For too long, women have been told to push through their menstrual cycle, ignoring the energy dips, mood shifts, and hormonal changes that happen every single month. But here’s the truth: your cycle isn’t a weakness—it’s a built-in performance strategy. When understood, it becomes a powerful tool to boost productivity, enhance leadership, and prevent burnout.

In this episode, I’ll break down the four phases of your menstrual cycle and how each one impacts your energy, creativity, and decision-making. You’ll learn how to work with your menstrual cycle, not against it, so you can align your workflow, workouts, and leadership style with your biology. This approach, known as cycle syncing for women leaders, is key to cycle aware leadership and thriving as a BioAligned Leader.

And if you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause? This episode isn’t just for menstruating women. You’ll learn perimenopause energy tips and menopause performance strategies rooted in the BioAligned Woman Method™—so you can lead with clarity and confidence through every hormonal shift.

We’ll also explore how hormonal changes and leadership are deeply connected, and how honoring your cycle can support long-term women’s health and leadership success.
