Can You Still Cycle Sync in Perimenopause?
The Cycle Advantage
What happens when the thing you've been using to guide your business suddenly becomes unpredictable? Or maybe you’re like a lot of women and only now learning about cycle syncing once you’ve already entered into perimenopause. It's one of the most common questions I get from women entering perimenopause: "Can I even cycle sync anymore?" It's a fair question. Because when people talk about cycle syncing, it often sounds like all you need is a Pinterest graphic, four neat phases, and a perfectly predictable cycle. But what if that was never the point? What if cycle syncing was never about...

3 Steps to Start Cycle Syncing Without Changing Everything
The Cycle Advantage
You've heard about cycle syncing. Maybe you're a little bit intrigued. Maybe you're even become a tad bit obsessed. But every time you try to figure out where to actually begin, you end up with seventeen browser tabs open and absolutely zero idea what to do first. I see you and honestly, cycle syncing can be SOOO simple. It’s just that us high achievers want to way over complicate it all. Because the number one question I get asked, more than anything else is this: how do I actually get started? The actual, real life, what-do-I-do-on-Monday version of cycle syncing. And that's exactly...

This Triggered Me… But It Might Set So Many Women Free
The Cycle Advantage
The most dangerous lie being sold to women right now isn't coming from men. It's coming from other women. Someone slid into my comments this week and told me that what I teach, helping women use their menstrual cycles to become more effective, more aligned, and more successful is a patriarchal construct. I was just after a coaching call with a client where we dove into this very thing…people judging and criticizing when we speak up our truths. And then I got in my car and hit record because this one needed a response. For every woman who has quietly wondered if wanting wealth...

Are You Making Decisions With the Wrong People in the Room? with Kylee Ingram
The Cycle Advantage
What if your next bad business decision has nothing to do with your intelligence, your intuition, or your strategy? This episode is one of those “oh wow, I may have been accidentally making life harder” conversations. Because so often, we think strong leadership means carrying the decision alone. Being the one with the answer. Knowing the next move. Holding the whole vision in your brain like some kind of high-functioning human spreadsheet. Except… that might be the exact thing creating blind spots. In this episode, I’m joined by Kylee Ingram, co-founder of Wizer, for a...

How I Sold Out My Retreat After Almost Canceling It
The Cycle Advantage
Three months before my retreat, I had zero people signed up. Zero. As in, “Should I cancel this whole thing and pretend I never mentioned it?” zero. And if you’ve ever launched something, promoted something, or put an offer into the world and heard crickets, you know exactly what that can bring up. The scarcity spiral. The overthinking. The very dramatic mental montage of, “Maybe I should just burn it all down and become a florist.” But this retreat ended up selling out in the most beautiful way. And not only did it sell out, it became one of the most powerful, expansive, deeply...

The Belief That Will Help You Attract More Wealth
The Cycle Advantage
I want you to have an insane amount of money in your pocket. And I really do mean that. And I know that might feel like a weird thing to lead with. But the more I do this work, the more I see it… women are capping their own wealth before they ever give themselves a chance to create it. Not because they're not smart enough, not because they're not working hard enough, but because of one sneaky little habit that most of us don't even realize we're doing. This episode is that aha and I think it's going to change how you think about money, time, clients, and every area of your life...

This One Shift Will Change the Trajectory of Your Business
The Cycle Advantage
If you've ever caught yourself spiraling in that luteal phase, questioning everything you're building, wondering if you're actually cut out for this, this one's for you. I just got off a hot yoga class, dripping with sweat, sitting in my car, and I could not stop talking. Because something came up inside our Your Cycle Advantage call today that I needed to bring here and expand on. A small idea that turned into a full-on passionate rampage (my favorite kind). This isn't about fixing your limiting beliefs. It's not about doing more healing work before you're "ready." This is about...

Why I Stopped Cycle Syncing (And What I Do Instead)
The Cycle Advantage
Okay… this may seem kind of crazy coming from the cycle syncing coach but….I’ve stopped cycle syncing.. And before you spiral for a second.. no, I didn’t throw everything out the window. But I did stop using my cycle like it’s some rigid rulebook that I have to schedule everything against.. Don’t get me wrong, using your cycle to discover when you are the most aligned to get stuff done is magical (and makes a world of difference). But stopping there is where most women miss out and feel stuck when life happens or when things don’t match up with your cycle. Because your...

What's Actually Blocking Your Next Level (It's Not What You Think)
The Cycle Advantage
Recording this one from my car. After dance class, with a dead microphone and ya know, life is life-ing right now. It’s been a beautiful, wild, a little chaotic season and it’s teaching me so many things in the midst of the mess. This episode is about what happens when everything starts feeling like too much and your brain starts whispering that the solution is to burn it all down and start over. Again. (I get it. I actually asked my husband to hold me accountable to the next time my mind started going down the “should I try this instead” rabbit holes. And he so politely...
info_outlineHave you ever felt like you had to shrink yourself just to “fit” into the room?
Like the louder, bolder, more buttoned-up version of you is the only one allowed to succeed in certain spaces?
You’re not alone, and my guest today proves that the exact opposite is true.
Episode Summary
In this episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, I sit down with Emily Apollonio, founder of Interstellar Performance Labs and the architect of the STAR Program. Emily’s real breakthrough didn’t come from another credential, certification, or degree. It came from choosing to fully embody her authentic self (yes, fringe sleeves, glitter, and all).
If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt, hustling for validation, or wondering if you’re “too much” in your work or business, this conversation will light a fire under you.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
➡️ The surprising truth about female leadership in aerospace and what it’s really like for women in male-dominated industries.
➡️ Why self-awareness is more powerful than stacking credentials (and how it shapes your influence as a leader).
➡️ Emily’s journey from aircraft accident investigator to spaceflight analog missions (yes, training like astronauts on Earth!).
➡️ How embracing her cycle and feminine leadership traits helped Emily ditch burnout and lead with confidence.
Key Takeaways
✅ Authenticity is magnetic. When you show up as your true self, you actually gain credibility, not lose it.
✅ Self-awareness beats another degree. Real leadership starts with knowing yourself, not just collecting titles.
✅ Your femininity is an asset, not a liability. Traits like communication, connection, and intuition are desperately needed in high-stakes industries.
✅ Burnout isn’t required. Cycle syncing and feminine rhythms can help you thrive even in high-pressure environments.
✅ Confidence is built like muscle. Strength in one area of life ripples into every other part of who you are.
Why It Matters
If you’re tired of hustling for worthiness, working harder, chasing validation, or wondering when you’ll finally feel like enough, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to prove yourself through exhaustion.
Authentic, feminine leadership isn’t just “allowed” in male-dominated spaces… it’s the revolution we’ve been waiting for. Emily’s story proves that you can be playful and powerful, feminine and fierce, glitter-loving and grounded and still command the respect of your industry.
This Episode Is for You If…
➡️ You’re a woman in a male-dominated field (or online space) who’s tired of proving herself.
➡️ You’re craving permission to show up fully as YOU without the mask, without the hustle.
➡️ You’ve ever thought “Do I need another certification just to be taken seriously?”
➡️ You’re curious about how cycle syncing can create more ease, productivity, and confidence.
➡️ You’re ready to stop dimming your light and start leading with your full brilliance.
