Save this Feminine Cycle Syncing Schedule

🚩Save this Feminine Cycle Syncing Schedule👇

Why I Stopped Pushing Through—and Started Syncing With My Cycle.
My energy changed a lot after 40.

I started noticing how often I was frustrated for being “off”—when really, my body was just in a different phase of its natural rhythm.
 ✨ When I gave myself permission to follow it instead of fight it, everything shifted.
Not just my productivity, but my peace.

Here’s what that looks like for me as a creative mom who still has big goals—but honors her energy instead of ignoring it:

🌑 Menstrual (Days 1–5) → Rest. Reflect. Retreat. What I allow: Canceling the extras, cuddles, quiet meals, journaling, soft podcasts, total permission to be still.

🌱 Follicular (Days 6–13) → Fresh starts. Planning. Creativity. What I lean into: New ideas, organizing, writing, dreaming up what’s next.

🌕 Ovulatory (Days 14–17) → Connection. Communication. Confidence. What I schedule: Friend dates, family outings, big conversations, batch errands, showing up.

🍂 Luteal (Days 18–28) → Discernment. Deep work. Cozy nesting. What I focus on: Prepping, cleaning, saying “no,” creating comfort, finishing strong before I rest.

—
Even in perimenopause or menopause, your energy has rhythm. It’s not all in your head. It’s in your body—and it’s wise.
✨ You don’t need to be perfect. Just aware.
—
📌 Save this for when you want to check in with your body.  👇 Do you already notice these shifts in your month? Has this helped you trust yourself more?

🌟 PS: If you want to go even deeper and understand your unique energy blueprint (beyond your cycle), DM me the word ENERGY and I’ll send you something beautiful.

I was on such a fast track: Right ou

🏃‍♀️ I was on such a fast track:
Right out of college, I was headed to Naval flight school — and then just as quickly, I was kicked out for being too short to fly.

The very next day, I was driving from Pensacola to Newport, Rhode Island to learn how to drive ships and run engineering departments.

My whole life, I associated speed with ambition.
The faster I moved, the more successful I thought I was becoming.

But motherhood changed me.
It introduced me to a different kind of ambition — a quieter kind.
A kind of ambition that’s measured in presence, not promotions.

In how well I manage my energy, not how many tasks I check off-(I relearn this so many times and each time I get back on track quicker- 👋 Generators).

In the kind of role model I am becoming — not just what I am achieving.

Slowing down and living in my energy didn’t erase my ambition.
It refined it.

When I honor my energy, there is still room for my personal dreams too.

Your kids won’t be little forever. The woman you’re becoming will be with you for a lifetime.

Slowing down isn’t falling behind — it’s finally running your own race.

❤️ This if you’re learning how to live in tune with your energy — and still hold space for your dreams.

Your burnout type + cure.

Save this for when

👇Your burnout type + cure.⛳Save this for when you are at the end of your rope (or hopefully before).

I asked ChatGPT Unhinged to decode mom burnout + the cure for each Human Design Type—and WOW. Every word hit like a cosmic slap AND a hug.

⚡Generator
🧨 Burnout: Saying yes to everything for your kids and the a lady you just met like it’s your job, crying in the Costco lot clutching an empty Starbucks cup like it holds the secrets of the universe
💡 Fix: If it doesn’t spark joy like fresh Target home decor, GTFO. 🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a holy no.”
⚡Manifesting Generator
🧨 Burnout: Half-finished everything. Full meltdown. Somehow still packing lunches and launching businesses. 💡 Fix: Pivot like a queen. You don’t owe anyone a tidy ending. 🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “Fast is fine. Unfinished is divine.”
⚡Manifestor
🧨 Burnout: Rage-texting in your head while fantasizing about faking your own disappearance.. Everyone wants updates. Rage levels = dragon-in-a-drive-thru when no one’s listening. 💡 Fix: Inform. Vanish. Return when your spark is back. 🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I don’t ask—I declare, then go take a nap.”
⚡Projector
🧨 Burnout: Giving TED Talks no one asked for. No one sees you. You Google “jobs for tired geniuses.”
💡 Fix: Wait to be chosen. Nap like it’s your side hustle. 🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I’m not for everyone—I’m for the invited few.”
⚡Reflector
🧨 Burnout: You’ve become everyone. Forgot yourself. Agreed to weird events you spiritually object to. 💡 Fix: Cleanse. Moonwatch. Yeet other people’s energy out. 🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I am not your disco ball—I’m the moon.”

Don’t know your type? Comment TYPE and I’ll send you the link.

The reading didn’t make sense to me at the time

The reading didn’t make sense to me at the time but it’s interesting how life unfolds.

Recently I told my Dad that I was very content and he said, “Well that’s good because up until now, your life has been kind of hard.”

While I didn’t see it that way, I can understand that it has definitely been a period of trial and error.

From painful relationships, loss, to loneliness and a whirlwind of career shifts (Naval pilot dreams dashed, then living life as an acupuncturist) in my 20s to retreating in my 30s and building a foundation with my family.

Now I’m’ starting to come off the roof to reengage.

If you ever feel in a rush to get to a certain place, I want to remind you that you’re in the perfect place that you’re supposed to be at this very moment.

What ways has your life unfolded in unexpected ways?

Happy Easter! So many blessings to you and your family.

I was so inspired by today’s sermon- the Holy Spirit energizes every one of us to live a life a goodness and joy. We weren’t created to work every single second. We were created to experience joy and love in this life too.

A lovely day to remind us of the love that God has for us. ❤️
