Can You Still Cycle Sync in Perimenopause? show art 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...

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...

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...

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 show art 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...

You don’t have a time problem. You have a focus problem. And I say that with so much love… because I’ve been there too.

Especially when you’re juggling life, work, kids… and building your business in the in-between moments. This episode is your reset. Because if you only did two things consistently in your business… everything would change. Episode Summary In this episode, we’re breaking down the two core business...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re hustling to be the perfect mom, perfect partner, perfect boss… and secretly wondering if it’s slowly killing you.

No wonder we’re exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering if this is really what life is supposed to feel like.

In this episode, I sat down with Brooke Jean, therapist and founder of Unperfected®, to unpack the perfection pressure on modern women and how it’s fueling burnout, anxiety, autoimmune disorders, and disconnection from our own desires. Brooke’s mission is clear: it’s time to unsubscribe from “perfect” and reclaim the joy, truth, and power you’ve always had inside.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔ Why “modern women expectations” are breaking our nervous systems
✔ The sneaky ways perfectionism shows up as protection (and how to heal it)
✔ Feminine leadership vs hustle culture and how to know which one you’re operating from
✔ The dance between masculine + feminine energy in business, motherhood, and relationships
✔ How to reclaim your energy and channel it into what actually matters

Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Perfectionism isn’t who you are, it’s a survival strategy. 

2️⃣ Your body holds the truth of what you desire.
3️⃣ Feminine leadership isn’t about being “soft.” It’s about desire, power, and creation with masculine structure to support it.
4️⃣ Burnout isn’t inevitable. When you unsubscribe from the pressure, you make space for wealth, pleasure, and sustainable success.

Why It Matters

If you keep hustling to meet impossible standards, you’ll stay stuck in survival: burned out, resentful, and secretly Googling “is it normal to fantasize about getting the flu just to rest?”

But when you start leading from your truth (not someone else’s rules), you reclaim your energy, soften into your feminine, and finally create success without self-sacrifice. This is how you scale your business, enjoy your family, and build a legacy you actually want to live.

This Episode Is For You If…

✔️ You feel like you’re doing all the things, but never enough

✔️  You’ve checked every box, yet still don’t feel fulfilled

✔️  You’re tired of burning out but scared to slow down

✔️  You’re craving a business and life that feel aligned, joyful, and true to YOU
