Did you know that society is built around a man's 24 hour cycle?! Yup, that's why you have been having a hard time, Flowmie! Many women struggle with keeping up with society's expectations because the system is built around men!

We're expected to perform and operate the same way throughout the month, when in reality, our bodies weren't created to do perform like a man's.

In this episode, we discuss the concept of cycle syncing and its relationship with ADHD. We explore how understanding the menstrual cycle can help navigate neurodivergence, improve productivity, and maintain balance.

We also cover the four phases of the menstrual cycle—menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases—and how each phase affects energy levels, motivation, and ADHD symptoms.

Lastly, we learn some practical tips for aligning productivity with these phases.

This episodes Rocking Chair Wisdom:

1. Women work on a 28 day-ish cycle compared to the world and men who work on a 24 HOUR cycle.

2. Each phase of the menstrual cycle affects how our brains function because of hormones. Track your phases and symptoms via an app ( I use Stardust) or a journal.
