    49. Hack the System: HR-Approved Cycle-Aligned Work Schedule with Olivia Bolt, Somatic Healer & Mindset Coach

    49. Hack the System: HR-Approved Cycle-Aligned Work Schedule with Olivia Bolt, Somatic Healer & Mindset Coach

    Did you know the 9-5 work schedule is based on the natural 24-hour cycle of male hormones? Women’s hormones are not the same everyday, so what’s a menstruating woman to do with a 40-hour a week job schedule that expects us to behave like men? Breaking news! You can advocate for your cycle and politely demand that your hormones be respected. In this progressive talk, Olivia Bolt explains how she got her corporate job to allow flexibility in her work schedule in order to prioritize her menstrual health. Embark on this journey with us as we challenge traditional beliefs in pursuit of holistic well-being. 

    Plus, Olivia shares the story of how she had no idea a tampon was lost inside her for 6 months, and the profound healing journey that came afterwards.

    ​​Olivia Bolt is a mix between a Somatic Healer and a Mindset Coach with many years of experience in the field coaching others and a lifetime of experience working on herself. Her methodology is called Empowered Patterns, and it focuses on the correlation between our gut-brain axis, our beliefs, and why it’s so hard to do the things we say we want to do for ourselves. She has recently gone through a traumatic spiritual awakening and is here to share her story in an effort to help others.

    Today we discuss:


    Olivia’s health challenges and her incredible "lost tampon story"!


    Her transformation from struggle to acceptance


    How to advocate for your well-being at work


    The importance of self-compassion and somatic awareness in the healing process


    Empowering yourself to challenge the status quo 


    Why self-advocacy is necessary to prevent burnout

    47. Feminine Archetypes Throughout the Menstrual Cycle with Megan Hayne

    47. Feminine Archetypes Throughout the Menstrual Cycle with Megan Hayne

    Are you showing up as the maiden or the prostitute? Throughout our cycle, we can show up as different feminine archetypes. The Maiden is the young girl in us who wants to take on the world and do everything she wants to do. The shadow side of this archetype is the prostitute, the girl who says yes to everything and gives up all her energy to others. Come explore the feminine archetypes with us in this podcast as we dive deep into our inner seasons with their archetypes and shadow sides.

    Megan Hayne is a mother, womb holder, and village facilitator of menstrual sisterhood circles. She weaves mythology with our menstrual cycle to help us understand ourselves better through the feminine archetypes. Megan encourages us to be creative and create our own names for these archetypes as she has done. 

    Today, we discuss: 


    What is an archetype and how archetypes relate to our cyclical nature


    How Feminine archetypes show up as our inner seasons: 



    Spring is our Maiden phase


    Summer is our Mother phase


    Autumn is our Wild woman phase


    Winter is our Oracle phase



    How to ask for help when you are in need


    How to work with the shadow sides of these archetypes and examples of how to move through the emotions that arise
