You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know About Menstruation
Did you know your menstrual cycle is your roadmap to life?
Did you know it’s filled with clues about your well-being and acts as a compass to direct you on which decisions to make?
Did you know women have healed from PMS, PMDD, Endometriosis, PCOS, and more by learning and using this ancient knowledge?
Join The MENSTRUAL Circle, a women-only community that provides support and ancient wisdom for a natural approach to your cycle - and it's far from just your period. You don't have to loathe that "time of the month" if you know what to do with it! Your cycle should be helping you thrive! Come learn how!
Menstruation is one of the most magical experiences in a woman's life, and yet it has been vilified for years - and women everywhere have bought into that lie.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Years ago, men in medicine thought they knew what was best for women’s health. Just as they decided sedated childbirth was an ideal experience and removed the truth about natural birth from medical school textbooks, they did the same with menstruation.
They saw no need for women to be attuned to their bodies or understand the cycle's many purposes (it is much more than periods and pregnancy, ladies!). Instead, they reshaped the way future generations of women would see their bodies and how they operate — and they did that by medicalizing menstruation.
We often say that childbirth is the most natural and common human experience women go through, but this again slights what all women go through far more often than childbirth…menstruation! And not just your period, but the whole cycle from Day 1 through to the next bleed.
That cycle takes you through four distinct seasons, and most women miss this because they weren’t taught the language or how to observe them. Nor were they taught why it’s important to understand what causes cyclical dysfunction like painful periods, clots, and mood swings.
Guess what? Hormones are *not* the root cause. They’re your friend, and they’ve been mislabeled to condition you to loathe them.
Just as the hormonal cascade during natural childbirth should not be disrupted, nor should the hormonal cascade during your cycle. But much of what we do in our daily lives wrecks our cycle — and this goes far beyond the typical things most women think about, such as their diet, household toxin exposure, or period products.
While those things do matter, they’re the tip of the iceberg and still rooted in Western medicine-minded thinking.
I want to introduce you to the Cycle Path. Let’s start by explaining what the Cycle Path is not.
The Cycle Path is not FAM or NFP. I’m not teaching you birth control methods. That’s been done, and done well. If you need a crash course into natural pregnancy protection or family planning, I highly recommend this book.
The Cycle Path is not seed cycling or a diet plan.
The Cycle Path is not focused on helping you prevent pregnancy or achieve it, although using the Cycle Path may lead to you reaching said goals if you have them.
So if it’s not all of the things you may have already heard about…"what is it," right?
The Cycle Path is a term I’ve coined to describe the cyclical roadmap that lives within you. It’s within each of us as women, and it won’t look the same for you as it does for someone else.
Working with me, you can learn what that looks like, how to understand what your cycle is communicating to you, and how to use your cycle to truly thrive in all aspects of your life!
You might be more natural-minded, and you might even think you knew all there was to know about your cycle. I find most women who believe that merely don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know they’re missing the entire other half of the book on their cycle, because they were told what they learned was complete.
Some women go on to self-educate beyond what health class teaches them in the mainstream. They may learn about monitoring their cervical mucus and position for fertility, and this extra knowledge further conditions them to believe they know it all. But most of us are barely scratching the surface when it comes to menstrual knowledge.
If you don’t know your cycle is impacted by more than food and drink, but that empty relationships, a job you hate, the wrong work schedule, and more could be causing some cycle-related issues…
If you don’t know light, noise, and engagement with others can both help and hinder your well-being based on where you are in your cycle…
If you don’t know your response to your hormones in the luteal phase is actually a direct reflection of your mind and body’s true response to your life choices…
If you don’t know you move through four phases of who you are each cycle, and also move through four phases of who you grow into throughout your life…
If you don’t know the activities (including work) you engage in are supposed to intentionally fluctuate based on where you are in your cycle for you to achieve and maintain wellness…
Then you don’t know the whole truth about your cycle. I invite you to learn it!

Many women are conditioned from a young age to expect their periods to be traumatic - from the time of menarche all the way through menopause. They're told it will bring pain and suffering. They're told there is nothing inherently good about it, but it will enable them to have children and thus, it's a sacrifice women must make for the sake of motherhood. But menstruation serves a much larger purpose in our lives - to guide us in making the right choices so that we can be the best women, friends, entrepreneurs, employees, partners, and mothers possible. Seriously. Tell a woman that changing the hours she works in follicular and luteal could change her life, and watch it change. Tell her how to love and honor her cycle, and watch her ditch the labels she previously identified it with.
But before we proceed, who am I to talk to you about this?
Hello my dear friend,
my name is Dani Lasher
and I'd like to share more about myself and my story with you.
Today, I'm a mother of five children and counting, and I suffered from menstrual disturbances for years that were so severe - most people had never heard of someone like me.
My first period was normal, and they continued that way for many years. I never suffered from a day of "PMS" in my life...until I was catapulted into a life where I barely had any days free from it.
PMDD is what they call it, and they claim it's incurable without a hysterectomy. But here I am, free of every last symptom for years and continuing to have babies and embrace the beauty of the cycle I was once convinced to hate. Big mistake.
I explored various communities and paved the way for many other sufferers to find the like-minded sufferers they were seeking - becoming a pioneer in all things PMDD. I doubt I would have ended up where I am without that experience but I also wouldn't be where I am if I had refused to let go of what I thought I knew.
I learned the truth about menstruation - and that led me to unravel many lies that are covering it up. PMDD was just one lie I had been clinging to. Along the way, I've met many other women who have healed from PMDD, Endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, and so much more. Not only have we recovered from these ailments, but we are thriving and loving our cycles. You can too.
This has been a long time coming.
The biggest problem I've found around women and their periods is a lack of truthful information.
They've got pieces of it, but not the whole puzzle.
It's why I always emphasize to my girlfriends, 'You don’t know what you don’t know.'
The concept of The Menstrual Circle is rooted in my desire for the whole truth. I am living a beautiful life that I would not have if it hadn't been for the brazen women who came before me and dared to tell me the truth - and separate it from the lies.
The most critical part of taking this journey toward menstrual wisdom is that we have to be comfortable with having been wrong, confronting our fears, and healing. Believe it or not, not everyone is.

The Menstrual Circle isn't your standard online community. It's a space to share the most vulnerable sides of ourselves. Yes, there will be blood. You will feel challenged by the truth. It will take time to see yourself in other women because you are always changing.
Alongside a monthly newsletter, you'll get bonus access to our community of women who desire the truth - just like you.
My goal is to dish out information that you won't find searching Google.
While you might hear about such topics, the nitty gritty of The Cycle Path is far more about the spiritual and cognitive connection we have to our biology. For some women, that'll be the Source of everything or their God; for others, they may resonate with Mother Nature. I'm not here to tell you where the "Divine Feminine" comes from. I'm here to tell you it exists and how you can tap into it to start seeing more success and good health in your life.
Toss out your preconceived notions about what that term - Divine Feminine - means.
It's not "woo." It's not specific to a religion or lack thereof. It's not witchcraft or magic (okay, I might think women are kind of magical).
Menstruation is the essence of being female. It is not unclean. It is not a burden. It is not inconvenient. If you believe any of those things, I believe you've been indoctrinated.
