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
