  Sep 14, 202634 min

  Libra season is here, and with it comes one of the most meaningful invitations of the year. As we step into the waxing moon and welcome the energy of Libra, this week's Cycle Sync episode explores what balance actually means, not as a fixed point we're meant to hold perfectly, but as a constant, gentle recalibration as we move through our lives. If this year has felt intense, fast-moving, or just a little too much, this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll explore: ⚖️ Why balance is not a fixed point and the beautiful walking metaphor that reframes everything ⚖️ How the waxing moon and follicular phase call for tenderness and intentionality, not hustle, and the science behind why pushing through doesn't always get us there faster ⚖️ Why building pause into your day is one of the most productive things you can do for your nervous system and your creativity ⚖️ How play, real, agenda-free play, is essential for creativity, resilience, and emotional regulation according to research ⚖️ What co-creation actually looks like in practice and how to stop trying to do it all alone And more.

  Why the Helper Never Gets Held: Healing Hyper-Independence

  Sep 11, 202626 min

  This week's Healing Her Story episode touches on something that doesn't get talked about enough on the healing journey. How much are you allowing yourself to be supported? As Riva continues through Virgo season, the season of the helper, this solo episode explores what happens when service to others becomes a way of avoiding our own needs. And why so many women, especially those in caregiving roles, have never learned how to truly receive. In this episode Riva explores hyper-independence not as a personality trait but as a trauma response, one that forms when early bids for connection were met with inconsistency or unavailability. She shares her own memory of being told to brush off her feelings as a child, and how that small moment shaped the way she related to her own needs for years. She covers why we build our worth around how much we give, the research on co-regulation and why healing in relationship shifts the nervous system in seconds, why our relationships naturally begin to change as we heal, and why women especially need reciprocal connection to thrive. This episode is for every woman who gives endlessly and quietly wonders why no one ever asks how she is doing.

  Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Three New Moon & Bleeding Rituals to Close Out Your Cycle (Including One Nobody Talks About)

  Sep 7, 202626 min

  This week's Healing Her Story episode arrives at a potent moment. Eclipse season is ending. A new cycle is beginning. And whatever the past several weeks stirred up in you is now ready to be honored and released. As Riva closes out Virgo season's ritual series , this episode offers three new moon practices to help you reset, restore, and prepare for the cycle ahead. Setting intentions — not just from the mind, but from the body and the heart. Riva shares the research on the default mode network and why the new moon is scientifically the perfect condition for deeper knowing to emerge. Smoke cleansing — and an honest conversation about cultural appropriation, why sourcing consciously matters, and how to honor the indigenous roots of this practice rather than bypassing them. Working with your menstrual blood — the one nobody talks about. Riva shares what emerging research is revealing about menstrual blood, why our conditioning to hide it runs so deep, and simple ways to begin coming into relationship with it if you feel called. This episode is an invitation to begin again. Slowly. With intention.

  Moon Phases & Feminine Power: Your Weekly Cycle Sync | Why the Waning Moon Is Your Most Underrated Phase: Three Rituals to Honor the Slow Down

  Aug 31, 202624 min

  This week's Healing Her Story episode attunes to one of Riva's favorite phases of the entire cycle. The waning moon. And one of the biggest missed opportunities we have as women. We live in a culture that rewards producing, pushing, and performing. But the female body was never designed to operate that way all the time. During the premenstrual and waning moon phase, progesterone and estrogen decline, serotonin shifts, and the nervous system's capacity for stress significantly decreases. That is not a flaw. That is female physiology. In this episode Riva shares three rituals to honor this quieter, slower, more inward time, and the research that shows why honoring it actually matters. Honoring dying flowers — why placing wilting blooms on display during the waning moon reflects something profound back to us about our own worth in the slow seasons Yoni steaming — an ancient practice Riva has been exploring for three years, how she uses it in the days before her bleed, and the unexpected emotional releases it has supported Nesting — why the desire to declutter and tend to your space during this phase is not just in your head, backed by research showing cluttered environments elevate cortisol throughout the day This episode is a reminder that the waning moon deserves to be honored. Not just the bloom.
