LET’S TALK

Pads! Tampons! Cups! Period underwear! Instead of cringing away from talking about feminine products, let's discuss their pros and cons out in the open.

FEMININE PRODUCTS

Just like the moon, our menstrual cycle has phases that align with certain energies. Understanding the energy of your cycle can help you function better.

FOUR PHASE CYCLE

Instead of grabbing salty, sweet, or fatty foods and hunkering down; these choices can actually be more harmful than helpful during your cycle.

FEEDING THE FLOW

Reviews

  • “I love this manual, journal, letters, art, etc. I bought it as a gift for my niece! There is so much in this manual that I wished I’d been aware of at that time in my life. I highly recommend. It’s beautiful and I was so glad I found it to share with the next generation of powerful women!”

  • "I started just looking through it and admiring how beautiful it is. I found my tiny part and read it, then the tears started. I kept reading the affirmations, the other letters and tears started streaming. This is so beautiful and inspiring, I wish I would have had this in my hands as a young woman."

  • “My wife and I bought this book well ahead of our daughter’s First Moon, just to be ready. The compilation of poems, stories, and artwork is just beautiful. And for us who’ve never experienced a period, this book helps make that first conversation about menstrual cycles a lot less intimidating.”

Meet the Author

Jesica Marie is an author, speaker, and body positivity advocate. With more than 15 years of experience in education, she has dedicated much of her life to supporting and uplifting young people.

As a mother of three, grandmother of two, and mother-in-law to one, it’s no surprise that she is deeply passionate about advocating for and empowering youth, particularly young women.

When it came time, she was determined to make her daughter’s transition to womanhood a happy memory. She used the truths she learned along the way to pull together a group of authors and artists from different cultures and careers to create a place where everyone is supported in their period journey.

Jesica and
her daughter,
Bella Gianna.
