Welcome to Women Don’t Rush, hosted by Communication & Leadership Mentor and Speaker Maria Rush.
This podcast is for women who are successful and intentional about the lives they’re building and it's a space where I explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out. Not by doing more, pushing harder, or chasing the next milestone but by refining self-awareness, strengthening inner leadership, and aligning ambition with calm and clarity.
Each episode offers thoughtful conversations and reflections designed for women who value depth, discernment, and sustainable success. This is for women who understand that real mastery isn’t just about performance and achievements - it’s about how success is experienced internally on a daily basis.
This is a space to slow down, enhance your awareness, and have to courage to lead yourself with greater ease and fulfilment.
This is Women don’t Rush.

Episode Summary:
In this gentle and grounding conversation, I explore holistic womb health and the natural seasons of the menstrual cycle together with holistic yoga teacher and womb healing guide Lexi Dranidi.
So many women have been taught to be in constant doing mode, viewing their monthly rhythm as something inconvenient. In this episode, we soften that narrative and return to a more compassionate understanding of the cyclical nature of womanhood - from the inward stillness of our inner winter to the expressive bloom of our inner summer - and how understanding these phases and the wisdom of the womb can deepen our self-compassion, energy awareness, creativity, rest and empowerment.

I felt truly honoured to be a guest on Women Don’t Rush with Maria Rush. This podcast is such a beautiful, grounding space for meaningful conversations that really matter. In this episode, we explored the wisdom of the menstrual cycle and the power of honouring our inner seasons — something I feel so passionate about. Maria holds the conversation with such warmth, depth, and presence, creating a space where you can genuinely slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. If you’ve ever felt caught in constant “doing mode” or disconnected from your natural rhythm, this episode is a gentle and empowering invitation to soften, listen, and return to your body’s innate wisdom. Maria’s work is so needed in the world — supporting us to lead, live, and relate from a place of authenticity and compassion. I highly recommend tuning in.
