Success In Mind; Motivation, Mindset, and Success for Entrepreneurs Teri Holland

Do you ever notice that you're more productive at certain times of the month? Or maybe you're more creative at other times?
In this episode, I'm joined by Renae Fieck, an occupational therapist, mom of three, and host of the Cycle Advantage podcast. Renae specializes in helping high-achieving women understand and utilize their menstrual cycles to maximize productivity and success in their businesses.
Through her story of personal challenges and discoveries, Renae introduces the concept of aligning business activities with the four phases of the menstrual cycle. She explains the distinct phases and their respective impacts on energy levels and productivity. Additionally, she offers insights for women with irregular cycles or those who don't menstruate.
We explore how working in sync with one's cycle can alleviate stress, increase efficiency, and lead to significant business growth. Renae shares practical tips and personal anecdotes, emphasizing the importance of listening to one's body and planning business tasks in harmony with natural rhythms.
