Cycle Syncing Your Business
Mel: [00:00:00] Hello and welcome to today's episode. My name is Melissa Robbins. I have a special guest here. So I have Renee Feek, who is an occupational therapist, a breathwork facilitator, and a feminist feminine leadership coach. Now Renee helps women unlock the power of their cycles so that they can achieve their wildest dreams by aligning with their feminine energy and their strengths.
She's also an author of the book, Cycle Sync Your Business, how to leverage your menstrual cycle to more for more income and impact in your business. Thank you so much for joining me here today, Renee. Thanks
Renae: so much for having me. I'm thrilled to be here.
Mel: Now, this is very exciting. I did mention to you before that I've started doing more reading about this.
And every time I hear more about this, I'm fascinated by how it can work and how it can help women in the way that they run their business. So the way that they feel about what they're doing and hopefully remove some of that worry and stress about, getting things done in certain timeframes too.
Yeah.
Renae: It makes such a huge difference and yeah,
Mel: absolutely. And can you tell me a little bit about your background, your expertise, how did you dive into [00:01:00] this area?
Renae: Yeah. So probably about eight years ago, I was working at the children's hospital as an occupational therapist and I had, I just found out that I was pregnant with my third baby and then found out my husband had a brain tumor all in the same month.
And so we spent that next year, yeah, it was like crazy, spending that next year like navigating ER visits, surgery, hospital seizures, like all the thing in the midst of bringing a new baby into the family and really just got hit home with this idea of I don't want to be going away to work every single day when my kids were babies and they're little and they grow up so fast and we're never guaranteed tomorrow.
So I felt like so much of my life in that season was just focused on one day when they're back in school or one day when this happens or one day when things get easier. And I was always just focused so much on the one day in the future, and I realized we're never guaranteed that day. And if I want to enjoy my life I want to know that if something happened tomorrow, I gave it my all, I enjoyed [00:02:00] it today.
And I started in my own business at the time it was Netmark Marketing, went all in years into that, realized like I was trading the very things that I was trying to get. So working a nine to five plus building the side hustle, I was staying up late, working in the morning, squeezing in everything, every little crack and cranny of time, anywhere I could possibly do it and wasn't hitting the goals that I really had set for myself.
And I was feeling, so I was getting close to that place of burnout. Reached out to my mentor and said, I don't know what else to do. I need to hit these goals. This is where I'm at. This is what I'm doing. And she was like, business is just a numbers game. So if you're not hitting the numbers that you want, you just need to do more.
And I was like, there's no more to give. I have nothing left, there's no part of me. There's no other time. I can't do this. So I started trying to figure out like how to become more effective. I did like time management. Blocking, batching, read all the [00:03:00] habit books, like maybe it was my willpower.
Maybe it's consistency. Yeah. Everything I could possibly do. And still was like feeling like something wasn't working. Like I wasn't getting there. Like I was like, why? It must be something wrong with me. Like maybe there's something magical that all these other entrepreneurs have. That I just don't have, and that's why it's working for them and not for me.
And in that process, discovered how men and women are different and how our brains function differently. And so how we work is different and how we experience time is different. And so I went down this rabbit hole of diving into that. And it really was like such a game changer and a gateway that when I started sharing it with the clients that I had at the time, they were like, Oh my gosh, this is what we need to know more of.
Really shifted my business and really went all in that space.
Mel: So can you tell us a little, what is cycle syncing? Have I said that right? What is cycle syncing actually
Renae: mean? Yeah, so really it's looking at like how your body runs in a cycle [00:04:00] with your hormones and your menstrual cycle and how we match up the things that you do in your life to meet where your body's at.
So your brain and your hormones is Change literally everything about your body. So how your brain thinks, how it creates, how much energy you have, how much focus you have, everything. And it takes looking at can we zone in on that and figure out like where your body's naturally at and then match up your life with it.
And really we could match anything in your life, like what you eat, how you sleep, how you exercise, like how you work, literally everything can because. You are the one, it's like your operating system, right? Your hormones are the operating system that's back, operating in the background, impacting how you show up and how well you show up.
So when we know what that operating system is functioning at, what's the capacities at, that's how we can adjust what we're doing. So that we're meeting those demands instead of just constantly forcing ourselves to work in [00:05:00] opposition of it, or then burning out or feeling frustrated or getting overwhelmed or any of those types of things.
Mel: And I think that's where I was just going to say to you like about forcing it like that is where you do feel that like why is this not working for me because as you say like you're forcing against where you're naturally at that stage and so it's never going to be as effective if you are, trying to do the things at the wrong time, and so what are like the, is there three to four stages? What are the different stages that we go through?
Renae: Yeah, so men have testosterone, and it functions in a 24 hour rhythm, so they start really high in the morning and then waxes and wanes as the day goes on, and then they go to bed, they wake up the next morning with a fresh dose.
Women, , we have estrogen and progesterone, and so how they fluctuate throughout the month makes four distinct phases. So the front half of the month, your first phase is your menstrual phase, that's when all of your hormones are the lowest. So you're going to feel the most energetically trained, like you're not going to [00:06:00] feel like Physically, you're losing a lot of blood too, right?
