Are You Tracking Your Cycle or Obsessing Over It? When Tracking Is No Longer Helpful...

Cycle tracking can be an incredible tool for understanding your hormones, improving your health, and supporting your fertility. But what happens when something that's supposed to empower you starts creating more anxiety than clarity?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the often-overlooked downside of cycle tracking and how to recognize when tracking your temperatures, monitoring ovulation, and analyzing every symptom might actually be doing more harm than good.

As someone who loves tracking my own cycle and regularly encourages my clients to do the same, I've also experienced times when stepping away from tracking was exactly what I needed.

I share why more data doesn't always mean more control, how to recognize when tracking has become obsessive, and practical ways to build a healthier relationship with your cycle without losing the benefits of understanding your body.
