Of all the productivity tips and #lifehacks, there’s one that’s not talked about enough for women and moms – your menstrual cycle.
Yep. You read that correctly. Understanding your menstrual cycle can actually help you align your daily and weekly tasks to maximize your energy and time.
You can actually use the natural rhythm of your cycle to get out of that deadly “hustle harder” mentality and start living in alignment with your priorities while honoring the body and time given to you.
Chances are that when you first got your period, you were a little excited (and maybe also embarrassed or ashamed) by this milestone and huge rite of passage into womanhood. But you probably didn’t understand what was happening inside your body.
Sure you knew the biology involved, but not about how your monthly cycle was connected to the way you felt or the other functions in your body.
And I can almost guarantee that you didn’t know that getting more familiar and in tune with your cycle could actually help you reach your goals and not work so hard. Say what?!
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t worry. I only learned about this within the past year – and I’m 41 years old!
My guest this week shares her amazing knowledge and personal experience with cycle alignment and using the power of her menstrual cycle in her daily life.
Ali B. Cranmer is a Body and Business Integrator. She helps menstruating entrepreneurs break free from burnout and reclaim their power by aligning with the rhythm of their menstrual cycle.
Side note: If you’re postpartum or otherwise not menstruating, we get into that in the conversation too! So there’s something for everyone.
Ali believes women feel undeniable pressure from society to be able to do it all. And we’ve been doing our businesses and our bodies a disservice by glorifying the hustle.
If you’re thinking this all sounds a little too “woo woo” for you. And you’re
not sure about being so in tune with your body or how that’s going to practically help you in your mom life, I’m going to ask you to give it a chance.
I think you’ll find it to be enlightening, refreshing, and motivating in the best possible way.
