Research — Cycle Intelligence App

Before I Build This — I Need You

I'm Miriam Hartnell. I'm a systems theorist, and right now I'm building something specific: an app that helps men and partners navigate a woman's cycle — as a relational system. What's happening hormonally, what it means emotionally, and what it requires from everyone in the dynamic.

Let's be honest — for centuries or longer the Feminine was completely ignored and gaslighted. I want to build a bridge, because I deeply believe we want to love each other with ease.

Built for ENM dynamics first — because they're harder to navigate — but for traditional couples too.

Before I build it, I want your raw experience. The real thing. What you actually feel, what you actually need, what nobody ever fucking gets.

No filter. No politeness. Woman to woman.

1. What phase of your cycle wrecks your relationships the most — and what's actually happening inside you that nobody sees?

Remove the narrative that something is wrong with you. They called it that because they didn't want to be responsible for not meeting your needs in a healthy way.

2. What do you wish he knew in that moment — that you couldn't say out loud, or that came out wrong when you tried?

Remove the subconscious fear that if you say this your relationship will fall apart, or that you'll be blamed for creating problems out of thin air.

3. Has anyone ever done something that actually helped during a hard phase — even by accident? What was it?

4. Anything else. Say it here.
