Summary
Ever considered how your menstrual cycle or the lunar phases can supercharge your productivity and creativity?
In today’s episode, I deep dive into one of my favorite topics: cyclical planning and alignment. I shed light on how you can harness the power of your cycle or the lunar phases to optimize your time, energy, and productivity. I share my journey of exploring cyclical planning over the past eight years and discuss the four distinct hormonal phases of the menstrual cycle, along with their energetic equivalents in the lunar calendar. Whether you have a regular menstrual cycle, are postmenopausal, or simply want to align with the moon, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you make the most of your cyclical nature.
“Luteal phase is our once-a-month opportunity to assess our life, look at what’s working, and what needs to change.” – Kate Northrup
