The Cyclical CEO with Katie Glasgow

How to work with the season of harvest, recalibrate your body and business, and trust your own rhythm

Fall is finally starting to feel like fall here in Iowa. The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and after a long walk in the woods this morning, I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about with you.

The frequency of fall.

And no, I don't mean another list of things you're supposed to change because the season changed.

In fact, I saw a post about cyclical living this morning that basically turned it into another giant checklist for women, and it irritated the F out of me. 😂

Because cyclical living isn't about following someone else's perfect routine.

It's about learning how to listen to your body, trust your intuition, and recognize the season you're actually in.

In this episode, we're talking about fall as our season of harvest. A time to look at the seeds you've been planting all year, reap what's ready, recalibrate what isn't working anymore, release what you're done carrying, and begin preparing your body, home, and business for the slower season ahead.

I'm also sharing how I'm working with fall in my own life right now, from the foods I'm eating and the extra sleep my body is asking for to the projects I'm finishing, what I'm shifting in my business, and why I'm spending even more time outside listening instead of looking for answers everywhere else.

Because your body has a whole lot of wisdom.

The question is whether you're slowing down long enough to hear it.

If this conversation makes something inside of you go YES, I want more of this, come hang out with me on Substack.

I'm creating a free live series called The Fall Frequency Edit, where we're going to go deeper into the magic, energy, and frequency of fall and what it looks like to bring your body and your life back into harmony with the season you're actually in.

How I Get Sleep Scores in the 90s

The simple sleep habits that are working for me at 49 and in perimenopause

If you’re waking up exhausted, staring at the ceiling at 2 AM, or blaming your crappy sleep on being over 40 and your hormones, this episode is for you.

Over the last several months, I’ve been putting a lot more love and intention into my sleep, and I’m consistently seeing sleep scores in the 90s.

But here’s the thing: my sleep routine doesn’t start when my head hits the pillow.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m actually doing throughout the day to support my sleep, from morning sunlight and nourishment to my evening walk, putting down my phone, the oils and supplements I use, and the simple nighttime routine that tells my brain it’s finally time to shut down.

Because sleep isn’t separate from your work, your hormones, your energy, or your dreams.

Your body is the vehicle for all of it.

And sometimes we don’t need another business strategy. We need the capacity to actually do the things we already know we’re here to do.

Whether you want to book a call with me, explore the wellness products I use and love, hang out with me on Substack, or find me on social, I’ve put it all in one place.

You Don’t Need A Complicated Moon Ritual
How to use the New Moon to pause, listen to your body, and get clear on what you actually want.

If the thought of adding a New Moon ritual to your life feels like one more thing you’re supposed to learn, track, or do perfectly, this episode is for you.

Because working with the moon and your body doesn’t need to be complicated.

In this episode, I’m taking you onto the front porch with me for a conversation about the outside noise we’re constantly surrounded by, why so many of us have gotten disconnected from our own knowing, and how the New Moon gives us a built-in opportunity to pause.

I’ll walk you through a really simple New Moon practice you can use to turn down the noise, listen to your body, and ask yourself one very important question:

What do I actually want right now?

No complicated rituals required. Just a little space, a little quiet, and a willingness to listen.

If your body has been telling you that the way you’ve been working isn’t working anymore, my Fall Business Recalibration might be exactly what you need.

We’ll spend 90 minutes together looking at your business, your life, your capacity, and what you actually want in this next season. Then you’ll have 30 days of support from me as you begin putting it into practice.

I have 4 spots remaining for September. email me at [email protected] for more details. 

Read along on Substack: More front porch conversations about our bodies, business, cyclicality, and becoming the women we’re here to be. 

Stay connected: Find me on Instagram for the everyday conversations, behind the scenes, and whatever else I feel like talking about that day. @magicwithkatie

In this episode of The Cyclical CEO, I’m talking about the energy of September, the shifts that happen when one season of life starts closing, and what it looks like to trust the next step before you can see the whole path.

I share a story from 2012 that completely changed the direction of my life. At the time, I didn’t have the whole plan. I just had a nudge, a knowing, and one next step that felt impossible to ignore.

That decision led me into a completely different season of business, motherhood, leadership, travel, growth, and eventually the work I’m stepping into now.

We also talk about the difference between being tired from doing something you love and being depleted by a life that no longer fits.

September is an invitation to get clear on what you’re actually committed to.

What are you saying yes to?

What needs to come off your plate?

What desire has been quietly rumbling inside of you?

And what is the next micro movement you can make without needing to know exactly where it will lead?

In this episode, I also share more about my new Fall Business Recalibration sessions, where we look at your body, life, and business together and create a clear 30-day plan for forward movement.