So that blood loss is going to make you feel like you're losing iron and things, and you're just going to have less energy. So it's a really great time to focus in on like how you actually recharge yourself. What is it that your body needs? Like, how do you pull back and rest can be a really great time for setting goals and mapping out your vision, mapping out your plan for that next coming month, like really getting yourself solid and grounded before you That next phase, which is your follicular phase, Which is that when your estrogen starts to climb and when that estrogen kicks in it feels like Testosterone if we could feel it like if we could feel like the same testosterone But that like big momentum like let's get things going.
Let's get things moving. Let's get big projects going there's a lot of times where I'm like full of fire and you feel like confident and ready You're like I got this great vision. I get this great idea. I've got this great thing I'm gonna run with it and execute it and like just get it out there And so that's your [00:07:00] estrogen taking over.
I call it the accelerate phase for my clients because it's let's accelerate let's get things running. And then you reach the top of that estrogen curve. And that's right around the time your body's ovulating. So you're naturally the most magnetic, you're the most radiant, you're the most attractive, you communicate the most effectively, you're gonna be able, you're gonna like social hours, happy hours, like those types of things, you're gonna feel so much more relatable, like you're gonna want to be around other people.
Mel: I was just going to say that's a good time to like batch content and create things too, if you're actually showing up and being there and yeah if you can. Run it in that way. That's definitely one of the activities I would suggest to be in that state
Renae: yeah. So if you're recording social media content, this is probably, or watching YouTube content or whatever, like this is the phase where you're going to record it and you're going to be like, Man, that was good. That was so good and I only had to do a one take, like I didn't have to record it five bajillion times versus the next phase is when we get [00:08:00] into, when progesterone kicks in and progesterone feels very different.
Progesterone, if you've tried to record a video when you're on progesterone high, you are gonna feel like. Do I really look like I have those bags under my eyes? Do I really feel I look awful in this video and I stumbled over my words and that sucked? Like, why did I do that? So it's totally different.
But progesterone is definitely much more moody. It's much more introverted. Whereas estrogen, it's extroverted, put yourself out in the world, create big things, get big movement. Progesterone's can we just come back and curl up in a ball? Take care of ourselves, be with ourselves.
And so it can be very productive if you're writing any sort of copy, whether it's on sales pages, or, social media captions, or any of that type of stuff, it can get really juicy content in there, because you're feeling really emotional, and so you're going to write with a little bit more, Motion in there and like connection also is really great for like organization [00:09:00] and detail oriented stuff and all of those types of tasks.
So it can be very productive. It just can feel like a snowball of emotion and overwhelm and frustration. Like a lot of women get really hung up on this phase because. They feel that, those feels so deeply, and they're like why am I getting so angry about the kids leaving the socks on the floor when a week ago I felt totally fine, and now I'm like a raging lunatic and I feel like the world's worst parent and the world's worst business owner, like everything's crumbling, I'm just gonna burn it all to the ground.
If you start paying attention.
Mel: Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. If you're not paying attention, it's amazing how long you'll have your mental cycle for and still you just forget that is where you're at. If you're not actually tracking or not actually syncing, you just forget and then, you tip into the next page.
You're like, Oh, that's what that was. And it all comes back to you that.
Renae: Yeah, totally. If you're like feeling you're like, why am I losing my ish right now? What is going on? And you're like, Oh, blue deal face. Got it. Mental note. Yeah. Totally. [00:10:00] It just gives you so much more permission to take a break and give yourself so much more grace.
And then also when you know it and you start leaning into it, they can't get less drastic. It gets less extreme because you're starting to pay attention to it. Yeah.
Mel: And as you say, like you are not forcing or pushing against it as much. And so it becomes a little bit easier because you're working on the right things at the right time in your business.
So it doesn't feel as hard as well. It's almost cause I talk to clients about, they've got to allow a certain amount of time in their week or their. day to do different things in their business, whether it's, working on the business or they're making their products or working on their content.
But it's almost from what you say in here as well, that you it's almost should be about a month cycle and that you
Renae: should be,
Mel: Batching your different activities in the month as opposed to the, as opposed to just doing it throughout one week. Yes,
Renae: a hundred percent. So there's things that in our business that we probably [00:11:00] do have to do on a more consistent basis.
There are things that, we couldn't just talk to our clients and then ghost them for a month and then come back a month later and be like, Hey. Yeah. So there are pieces of our business that are going to need us to be there and to be a part of it. But how intensely that we do that or where we go all in certain areas.
So for instance, like with me. I do a lot of social media stuff and like interacting with people on social media. And I will go in and like batch, clean up, make sure did I message everybody? Did I get back to everybody? Did I connect with everybody? Did I follow through on all those connections and conversations that I was having?
But I'll usually do that like on a monthly basis. I won't do that all the time, every single day. Like I'm in my messages and I'm talking. Day to day, but making sure that I've like really tied up my loose ends. I do that once a month. I just hired a new person to help. Yeah.
