Today, we’re diving into a powerful but rarely talked-about topic: tracking your menstrual cycle as part of your business strategy. No, this isn’t just another health hack; this is about syncing with your natural rhythms to enhance your productivity, creativity, and impact as a Boss Mom on a daily basis.
I’m thrilled to introduce Lisha, our guest expert who’s passionate about helping women understand their cycles so they can work with their bodies rather than against them. She’ll share insights on how to notice your cycle’s influence on energy, mood, and focus—tools that every Boss Mom should have in her toolkit.
As moms and entrepreneurs, we juggle a lot—kids, schedules, the unexpected—and, on top of it, our own monthly rhythms. At Boss Mom, we celebrate those natural cycles. Tuning into your cycle can feel like an untapped superpower, giving you extra clarity and control over how and when you show up in your business.
Many of us were never taught to pay attention to our cycles in a way that supports our work lives. But when you track your menstrual cycle and understand each phase, you can harness those natural changes to boost your productivity and find more balance.
Your cycle moves through four distinct phases, each bringing its own vibe and energy. Here’s how each phase can impact how you feel, think, and show up for your business:
We’re often told to “push through” or treat our cycles as a problem to fix. But what if, instead, you used those rhythms to your advantage? Tracking your menstrual cycle and aligning your work with it can help you reduce burnout, stay balanced, and find more joy in what you do.
When you work with your cycle, you’ll feel more in tune with yourself and your goals, creating energy for what matters most—your family, your business, and your wellbeing.
If you’ve ever been told to “just go on birth control” to manage symptoms like cramps or mood swings, you’re not alone. The mainstream approach often labels hormones as “problems” that need controlling. But here’s the truth: our hormones are assets, not annoyances.
Lisha believes in seeing hormones as natural strengths. Birth control can quiet certain symptoms, but it doesn’t address the root cause. Hormones are vital, impacting not only reproduction but also our creativity, resilience, and overall health.
Lisha’s approach focuses on uncovering root causes like blood sugar, metabolism, liver health, and daily stress. Chronic stress, for example, sends our bodies into “protection mode,” which can trigger symptoms like fatigue and mood swings. By addressing these foundations, you support a smoother, more balanced cycle.
The big takeaway? Our bodies are designed to work with us. When we listen to, respect, and align with our natural rhythms, amazing things happen. Syncing with your cycle could be the productivity hack you didn’t know you needed.