If you’ve been feeling like something is shifting, something is ending, or something new is trying to come through, this episode is for you.

Find me on Instagram and Substack at @magicwithkatie.

And if this episode landed for you, share it with a woman who might be feeling that same rumbling too.

I'm recording this episode as I take a walk in the woods on the day of the August full moon. This also happens to be an eclipse and the closing of the eclipse portal that we have been in for the last two weeks. 

I understand that this might feel like a foreign language to you. The moon, eclipse season, and portals. 

But I trust that if you are here and listening, it's not by accident. 

You are curious, and you want to learn more. 

As we walk in the woods together, I'm going to share some no-nonsense advice on this full moon and share with you an easy ritual for this full moon that you can do over the next few days. 

We are truly on a threshold, and I can't wait to see what transpires as we commit to what's been brewing in our souls and let go of what's getting in the way. 

xo,
Katie

As we step into this new season, I am fully committed to you, your dreams, and showing you how to leap into your dream life. I can't do the work for you, but I can show you the way home.

The five boring things that I'm doing on repeat to reset after a summer with kiddos home, the fire horse year burning everything down, and to return home to myself....

I went out for a walk in the woods last week. 

Not with the intention of recording this podcast. 

But simply with the intention to reset and recalibrate my body after a few weeks of big emotions as I sent my firstborn off to college. 

Then the download came. The spark hit, and I ended up recording this episode because I know there are some beautiful souls out there that need to hear this one. 

Excuse the sound quality and embrace this message I have. 

I'm going to bring you up to date with some practical advice on the Fire Horse and Eclipse energy that we are walking through. 

Plus, I'm going to walk you through the five really boring practices I have right now to reset and recalibrate my capacity to fully step into a new paradigm of work right now. 

Nothing fancy. 
no alters. 

no rituals. 

just the basics with a bit of a different intention. 

Enjoy and trust this lands right where it needs to as you listen.

3 Questions Every Cyclical CEO Asks on Monday

It's Monday and I'm out on a walk, easing back into routines after a few days at the lake. Today I'm handing you the 3 questions I've been asking myself at the start of every week for the last 10 to 12 years, ever since I started embracing cyclical living. Short and sweet, a kickstart for your week, whenever you happen to be listening.

In this episode I'm talking about:

The 3 questions:

Track it. Use the data. Plan your week around what your body is actually telling you instead of pushing through it.

Drop a comment for a mini reading. I read every one.

Follow along:

This is the one where I tell you exactly what to do with the full moon this week. 

No fancy introductions here. I recorded this one for you sitting on a dock in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. I wanted you to have some tools to work with this full moon, exactly where it's at in this episode. I'm not near a ton of technology to do the fancy music introductions this week. This one is real and raw, but I wanted you to have it as you play with the energy of this moon.

In this episode I'm talking about:

Journal prompts to work with this moon:

Write it out. Then burn it. Let it go.

If this landed for you, come play with me in the next chapter.

Off the Beaten Path: Mercury Retrograde, the Fire Horse Year, and Living in Your Zone of Genius

This morning I did something a little different. Instead of recording on my deck or sticking to my usual walking path, I wandered off the main trail into the wild prairie down by the lake. I found a little log to sit on, watched tadpoles and fish jump in the water, and realized something important before I even started talking about today's topic.

So often the peace we are seeking is right off the main road. We set goals, we chase a number on the scale or a rank in our business or a sales target, and there is nothing wrong with goals. But the way we think we are supposed to get there is not always the way that actually works. So many times I reach my goals, just not in the way I expected, because I chose to listen to my intuition and step off the well worn path instead.

That is exactly what is happening right now. We are halfway through Mercury Retrograde, the planet of communication asking us to look at how we express ourselves, how we show up in relationships and contracts with ourselves and others. We are also heading into eclipse season, and all of 2026 has been a Fire Horse year inviting us into a new identity and a new trajectory.

So many of us are feeling irritated, exhausted, not quite ourselves. And so many women are quick to blame it all on hormones and perimenopause. After 15 years in the wellness space, I will tell you hormones are part of it, but a huge piece of our exhaustion comes from something else entirely: we are not operating in our zone of genius.

In this episode I walk through the four zones from Gay Hendricks' book The Big Leap:

I share why so many women, especially entrepreneurs and light workers, get stuck in the competence and excellence zones instead of the genius zone. Part of it is that getting paid for something that feels this good feels foreign. Part of it is not knowing how to let support in, so we end up doing tasks in our zone of incompetence instead of asking for help.

I also get personal about my own month: feeling depleted, wondering if it was "just my hormones," and then realizing I had been spending too much time in admin, content, and email funnels instead of the one on one coaching and content creation that is my actual zone of genius. A conversation with a mastermind sister helped me see it clearly.
