Exploring the significance of understanding female physiology and how it aligns with business practices through cycle syncing. Audrey speaks on the menstrual cycle's four phases – menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal – likening each phase to seasonal changes, making it easier to remember when managing business activities. The conversation highlights how women can leverage their cyclical nature for optimal productivity, illustrating that aligning business tasks with the natural rhythms of the body can prevent burnout and enhance creativity.

Audrey emphasizes the power of recognizing one’s unique cycle, urging women to embrace their innate abilities rather than conforming to a one-size-fits-all work routine. She also touches upon the impact of hormonal birth control and the journey into menopause, framing these experiences as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs looking to harmonize their business strategies with their health and well-being.
