    Stop Overthinking Your Business Decisions

    What if cycle-syncing was supposed to help you trust yourself but instead, you’ve started using it as another reason to second-guess every decision? In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I’m talking about something so many women struggle with: overthinking. Especially when you’re a business owner trying to make the “right” decision about your launch, pricing, content, workload, or next move. When we start treating cycle-syncing as a set of rigid rules—launch during this phase, rest during that phase, create during another phase—it’s easy to fall into analysis paralysis. Instead of using your menstrual cycle and energy as information, you start looking for the perfect time and the perfect answer. And spoiler alert: there is no perfect time or perfect decision. There are simply different choices with different trade-offs. I’m walking you through how to recognize when overthinking is actually perfectionism or fear in disguise, how to check in with your body and intuition, and why giving yourself a deadline can help you finally make the decision you’ve been circling around. I also talk about why action creates momentum, why confidence comes from doing, and how making decisions gives you real data about what works for you and your business. What You'll Learn: Why overthinking can turn cycle-syncing into analysis paralysis and why your cycle isn't a rigid rulebook.How to distinguish between asking whether something is the “perfect” time and asking whether it’s a reasonable time based on your cycle and energy.How to identify the fear underneath the decision you're avoiding.Why giving yourself a 24-hour deadline can help you stop analyzing and start moving.How taking action creates momentum, confidence, and real data about what works for your business.Your Challenge:Think of one decision you've been overthinking in your business. Maybe it's launching something, changing your prices, hiring someone, changing your offer, or finally doing the thing you've been thinking about for weeks, or even months. Name the decision. Ask yourself: What am I actually afraid of? Then give yourself 24 hours to decide and take one small action. If you're still stuck after those 24 hours, come back to the show notes and schedule a Consistent Month Call so we can work through what's really keeping you stuck and rework the decision around your unique situation.

    Sustainable Marketing: How to Keep Showing Up Without Always Showing Up with Laura England

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I’m joined by Laura England, founder of The Writer’s Harbour, a sustainable marketing agency. We’re talking about one of my favorite business questions: What if your marketing could keep working even when you’re not? Laura shares her unconventional journey from studying drama and English, to digital marketing, to spending three years working on cruise ships, and ultimately returning to entrepreneurship with a completely different perspective on how she wanted to market her business. Laura and I dive into sustainable marketing strategies like Pinterest, LinkedIn, email marketing, evergreen content, and thought leadership, as well as why you don't have to rely on constantly creating Reels, chasing viral content, or being visible every single day to grow your business. We also talk about how these strategies can complement cycle syncing by creating marketing assets that continue working during the phases when your energy is lower. Laura shares how she plans her marketing around her own cycle, why she tracks the days when she suddenly wants to "burn the business to the ground," and how she uses data and client feedback to remind herself that a temporary feeling doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with her business. What You'll Learn: Why sustainable marketing isn't necessarily slow—it compounds over time.How Pinterest, email, and LinkedIn can create marketing momentum without requiring you to constantly be online.How to choose marketing platforms based on your actual business goals rather than feeling like you have to be everywhere.Ways to build an evergreen marketing strategy that supports your energy and cycle.Why tracking your cycle, emotions, and business data can help you avoid making major business decisions based on a temporary low-energy day.If you've ever thought, "I know I need to market my business, but I cannot keep creating content every single day," I think you're going to love this conversation. Sustainable marketing isn't about doing nothing. It's about doing work today that continues to support your business tomorrow and creating a business that can keep moving even when you need to slow down. About Laura: After leaving her career on cruise ships, Laura is now building The Writer's Harbour, her writing agency dedicated to helping women gain confidence in writing their stories. From sustainable marketing to LinkedIn, amplifying voices outside of the algorithm is something every founder should be focusing on in 2026.

    The Mid-Launch Crash: What Nobody Tells You

    Have you ever started a launch feeling excited, motivated, and full of energy... only to hit a wall halfway through? In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I'm unpacking why so many women entrepreneurs experience the dreaded mid-launch crash and why it doesn't mean you're bad at launching or not cut out for business. More often than not, it means your launch strategy isn't working with your body. I'm sharing four common mistakes that leave women feeling completely depleted during launches, along with practical ways to create a more sustainable launch plan. We talk about cycle syncing your launch, batching content during your highest-energy phases, scheduling your biggest visibility moments strategically, and making sure you have the support you need when your energy naturally shifts. Whether you're planning a masterclass, promoting a new offer, or preparing for your next launch, this episode will help you protect your energy without sacrificing your results. What You'll Learn: The four biggest reasons women experience a mid-launch energy crash.How to plan a cycle-synced launch that works with your body's natural energy.Why batching content and scheduling visibility strategically can prevent burnout.What to focus on during your lower-energy phases so your launch keeps moving without exhausting you.How planning, flexibility, and support can help you finish your launch feeling energized instead of depleted. If you've ever finished a launch thinking, "I never want to do that again," this episode is for you. My hope is that you'll leave with a new perspective: launches will always require energy, but they don't have to leave you completely drained. When you plan with your body instead of against it, you can finish strong AND actually enjoy doing it again.

