Periods and productivity. It’s important to understand the different phases of your menstrual cycle, and how to use that to their advantage to be more productive at work. It’s not just a case of having your period, and not having your period. There are 4 distinct seasons.

In the 3rd episode of the Females in Tech Show, we talk about the perception society has about periods, and how women are charging through life, acting like men.

Tamara shares an example of when she didn’t honour her menstrual cycle, and how her body started to shut down as a result. She provides an overview of the 4 seasons of your menstrual cycle, and the superpowers women possess in each season.

We also talk about how women can sync their work schedule to align with their monthly cycle.
