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...

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 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_outlineIf you’ve ever hit a “goal” and thought… Wait. That’s it?
Welcome to the part of entrepreneurship nobody puts in the launch graphics.
You can build the business.
You can hit the number.
You can get the praise from mentors, clients, and strangers on Instagram.
And still feel weirdly empty, edgy, or like your body is quietly filing a complaint with HR.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Cailen Ascher to talk about what happens when you stop chasing other people’s version of success and start building a business that actually supports your life (not just your highlight reel).
Episode Summary
In this conversation, we unpack what it means to redefine success beyond hustle culture and build a sustainable coaching business rooted in integrity, alignment, and longevity. Cailen shares how shifting your definition of success changes everything: your energy, your marketing, your leadership, and your day-to-day life. If you’ve been craving a more aligned business (one that feels steady, not stressful), this episode will help you come back to what matters and make power moves from a place of truth.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
➡️ The shocking reason hitting your goals can actually feel worse than failing
➡️ Why your mentors advice doesn’t always work for you
➡️ The biggest reason most entrepreneurs never actually hit their goals (and what to do instead so that you do)
➡️ The hidden reason your nervous system doesn’t care about revenue (and how to fix it)
➡️ The simplest hack to stop letting business highs and lows steal your mood
➡️ The one morning practice that instantly gets your power back
➡️ How to tell if your strategy is set up for success or going to drain your energy
➡️The counterintuitive way your body signals when your business is out of alignment
Key Takeaways
👉 Success isn’t a number. It’s a felt experience.
Cailen talks about how her definition of success shifted from “more money, more stuff” to feeling supported, steady, secure, and like her work matters.
👉 If the journey feels like stress, the destination won’t feel like peace.
You don’t magically become regulated at 500K if you’re anxious at 50K. You just get more expensive problems (with cuter fonts).
👉 Your movement is the anchor. Strategy is the tool.
When your mission leads, the marketing gets cleaner. Your message gets stronger. And you stop copy-pasting someone else’s reel formula and calling it “alignment.”
👉Your vibe is a business asset.
Not everyone is meant to teach like a bubbly golden retriever in a blazer. Some of us are more “soft power” or “dark feminine truth-teller” and that’s not a flaw. That’s your magnetism.
👉 Your power amplifies in community.
Competition is a distraction. (And yes, that’s going to ruffle the feathers of anyone profiting off your insecurity.)
Why It Matters
If you’re building a business while secretly believing you’ll finally feel safe once you hit the next level, this episode is your gentle (but slightly disruptive) wake-up call.
Because if you keep chasing success that costs your body, your joy, and your relationships… you won’t just “burn out.”
You’ll build a life you need a vacation from.
This conversation will help you come back to the version of success that actually supports that.
This Episode Is For You If…
✔️ You’re tired of hustle culture but still low-key addicted to achieving the next big goal
✔️ You’ve hit goals and felt… nothing (or worse, felt the pressure to hit the next one)
✔️ You keep comparing yourself to mentors and wondering why their strategy doesn’t work for you
✔️ You’re craving more community, collaboration, and real connection (not just “networking”)
✔️ Your body is asking for a new way (and she’s not being subtle about it)
If you want another practical pathway into aligned strategy, this episode on cycle syncing + business success is also worth bookmarking.
