80: Mini-Series! Cycle-Syncing Part 1: Rest, Reflection, & Releasing Phase

"Take some time to look at what your menstrual phase looks like..."

I decided to bring Kristi Norman back onto my podcast to do a mini-series all on the topic of cycle-syncing for business owners. In part 1 of the mini-series we are focusing solely on the menstrual phase of the cycle, which Kristi eloquently calls the "Rest, Reflection, & Releasing Phase". In this first episode of the mini-series we unpack why slowing down doesn't equate to being lazy but rather it's a necessity. Kristi shares how aligning your business with your natural hormonal rhythms can lead to deeper clarity, intuitive insight, and more sustainable productivity. We also share the common guilt that female entrepreneurs tend to experience around the idea of rest and how honoring this phase can actually enhance your business flow and creativity. 

Key Takeaways:

• The menstrual phase is for rest, reflection, and release.
• Rest isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.
• Planning ahead for this phase reduces stress and conflict.
• Intuition and self-awareness thrive when you slow down.
• Boundaries and gentle work help honor your natural rhythm.

Affirmation & Journal Prompt:

• Rest is Best Right Now.
• When I trust my intuition, the next right step is revealed; what is revealing itself right now to me?
