore—ovulation is the main event. 🎭

Listen now and learn how to work with your body’s natural rhythm—not against it.
