The Vata Sisters

We are Cait + Cass 🤍 aka The Vata Sisters! (real sisters + soul sisters). There's a constant text thread or voice memo to each other where we never stop talking about all the things we are curious and passionate about. It ranges from “where are you at in your cycle?”, our health, basic check in’s, surviving and thriving in motherhood, mindset shifts, sisterhood, spirituality, the creative spirit, and so on. It never gets old - same topics, but different filters. THIS part of being human, THIS seeking out new info that challenges us, changes us and inspires us. . . just lights. us. up. Come along as we drop a mic between us and see where this adventure ends up because we are just along for the ride ourselves. 🚙✨We hope we can inspire, give a laugh, open your heart, or hey, even take what we talk about to your inner circles or into your internet deep dives. So… come sit with us!💋

What cycle day are you on?! Menstrual Cycle Talk | Major TMI | Becoming the observer + empowered | Things we wish we knew earlier

February 15, 2023 • Cait & Cass • Episode 7

One of our FAVORITE conversation starters to each other is: "what cycle day are you on!?". This then leads down the rabbit hole of how we are feeling mentally, physically, emotionally during the different parts of our menstrual cycles. We follow up even more exchanging recent books, insta posts, experiences, etc. that we are always learning from on this topic.

This conversation today is just skimming the surface as we unwrap all the *layers* that come with being a woman and having this bodily experience. I feel like we need a white board for this chat to keep our thoughts organized and all the side notes that pop up, but nonetheless, we are here to paint the overall picture!

We hope this episode encourages you to get curious about your own cycle and bring this conversation back your inner circles! 🤍

In this episode we highlight some few key areas plus more:
- How we become so fascinated by our cycles + personal relationship with it
- Kindergarten breakdown of each phase of the cycle (hint: comparing them to the seasons)
- Cycle tracking + observing
- Major TMI moments (hint: egg whites!) *I can tell you nothing is if off the table here!
- 1st period stores
- Ovulation is actually THE STAR of the show! *light bulb moment
- Birth control experiences
- Aha moments + cultivating wisdom + compassion for ourselves
- Raising boys to understand the female cycle
- Getting your partner in the know about your cycle

PS. The hill we will die on as that NOBODY knows your body like YOU do. Take all of what we say (or others) with a grain of salt and allow yourself to become empowered by listening to your body and following your own patterns. :)
