99. Cycle Synching, Mental Health for Christians, and Other Taboo Topics in the Church with Blake Guichet

Cycle syncing, sex, mental health, politics – These are all topics that are not brought up enough in today's churches. And that's why on the podcast today, I’ve invited my friend Blake to have a real conversation with me about how we deal with some of these taboo subjects when it comes to things like women’s health for Christians. Blake is a small town Louisiana girl who's made a living out of saying what everyone else is really thinking. She's the host of the wildly popular podcast, Confessions of a Crappy Christian and author of a book by the same title and spends her days covering American politics and social media while homeschooling her two daughters.  And in today's episode, Blake and I have a fantastic conversation about things like cycle syncing and women's health. It’s full of hard truths, good laughs, and so much fantastic education. A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include: ⛪️ Some candid conversation about navigating mental health issues within the pews of the Church 🩸 What cycle synching is and how to increase awareness about how each phase of your menstrual cycle impacts your physical & mental health 🏋🏻‍♀️ A fun fact about how and why your ability to lift heavy isn’t the same week to week 📖 Why we’ve got to start challenging social norms and get back to what Scripture ACTUALLY says ⛵ How to begin getting more comfortable with letting go of people pleasing and not be afraid to rock the boat Resources mentioned: > Listen to mine and Blake’s conversation on the Confessions of a Crappy Christian podcast (Episode 201: Ditching Food Rules) > Get Blake’s book, Confessions of a Crappy Christian > Connect with Blake on Instagram @thegirlnamedblake  > Listen to Episode 44 on overcoming people pleasing.
