Continuing on from our introduction to our 28 DAY HORMONE GLOW UP CHALLENGE
CYCLE SYNC YOUR WORK, WORKOUTS & PRODUCTIVITY
The Productivity Method That Healed My Burnout & Balanced My Hormones
I don’t run my business the same way every week anymore. Because my brain + hormones don't work the same way every week - and that's what makes me successful.
We’ve been taught a dangerous lie: That success requires suffering. That “busy” is a badge of honour. That you should feel the same every day.
But women are dynamic beings. And when you ignore your natural ebb and flow and live in perpetual productivity, your endocrine system pays the price.
Common signs of living out of rhythm:
- brain fog
- sleep issues
- irritability
- fatigue
- inflammation
- puffiness/bloating/digestive flare ups
- anxiety
- headaches
- burnout
This is why cycle syncing your work is not optional — it’s hormone care. Remember, you can do anything in any phase because you are a powerful being, but working like this will give you the freedom + motivation you desire.
The 4 Work Modes (Use These No Matter What Phase You’re In)
🩸 RESTORE (Menstrual) → CEO VISION MODE
Best for: monthly planning, reviewing numbers, journaling and reflection, strategy and “big picture” thinking - this is when your brain can fire between each hemisphere the fastest, perfect for big decision making!
If you feel restless or emotional during this phase, don’t dismiss it — your body may be asking for change, listen to it and honour your needs.

Movement Sync (So Training Supports Your Hormones)
And if your work demands you perform “out of phase,” you can — you’re resilient — but try to offset it with self-care in your healing toolbox. That’s what the ritual is for. I shared my personal healing toolbox here.
Perimenopause & Menopause Work + Workout Notes
In peri/meno, your body often responds better to:
- strength training + recovery
- walking and low-impact conditioning
- stress-smart cardio (not punishment workouts)
- earlier nights + lower evening stimulation
You can still do anything — but the cost is different. We optimise so your success doesn’t require burnout. Doing more doesn't mean you get better results.
