In this episode of Calm Your Nervous System, I chat with Renae, an occupational therapist turned business coach, about the power of understanding our menstrual cycles. We dive into how our energy shifts throughout the month, why hustle culture leads to burnout, and how self-awareness can transform the way we work and live.
Why Your Cycle Matters
Society often expects us to operate at full speed all the time, but women’s bodies follow a natural rhythm. Each phase of the menstrual cycle brings different strengths, and by working with these shifts instead of against them, we can avoid exhaustion and optimise our energy.
The Problem with Hustle Culture
Many of us have internalised the idea that rest is lazy, but Renae and I discuss how ignoring our body’s needs can lead to burnout and hormonal imbalances. Understanding your cycle isn’t just about tracking periods—it’s about recognising patterns in mood, energy, and focus so you can support yourself better.
Key Takeaways:
Women experience time differently than men—we’re not designed for constant hustle.
Rest is essential, not selfish—our bodies need recovery to function optimally.
Each phase of your cycle has unique strengths—aligning tasks with these phases can boost productivity.
Listening to your body is key—small changes in habits can lead to major improvements.
Nature holds wisdom—tracking cycles, moon phases, and nutrition can enhance the way you feel about yourself and your business.
When we start honoring our natural rhythms, everything shifts. Let’s stop fighting against our cycles and start working with them!