    Build a Business That Fits Your Life with Chloé Midy

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I sit down with business coach Chloé Midy to talk about what it really takes to build a profitable business that supports your life instead of consuming it. After scaling her freelance business to consistent €5k+ months, Chloé realized that success didn't mean much if it came at the expense of her well-being. Together, we explore how simplifying your offers, refining your positioning, raising your prices, and aligning your business with your personal values can create both freedom and sustainable growth. One of my favorite themes throughout our conversation is the power of awareness. Whether we're talking about your marketing strategy, your pricing, your menstrual cycle, or your vision for your life, it all starts with paying attention. Chloé shares why trying to do more isn't always the answer, how to identify the right-fit clients, and why understanding your own seasons of business can help you grow without falling into burnout. If you've ever felt like you're building someone else's version of success, this episode will encourage you to define success for yourself and create a business that truly supports it. What You'll Learn: Why doing less can often lead to more sustainable business growth.How refining your offers, pricing, and positioning helps attract premium, aligned clients.Why self-awareness is the foundation for both cycle syncing and long-term business success.How to recognize your personal and business "seasons" so you can work more intentionally.Why building your business around your own definition of success leads to greater freedom and fulfillment. If this conversation inspired you, take a few minutes to reflect on what success genuinely looks like for you—not what social media, your industry, or someone else's business says it should be. The more you build a business around your own values, energy, and goals, the more sustainable your success will become. About Chloé: Chloé Midy is a business coach for established freelancers stuck below consistent €5k months. After scaling her own freelance business to €5k+ months, she's now spent over 3 years as a full-time digital nomad. She helps freelancers refine their offer, positioning and pricing so they can sign premium clients on repeat and build a business that serves their life (and not the other way around).

    Rest or Avoidance? How to Know the Difference

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I'm answering a question that came directly from one of our monthly audio coaching sessions inside the In Sync Community: How do I know if I'm truly resting or just avoiding the work? It's a question I think every woman entrepreneur has wrestled with at some point, especially when you're learning to work with your menstrual cycle instead of pushing through exhaustion. Rest and avoidance can look almost identical on the surface, but they lead to very different outcomes. In this episode, I walk you through five powerful questions that will help you distinguish between honoring your body's need for recovery and letting fear, perfectionism, or discomfort keep you stuck. If you've ever wondered whether you're using cycle syncing as a strategy or as an excuse, this conversation will help you build greater self-awareness, trust yourself more deeply, and create sustainable business momentum without burning out. What You'll Learn: The difference between intentional rest and avoidance disguised as self-care.Five questions to help you determine what your body truly needs.How to use your menstrual cycle as a strategic business tool without falling into an all-or-nothing mindset.Why awareness and self-trust are essential for preventing burnout and making confident decisions.How strategic rest can help you build more consistent momentum in your business. If this episode challenged you, I'd love to invite you into the In Sync Community, where conversations like this happen every month. You don't have to navigate entrepreneurship—or cycle syncing—alone. Sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes from having a safe place to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. Let's chat!

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I'm joined by Physician Assistant and Women's Wellness Coach Amy Dave for a conversation about what happens when we stop treating our menstrual cycle as something to simply "push through" and start using it as a guide for everyday life.

    What To Do When Your Deadlines Don't Match Your Cycle Phase

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I'm talking about one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding cycle syncing: the belief that you have to follow it perfectly for it to work. But what happens when a client schedules a call during your menstrual phase? What if your launch lands in your luteal phase? Or life throws you a curveball that doesn't fit neatly into your ideal calendar? The truth is, cycle syncing isn't about following a rigid set of rules. It's about learning to make informed decisions that honor your energy while still allowing you to run a successful business. I share why flexibility is one of the most important skills you can develop as a woman entrepreneur, how to prepare for unavoidable deadlines, and why awareness, not perfection, is what leads to sustainable productivity. If you've ever felt like you "failed" because your schedule didn't line up perfectly with your cycle, this episode will help you let go of the all-or-nothing mindset and start working with your body instead of against it. What You'll Learn: Why cycle syncing is a flexible framework, not a rigid set of rulesHow to navigate client calls, launches, and deadlines that don't align with your ideal phasePractical ways to prepare ahead during higher-energy phases to avoid burnout laterWhy tracking your energy is just as important as tracking your menstrual cycleHow flexibility leads to greater consistency, sustainability, and long-term business success Remember, the goal isn't to have a perfectly cycle-synced schedule. The goal is to become more aware of your body's patterns so you can make decisions that support both your business and your well-being. The more flexible you become, the more sustainable your business will be. Let's chat!

    In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I sit down with brand and web designer Emily Ruven to talk about what branding really means—and spoiler alert: it's so much more than choosing colors, fonts, or designing a beautiful website. Emily helps women entrepreneurs and service providers build strategic, personality-filled brands that attract aligned, higher-paying clients. Together, we explore how your brand is really about the experience people have with you, the confidence you have in showing up, and the story you're telling long before someone ever books your services. We also dive into how branding and cycle syncing can work together, helping you align your marketing, content creation, and visibility with your natural energy instead of forcing yourself into someone else's business strategy. Whether you're just starting your business, rebranding, or simply feeling disconnected from the way you're showing up online, this conversation will help you build a brand that's authentic, strategic, and uniquely yours. What You'll Learn: Why branding is much more than logos, colors, and a beautiful websiteHow a strong brand foundation helps you attract aligned, higher-paying clientsThe connection between confidence, authenticity, and showing up consistently in your businessHow to align branding and content creation with your menstrual cycle and natural energy levelsWhy embracing your personality, including being an introvert, can become one of your greatest business strengths If this episode encouraged you, share it with another woman entrepreneur who's trying to build a business that reflects who she truly is.
