As a business coach for mums, I'm always on the lookout for strategies that can help you thrive in your business while honouring your unique needs as a woman and mother. That's why I was thrilled to welcome back Lizzie York to the Mothers of Enterprise podcast for our episode, "Cycle Syncing for Success: Revolutionise Your Business by Working With Your Body, Not Against It".
In this eye-opening conversation, Lizzie shares invaluable insights on how we can harness the power of our menstrual cycles to boost productivity, creativity, and overall well-being in our businesses. If you've ever felt like you're constantly swimming against the tide in your business journey, this episode could be the game-changer you’ve been searching for!
One of the most powerful moments in our chat was when Lizzie said, "Our cycle is a framework to live a more balanced and synchronized approach to life where we're allowing for these periods of intuition and creativity, then we have this time of peak action and energy, and then we have this reflection and a period of rest before we start again."
This statement held so many a-ha moments for me!. As women in business, we often push ourselves to maintain a constant level of productivity, ignoring the natural ebbs and flows of our energy. But what if I told you that by working with your body's natural rhythm, you could actually achieve more while feeling less stressed and more fulfilled?
Understanding Your Inner Seasons
Lizzie introduced us to the concept of 'inner seasons' – phases of our menstrual cycle that mirror the seasons of nature. By understanding and working with these seasons, we can optimise our business activities and boost our overall performance.
Inner Winter (Menstruation): Days 1-5 This is a time for rest, reflection, and intuition. It's perfect for checking in with yourself about your business direction and getting creative insights.
Inner Spring (Pre-ovulation): Days 6-14 As your energy rises, this is the time for brainstorming, collaborating, and taking action on new ideas.
Inner Summer (Ovulation): Days 15-17 Your confidence peaks here, making it ideal for networking, pitching, and public speaking.
Inner Autumn (Pre-menstrual): Days 18-28 This phase is great for focused, detailed work like accounting, reviewing projects, and planning.
Imagine a world where you schedule your big pitches and networking events during your 'inner summer' when your confidence is at its peak, or use your 'inner autumn' for detailed planning and analysis. Can you feel the difference this could make in your business and life?
