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...

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...

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...

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 cycle isn’t meant to control you. 

It’s meant to guide you back to you.

What We Get Into This Episode

➡️ Why cycle syncing can start to feel restrictive (even when it helped you at first)

➡️ The subtle shift from awareness → dependency

➡️ How I realized I was controlling my cycle instead of listening to my body

➡️ What “flow” actually looks like in real life (not just in theory)

➡️ The difference between honoring your energy vs. forcing alignment

➡️ Why rigid systems no matter how “feminine” can still disconnect you

➡️ The real goal behind cycle syncing (that most women miss)

Key Takeaways

✅ Cycle syncing is a tool, not a rulebook

✅ Awareness without self-trust still creates pressure

✅ Your body doesn’t need perfect structure

✅ True alignment happens when you adjust in real time

✅ Flow comes from listening, not controlling

✅ You don’t need to “get it right” to be in rhythm

✅ The deeper work is learning to trust yourself, not your schedule

“There's so much magic when a woman really taps into this innate sense of connection, like going back to the sense of self-trust.” Renae Fieck

This Episode Is For You If..

👉 You’ve been cycle syncing… but something still feels off

👉 You feel like you’re “doing it right” but not getting the results you expected

👉 You’re tired of trying to follow systems perfectly

👉 You want more ease, flexibility, and flow in your business or life

👉 You notice yourself second-guessing your energy or decisions

👉 You’re ready to move from structure → self-trust

Why This Matters

So many women don’t need another system.

They need to reconnect with themselves.

Cycle syncing was never meant to box you in.. it was meant to wake you up to your body, your rhythm, and your power.

But if you stop at structure, you miss the real transformation.

This shift from following your cycle to trusting yourself is what creates:

✔️ consistency without force

✔️ alignment without pressure

✔️ and results that actually feel sustainable

This is where your power lives.

🎧 Listen to the full episode

This one is going to land differently.

I can feel it.

And I’d love to hear what shifts for you when it does.

If something in this episode hit deeper than just “that was interesting”… pay attention to that.

Because this is the work we go all the way into inside Awaken Your Wild Feminine Retreat.

Not surface-level strategy. Not another system. But the kind of nervous system and embodiment shifts that completely change how you show up, lead, and receive.

If you’re ready for that level of transformation… come join us.
