Here’s what I did to help my business work FOR me, not AGAINST me as a woman:

1. Got my physical period back (ditched the hormonal IUD)
2. Used tools such as @ouraring or @whoop to help with tracking my cycle (you can also track it for free using Apple Health app or other period tracking apps like @stardust )
3. Learned more about what each phase meant so I can manage my energy 👇🏼

MENSTRUAL CYCLE 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 BUSINESS STUFF:🩸MENSTRUATION (3-8 days):

More intuitive, a little tired, sensitive.

I take it easy during the time – I might not even work at all during this week.

This is a good time to journal, read, reflect, learn (or watch your fav show on Netflix lmao)

🔥 FOLLICULAR (14 days): THE BEST PHASE

You have lots of energy, you’re more upbeat, creative, clear headed.

This is a great time to BATCH film videos or BATCH write.

Basically do work that requires more physical or mental energy, like strategy or creative work!

🫂 OVULATION (7 days):You probably have a higher sex drive, feel more happy, social, and attractive 🙂

Good time to network, connect with others, do interviews, have meetings, go to events, and brainstorm ideas with other people!

😣 LUTEAL (14 days): THE WORST PHASE

Anxious, hangry, depressed, moody. @leonlarano knows to make me fruit platters, buy me snacks, and treat me like even more like a QUEEN during this time. 😁❤️

Focus on admin work, organizing, scheduling stuff, editing, repurposing content, etc. Repetitive, non-demanding type of work.

Also avoid saying yes to new projects during this time and take more breaks if you need! I am EXTRA forgiving of myself during this time 🥰

Hope this helps ladies!! ❤️✨ Being a woman is AMAZING. This is just a GUIDE for you to be more in tune with the natural cycles of your body.

I don’t always follow this to a T, but when I feel a burst or depletion of energy, I use this as a guide to figure out what to work on.
