Why Calming Your Mind Can Lead to Happier Hormones

Hi lovely,

You know that feeling when your brain just won’t stop—even when you finally sit down to relax?

Yep. Been there.

When I first started building KIKI & GREEN, I was juggling so much - work, kids, life. It wasn’t just my mind that was overwhelmed, it was my whole nervous system. I didn’t realise how much it was messing with my body, especially my cycle.

And if you’ve been feeling more drained than usual, having heavier periods, or struggling with PMS - there’s a good chance stress is playing a role.

Let’s dive into why that happens and how I personally calm things down.

The Link Between Stress & Your Period

When we’re stressed, our bodies release cortisol - and too much of it for too long can knock everything off balance.

In fact, high cortisol levels can:

• Delay or disrupt ovulation.

• Worsen cramps and PMS symptoms.

• Make your flow heavier or irregular.

• Leave you emotionally depleted.

And the frustrating part? Women are rarely told this. We’re expected to just “get on with it” - which is exactly why I created KIKI & GREEN in the first place.

How I Support My Hormones When Life Gets Too Much

I’ve had to create little rituals to slow down - because if I don’t, my body lets me know. Loudly.

Here’s what helps me:

1. Journaling & a Mental Brain Dump

This is the first thing I do when I feel like I’ve got a million tabs open in my head. I sit down, light a candle, and pour it all out - thoughts, to-dos, emotions. It instantly clears mental clutter and brings me back to the present.

2. A calming bath with mineral-rich soak

Honestly, I’m obsessed with this. A warm bath with our Goddess Rituals Himalayan salts melts away tension and helps my body relax - especially before bed. The natural minerals help soothe your body, ease bloating, and calm the mind. Plus, the scent? Utter bliss.

3. Screen-free wind down time

I switch off all screens at least an hour before bed. It’s not always easy - but my sleep and energy the next day are 100x better when I do. I usually sip a herbal tea, read something gentle, or do deep breathing for a few minutes.

4. Massage time with our candle (yes, really!)

Our Goddess Rituals Treatment Candle is magic. I light it for the scent during my bath or journal time, then use the melted oils for a warm, nourishing self-massage. It hydrates my skin and helps me release any tension I’ve been holding in my body.

5. Get some fresh air

Even a 10-minute walk helps me reset. It clears my head, calms my nervous system, and brings me back to myself.

Why I Created the Goddess Rituals Range

These rituals weren’t just nice ideas - they were essential to me.
I needed something that wasn’t packed with toxins, felt nurturing, and helped me reclaim calm in the chaos.

That’s exactly why I created the Goddess Rituals Range.

💜 The Bath Salts are infused with essential oils: geranium, sweet orange, lavender & ylang ylang—to support both physical relief and emotional calm.
💜 The Candle doubles as a divine-smelling massage oil that truly nourishes your skin and your senses.

Final Thought: This Is About More Than Periods

Caring for our hormones isn’t about perfection - it’s about paying attention.
Creating moments to reset your nervous system is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. And trust me, your cycle will thank you.

You don’t need a fancy spa or an expensive wellness routine.
You just need a few beautiful, intentional rituals.
