🎉 Here's to another amazing graduate of the Menstrual Coach Academy 🎉

We are so proud of Pleun Andriessen, @pleunandriessen, and the ways she is incorporating this work into her role as a facilitator & speaker on hormonal health in the workplace.

Pleun weaves together the menstrual cycle and nervous system lenses along with her experience as a learning designer to create impactful and playful conversations about menstrual health and hormones in the workplace She helps organisations create supportive and inclusive environments.

Pleun originally joined the Menstrual Coach Academy to find support to her own cycle experience. Now she has woven the menstrual cycle lens into her work to collaborate with over 10 organisations, working with more than 250 people across four countries!

She says:
"Before the Menstrual Coach Academy, I didn't believe that there was anything out there that could improve my menstrual cycle experience! And now getting to engage with so much knowledge and lived experience from participants has been both impactful and an absolute honour to facilitate."

We love seeing the ways she integrates menstrual cycle awareness with her work towards greater social impact for professional women and organisations.

Huge congratulations Pleun! Follow her over at @pleunandriessen

I did a thing. And it’s growing.

Menstrual health at work is still a taboo—but it affects millions of people every day. That needs to change.

Last year, when I turned 30, I asked my friends and family to help spread the word about my work. And now? My vision on the impact of hormones at work is all over Europe. 🌍

I host sessions that turn this ‘awkward’ topic into something approachable, engaging (dare I say fun 😉), and action-oriented.

I talk about:
🌀 How hormones impact your focus & energy
💡 How workplaces can better support employees with cycles
⚡ How to turn awareness into real change

So… what do you wish your boss knew about periods & hormones at work? Drop it in the link in bio! Maybe I can help start the conversation.

What I do:
✨ Help workplaces create a cycle-friendly culture
🤝 Coach people online toward actionable solutions
☀️ Host retreats in Spain → @balansenambitie

💜 Loved hosting another workshop together with @theyogaroom.vlc on Sunday

We focused on how you can use yoga as a way to support your PMS, and took a closer look at what PMS is - AND our relationship towards it.

Grateful to read back some of the perspectives of the participants:

"If you love to take part on an event you can connect ro your body in a compassionate area, please come! It's really appreciating and a wonderful treatment for yourself!"

And as always, inspired by the shared knowledge, the ability to reflect deeply on our cycle experience, and come up with practical solutions to start improving our PMS today 🩸

✨ Another day, another beautiful location talking about periods and menopause at work ✨

Grateful to @pinoevents for organizing everything and taking such good care of me 🙌

This time, I hosted sessions for the Directorate-General for the Environment and International Affairs (part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management).

What did we dive into?

➡️ How hormones shape our work experience
➡️ Gaps in knowledge and policy that hold us back
➡️ Practical ways to support colleagues with cycles

These conversations aren’t just about periods or menopause—they’re about reimagining workplaces to be inclusive, supportive, and structured for everyone.

Breaking taboos, reshaping systems, and building workspaces where we can all thrive.

💜 Loved the openness and engagement of the groups!

Life lately 🎢

It’s been a mix of disasters and opportunities, all at once—like the world isn’t already demanding everything we’ve got just to keep up 🙃

Thinking of rereading Hannah Arendt’s Banality of Evil, yet also feeling more loved and supported by the people around me than ever 💜

Things that work for me: dancing, continue doing nice things and collect as many hugs as possible! taken in Around The World by @pleunandriessen
