410: Align Your Goal-Setting with Your Menstrual Cycle // April Davis of Haus of Vagina

410: Align Your Goal-Setting with Your Menstrual Cycle // April Davis of Haus of Vagina

Author: Cloud10 January 6, 2025 Duration: 38:24
As we dive into the season of goal-setting and resolutions, I want to start with an episode focused on honoring and understanding our female bodies and how that relates to goal-setting. Because guess what? As women, we are physiologically unable to have the same level of energy and motivation every single day of the month due to our menstrual cycles, and that TRUTH should absolutely change the way that we set goals. We will not be exactly consistent with goals because our bodies are not exactly consistent, and that is okay! In this episode, April Davis of Haus of Vagina educates us on our menstrual cycles and how to align our goals with our cycles, including: 1. The four phases of the menstrual cycle. 2. What to expect from ourselves during each phase. 3. Strategies for aligning our goals and ambitions with our cycle. Tune into the episode to learn more!  I’ve also designed a FREE worksheet that recaps April’s awesome information. This is an incredible resource for you or any woman or girl in your life. I wish I had known this stuff decades ago!    For full show notes, as well as a summary of the takeaways, click here.  Take care of yourself, my friend, especially if you’re luteal! xo *** Announcements:  -Get my FREE worksheet to go along with this episode! -Please consider leaving a review for the podcast!
