The Cycle Advantage Renae Fieck

Most women start noticing how their cycles really affect their bodies around the age of 35 to 40. 
And then for many it’s not that long before you’re hit with the realization that, “oh, things are changing.”
I know menopause is often overlooked in conversations. It’s not something we’re chatting about over coffee. And really, when women are talking about it, it’s generally not the most encouraging conversation.
But imagine if there was a different way to navigate through menopause…
Join Renee and me as we share proactive steps you can take to prepare for it. Whether you're already in your menopause stage or just starting to notice some changes, get ready to discover a whole lot about what's going on, especially how menopause shakes things up when it comes to your body and cycle.
Join us in this insightful podcast episode as we also talk about:
The truth that they don’t tell you about menopause symptoms
Proactive steps you can start taking today to prepare yourself for perimenopause
How healthy habits can reduce stress and anxiety
Cycle syncing during menopause (is it possible?)

Meet Renee 
Renee is a women’s health and nutrition coach who helps busy, high-achieving women prioritize their health and nutrition and create lasting habits. Before becoming a health coach, she worked in a therapeutic high school, assisting students to manage and change their behaviors. After being laid off, she decided to take her knowledge of behavior change to work with women to create nutrition and health habits that work for them. This career shift came after the realization that her friends always asked her for advice on improving their health and nutrition.
Her work incorporates the science of health mindset and compassionate behavior change into the coaching experience. As a result, clients adopt practices to help them nourish and move their bodies while breaking the diet cycle. Clients leave coaching with sustainable health habits and a repaired relationship with food and movement. She has recently launched The Thrive Community, a membership portal for women 40+ who want support during the midlife transition to help them manage their stress, find joy in movement, sleep better, and have more energy.

How will you know if someone is giving quality content in social media?
Sometimes it's when you find yourself pausing mid-scroll, actually paying attention to what's being shared. 
Other times, it's when someone's content feels refreshingly authentic and not just another echo in the mainstream.
But let’s be real, making someone feel truly seen and heard in this virtual world can be a bit of a puzzle. 
And it sometimes feels like everyone's chasing likes and views..

I get it, it's not always easy to let go of that competitive mindset. 
We're wired to strive for success, often feeling like it's a race against everyone else.
But as a biz owner for years, I've learned that success isn't a zero-sum game. There's space for all of us to thrive. 
And when one person wins, it can create opportunities for others too. It's more about collaboration than competition.
Especially if you’re a new business owner, these relationships can either make or break your journey. 
Business is tough, no doubt. And balancing it with everything else life throws at us? That's a whole other challenge.
That’s why in this podcast episode, we are going to talk all about leveraging collaborations in our biz, how we can stop self sabotaging ourselves, and actually create the business that we want while cultivating magnetic relationships.
Dive into this episode as I also shared:
Why women are designed to be in community
How I overcome the struggle of fear-based thinking and scarcity mindset in my biz
Why collaborating with others in your niche can become a game-changer for your biz
The importance of trusting your intuition in collaborations to avoid negative outcomes

I've seen this happen to so many high-achieving women.. 
Drowning in accomplishments yet feeling utterly exhausted, with little time left for the things that truly bring joy.
They get caught up in daily tasks and commitments, only to realize that they’re left feeling drained and unfulfilled. 
But here's the thing, I've been there myself. And let me tell you, it's not a sustainable way to live. 
You deserve better. You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
That's why in this episode, I'm diving into some key strategies that have personally helped me reclaim my energy and prioritize what truly matters. 
If you're tired of feeling like you're running on empty, if you're craving more from life than just ticking off tasks, then you're in the right place.
