🎧 Sync Your Cycle with Taylor Swift: The Ultimate WOW Playlist
Ever wonder why you feel unstoppable one week and totally over it the next? Your menstrual cycle might hold the answers — especially if you, like so many of us, deal with shifting moods, energy dips, and creative bursts throughout the month. Instead of fighting those rhythms, you can lean in and plan your work, self-care, and even your soundtrack around your hormones.
As a bonus, we’ve curated a Taylor Swift playlist for each phase of your cycle — because what better soundtrack for your real-life eras than Taylor herself?
Here’s how to live in sync with your cycle, the WOW way.
