Episode Title: Plan With Your Body: Aligning Your Cycle, Energy & Expectations

Host: Shedrica Shant’e | Chronically Planned Podcast
📅 Air Date: Wednesday, April 9, 2025

Hey friend,

Whew… this one is personal.
I’ve spent years feeling frustrated with myself for not being able to “keep up” every week. Some days I could do it all… other days, I couldn’t even get out of bed. And I used to think something was wrong with me.

But then I realized—my body wasn’t failing me.
I was just ignoring my rhythm.
My cycle, my chronic illness, my life—it all moves in phases.
And it was time I started planning like it.

This week, I’m inviting you into a soft, honest conversation about how I plan with my body, not against it—and how that’s changed everything for me.In this episode, I’m sharing:

💜 Why I stopped calling myself “inconsistent”
🩸 How I plan differently during each phase of my menstrual cycle
🌿 Real-life examples of what I do (and don’t do) in each phase
🙏🏽 The prayers + mindset shifts that help me plan with grace
🌙 What phase I’m in right now + how I’m adjusting for it

This episode is for the woman who’s tired of pushing through like her energy never changes.
It’s for the woman who’s ready to stop the guilt and start honoring her flow.💬 Quote to hold onto this week:

“You are not behind. You are not inconsistent.
You’re just learning how to plan with your body—and that’s powerful.”
