Your Body Isn't Broken-It's Speaking a Language You Were Never Taught

What if the monthly cycle you've been taught to fear, hide, or simply endure actually holds the key to understanding yourself better than any personality test or wellness trend ever could? For decades, menstruation has been wrapped in shame and silence, treated as an inconvenience to be managed rather than a source of insight. We've been handed pads and tampons but denied the knowledge that would transform our relationship with our bodies. This gap in understanding affects half the population, yet somehow remains acceptable. The truth is, your hormones aren't sabotaging you-they're sending you messages about your energy, your needs, and your power. Learning to read these signals changes everything. Before diving into cycles and hormones, let's address something fundamental: most of us don't actually know our own anatomy. Research shows 60% of British women can't identify the vulva on a diagram. This isn't personal failing-it's educational neglect. We've been kept in the dark about our own bodies, and that darkness breeds shame and prevents us from recognizing when something's wrong. The vulva is everything external-the mons pubis, inner and outer labia, clitoris, and the openings to your vagina and urethra. The vagina is the internal tube connecting your vulva to your womb. Confusing these terms isn't trivial-it reflects how little we've been taught about ourselves. The clitoris alone contains 8,000 nerve endings, double that of a penis, and exists purely for pleasure. Yet it wasn't fully mapped until 1998. Only the tip is visible; most of this remarkable structure lies internal, and it changes size throughout your cycle-growing 20% around ovulation and shrinking before your period. Your labia vary wildly in thickness, length, shape, and color-all completely normal despite what narrow media representations suggest.
