Radical Body Literacy: Laura Federico & Morgan Miller on The Cycle Book
In this empowering episode of Friends with Fertility, we’re joined by two incredible women—Laura Federico and Morgan Miller—co-authors of The Cycle Book (Penguin).
Laura is a psychotherapist and AASECT-certified sex and relationship therapist. Morgan is a certified professional midwife, lactation consultant, activist, and founder of a birth center. Together, they’ve created a groundbreaking interactive guide that helps people truly understand their hormone cycles—not just through numbers, but through lived experiences of emotion, energy, and body wisdom.
The inspiration for The Cycle Book came from Laura’s own fertility journey, after years of being dismissed and misdiagnosed, and from Morgan’s hands-on work with hundreds of birthing people who struggled with the same lack of clarity and connection.
In this conversation, we explore how tracking ovulation, PMS, rage, libido, PMDD, and more can reveal patterns long before they become crises—and how body literacy is one of the most powerful tools of self-advocacy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to stop feeling dismissed and start feeling deeply connected to their body.
