Many times, internalized stigma and shame accompany womanhood journeys even in the XXI century. We kind of got used to feeling uncomfortable in a men-designed world. And we shouldn’t.
Liberation from self-doubt and self-gaslight is possible, and it starts with gaining knowledge about who we are on physical and emotional levels and replacing sexist stereotypes with that knowledge. Women’s physical monthly flow, emotional flow, premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause – all of it is Womanhood, and it is always a flow, and we are always whole.
Hi, my name is Evgeniia, and for years, I viewed my mood cyclicity as a problem to fix. I failed to recognize the emotional pattern of my menstrual cycle and felt like a failure who lacked motivation or self-control. Since 2020, I have practiced emotional cycle syncing and learned about women’s cyclical mood patterns and how to manage them effectively, in a guilt and shame-free way.
Eve’s Flow Project is a blog to benefit menstruating people and everyone curious about women’s cyclical flow, whether to understand it, feel in control, or offer the right support at all times of the month.
Eve’s Flow Project resources:
- Reflections on the existing stigma surrounding female mood flow, and generational gender empathy gap
- Women’s experiences of mood patterns throughout menstrual cycle
- Learning about mechanisms of the menstrual cycle and emotional phases to anticipate moods, manage triggers, and improve relationships (coming soon)

It can be regenerative, featured by mix of grounding meditation, invigorating physical routines, conversations, or inner silence, going pharma or staying holistic and every combination in between, or sustainable,…

Where does womanhood begin?
Not in temporary societal norms and beliefs, fleeting standards, and rules on femininity, conditioned by ideas (how), time (when), and space (where). What do women of ancient times or Renescance, from Bangladesh, Brazil, or London of today have in common throughout space and time? What does connect them…

In search of womanhood. Part 2.
By the age of twenty, I lived frightened of my cyclical nature with monthly blood, pain, and mood swings. I feared being punished for acting out, speaking out, appearing weak, or the way I looked or behaved. I was afraid of being unseen, serving others, and living my…

In search of womanhood. Part 1.
As any woman born into a man’s world, I had to learn its linear ways. For representing just half of the world’s population, men’s ways surely had overtaken the world. And yes, matriarchal societies exist but represent only 0.062% of the world’s population. Not even 0.1%. Before I learned to…

Congratulations, you got your period!
I just congratulated my colleague on the beginning of her period. I am well aware of how dreading the days before the period are and how alleviating the rise of estrogen feels for the body and mind after its absolute low. As someone says – a good thing of…
