83: Cycle-Syncing Part 4: Either Burn-Out or Level-Up


Listen Later

Let's talk about the phase no one warns you about.

The one where you feel like you should still be going full speed, but your body is screaming at you to slow down. The one where your inner critic is the loudest. The one where you're either finishing strong or burning out completely.

Welcome to the luteal phase of your cycle: the Burn Phase. The Alchemist Phase. The get-shit-done-or-fall-apart phase. Here's the truth: most women are doing this phase completely wrong. They're overcommitting. Overscheduling. Over-pushing. And then they wonder why they're exhausted, emotional, and battling PMS like it's a full-time job. What if I told you this phase could actually be your most productive phase, if you know how to work with it instead of against it?

In this episode, Kristi Norman and I break down the Final Phase of your menstrual cycle: the final stretch before your reset. This is where you complete, refine, and alchemize everything you've been building all month.

Here's what we cover: The hormonal shift that happens during this phase (and why you feel so different)

  •  The best business tasks to focus on: editing, automating, completing, decluttering
  •  How to finish strong without burning yourself out
  •  What to do when you have deadlines or events during this phase (because life doesn't stop)
  •  How to manage your inner critic when she's at her loudest
  •  Self-care and boundary strategies to protect your energy
  •  How to prepare emotionally and spiritually for your menstrual reset

If you've ever felt like you're so close to finishing something but you just can't get it across the finish line—or if you've ever wondered why you're so hard on yourself during certain weeks—this episode will change everything.

Let us know what you think!
