Our daughter is nine. Soon she’ll be ten. Then eleven.
I was eleven when I got my first period. What story will she hear when hers’ arrives?
Will I pass down silence? Shame? Or truth?
Here’s what I know now: her period is not a curse. It’s a crown.
Her period is not gross. Not dirty. Not inconvenient.
It is nature speaking to her.
It is her body syncing with the blueprint of her brilliance.
Her cycle connects her to five superpowers. They are fierce. They are real. And they are all hers.
While I tell her about her superpowers, I also need to tell her what the world gets wrong. Because the world fears what it doesn’t understand. It will call her rhythm a flaw. It will label her power as “too much.”
So we will start with the truth…
The truth I wish I knew.
Superpower #1: Blooming
Your Power: Playful Creativity
What they might say:
“You’re so random. You’re acting like a little kid. You don’t take anything seriously.”
What’s true:
Your playfulness is your genius at work. The way you dream, create, and light up a room? That’s your true power.
During this time of your cycle, you may feel an inner playfulness rising, like a flower bursting open with color and life. Your ideas bloom like petals: wild, bright, unapologetically you.
You might feel silly. Spontaneous. Full of spark.
Lean into it. Laugh loud. Dream weird. Be brilliant.
Don’t shrink to fit in. Don’t box up your magic to make others comfortable.
Your playful power is blooming for a reason… it’s preparing you to fly.
Superpower #2: Soaring
Your Power: Magnetic Manifestation
What they might say:
“You’re too much. You’re so extra. You want too much.”
What’s true:
You’re powerful. Clear. Magnetic. You don’t wait to be picked. You choose yourself.
You’ll feel a rise inside you that believes in you, no permission needed.
Your power isn’t in the chase. It’s in the soaring, trusting that what’s meant for you will rise to meet you.
Confidence in a woman often gets called “too loud.” But the truth is, you glow different.
Speak it. Claim it.
Clap for yourself before anyone else does. Let the world catch up to your energy.
That’s not ego. It’s alignment. And you’re done apologizing for it.
You can’t soar forever though. High energy eventually needs grounding. After flying high, you will feel a pull back to center.
Superpower #3: Rooting
Your Power: Regal Discernment
What they might say:
“You’re cold. Bossy. Too blunt.”
What’s true:
You’re clear. You protect your peace. You speak with strength. You are not mean. You are grounded in your truth.
Like a growing tree, this is when you’ll reach for your roots to connect with your inner wisdom: anchored, present, unshakeable.
You’ll feel clear yeses and nos in your body. They’ll remind you that you don’t disappear to soothe. You hold your line with a calm that commands respect.
You don’t soften to be seen.
You don’t bend to belong.
You’re not shutting people out.
You’re honoring the throne within.
Because only when you’re rooted can you safely experience intense emotions. And you’re about to feel them… all of them.
Superpower #4: Howling
Your Power: Emotional Alchemy (a.k.a. P.M.S. Power)
What they might say:
“You’re too emotional. Too sensitive. Too dramatic.”
What’s true:
You feel deeply because you see deeply. Your emotions don’t make you weak. They make you real. This is one of your greatest feminine superpowers.
Think of PMS like your inner wolf waking up.
All month long, you’ve been holding things in. Keeping it together. Being polite. But as your hormones shift, the filter gets thinner. And the truth gets louder.
It’s like the veil lifts. What’s not working, what’s been bothering you, what you’ve outgrown, it all comes to the surface. Not to break you, but to free you.
Wolves don’t whisper when they’re in pain.
They don’t pretend they’re fine.
They howl.
It’s how they release.
It’s how they connect.
It’s how they claim their space.
That’s what your raw emotions are during PMS. Not drama. Not “too much.” Just truth, with the volume turned up.
And yes, you need space from people.
And yes, you need quiet moments to feel, rest, or cry.
You’re not losing it. You’re letting it all out.
You release what’s real, so it doesn’t get stuck inside.
You can only transform what you’re brave enough to feel.
That’s how pain becomes power.
And here’s the part no one tells you:
For women, real transformation doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from resting. From being. From letting it all transform through you.
Superpower #5: Metamorphing
Your Power: Sacred Pause (a.k.a. Period Power)
What they might say:
“Push through. Don’t rest. Keep going.”
What’s true:
Rest isn’t lazy. It’s how your body evolves and grows. That’s how your power builds.
Your period is your body’s way of saying, “Slow down. Take care of me now.”
Have you ever seen a caterpillar in a cocoon? From the outside, it looks like nothing is happening. But inside, everything is changing.
That’s what it’s like when you pause.
You’ve felt it all. Now you rest, not to escape, not to burn out, but to become.
Inside your quiet, chaos is reordering itself.
This is when you’ll start to notice subtle things: a dream that feels extra meaningful, a random sign that clicks, a gut feeling that guides you. You’ll hear your own wisdom more clearly when things around you are quiet.
This is the cocoon. The deep rest. The inner rebuild.
You’re not giving up. You’re transforming.
Let the world keep spinning.
You’re growing wings. 🦋
You, my love, were never meant to rise and set in a straight, predictable line like the sun.
You are a spiral. Living between the visible and invisible, like the moon… even when we can’t see her fully, she’s complete.
Each time you move through your limitless cycle—Blooming, Soaring, Rooting, Howling, Metamorphing—you return to yourself with more depth, more clarity, more power.
This is how your power grows: one full cycle at a time.
Each Bloom is brighter.
Each Soar, higher.
Each Root, deeper.
Each Howl, wiser.
Each Metamorphosis, more magical.
You don’t start over. You start higher.
Welcome to your first period. A gift passed from my mom, to me, and now to you.
You’ve stepped into the magic of being a woman… a story as old as the moon, and as powerful as you.