Mel: That
Renae: one.[00:12:00]
Oftentimes I like to do that kind of like in the, in between. So like off the high of that estrogen of your connect phase, but going into the progesterone phase, the luteal phase, because you're going to have a little bit of that I just want to be behind the computer and mapping it, batching out a bunch of messages.
But you still have that connection. Like you still want to relate to people. So it's like an in between spot. The same with I just hired a new pot YouTube person. I was like, I want to record some YouTube content and I want to have somebody edit the videos and put it out there. So I gave her a couple of videos and then she wrapped them all up and finished them all.
And she's okay, they're all done. And I was like, okay, I'll see you in a month. I'll get you new videos in a month. Like I'm not recording for a month, and so just looking at like those things, like how you can batch, what can you batch and what can you compartmentalize together where you're best suited and what things aren't going to work.
Like I know as a mom, as a parent, like I can't tell my kids I'm not making them food for a week. We have to feed them, so [00:13:00] there's parts of our life that are not going to always match up. And it's less about how do I match everything up with my cycle and more about like, how can I shift the small things and what can I shift those micro shifts that are going to have a massive impact exercise is probably a huge one.
When you change the way you're exercising.
Mel: Yeah. What type of exercise, whether it's the high intensity, whether it's more like gentle yoga, like doing the different things in different states. Yes.
Renae: And that makes a huge difference, right? Cause if your body's already feeling depleted and exhausted and low on energy.
And then you force it to do this really heavy workout. All you're doing is just continuing to deplete those stores versus we're in this like high impact, like high energy phase. Let's go all in on our workouts. Let's go hard. Let's crush it. And then those ones when we need to pull back a little bit.
Yeah. Go for a walk, go do some yoga, do some Pilates, do some other things that are less intense, but still moving your body, still getting those strength benefits and [00:14:00] things like that. So that will have massive impacts on just how you feel throughout the day and how you show up every single day, for sure.
Mel: Absolutely. And what are some common mistakes that people make or, what are some misconceptions people have about it?
Renae: Okay, I think the biggest mistake that I would see is that women will go to Pinterest or they'll go to Google and they'll download like a cycle syncing graphic and they'll just try to match that up and say this is where I'm at, this is where I need to be.
Same kind of ideas like downloading one of the apps that tells you like, hey, you're on day eight, this is what you should be feeling. The reason I think this is because one of the most powerful things about learning about your cycle is that it's helping you tune back into your body, right?
Like cycle syncing has less to do with like, how do I just. Use another masculine strategy and put it on my schedule, but it's like, how can we tap back into that feminine? And the feminine is so much about listening and so much about feeling and so much about [00:15:00] intuition. And the way that we get there is by really tuning in and listening to your body.
Cause I can guarantee you, if you and I sat down, like our businesses would look different. Our lives would look different. Our relationships would look different. Our bodies would be different. Like everything would be different between the two of us. There's not going to be a one size fits all strategy, even when it comes to cycle syncing, because it really is about tuning in.
And that's like the deeper layer of what I help my clients do is like really learn to listen to themselves, learn to listen to their intuition, really learn how to trust themselves and then operate from that place. And I think in a world where most of society is telling you how to eat, how to sleep, how to wake up, how to like all of the things.
It's really hard. And so that takes some time to really tune in and listen to that. So I think that's one of the biggest mistakes I see is like women will do it and they'll say Oh, it didn't work for me, or I didn't like it, or I did it a little [00:16:00] bit, but I didn't really, but they're missing out on that deeper piece of really just being able to trust themselves and learn to listen and know what their body needs and know what they need to adjust.
Thanks. A lot of times I see women. That gets stuck, like when life doesn't go the way we want it to, right? When you say, Hey, this is where my cycle's at. And you put it on your calendar and you plan a big product launch, or you plan a big promotion, or you plan something and then, Oh no, the period shows up right in the middle.
And you're like, that's not ideal. That's not what I wanted. And life is going to happen like that. And how do you adjust and accommodate with that? That's where the power of really learning to listen to your body and knowing what you need comes in. Because if you're just going by the straight up schedule, when those things come at you, you're not going to have the flexibility or the adaptability to adjust.
Mel: Yeah. And as you say, like every one is different and every, almost cycle for each person is different. [00:17:00] Yes. And no one has a, not many people have that exact regular cycle of, so 28 days and it's seven days in each site, each stage or whatever it might be. So everyone's different in that as well.
Yes.
Renae: Yeah. And I think that's one of the beautiful things, right?
Mel: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And what about as you're starting to go through perimenopause or menopause, like, how does that change things as well?
Renae: For sure. One of these things if we start just looking at the way the world operates the world operates so much in cycles, right?
We have spring and summer. You're down, you're in Australia, right? I don't know if you get seasons. I'm in San Diego. We don't really get seasons. I talk about seasons. In Melbourne we get them all in one
Mel: day, so it's all fine. But
Renae: yeah. That's we're the same. We don't get many seasons here in San Diego.
However, most of the world operates in seasons. Where we have spring and summer and winter, fall, we have the seasons of the moon and seasons of the, or like the rhythms of the moon, we [00:18:00] have the sun that circulates, like we have rhythms in our stock market and in our politics and like the economy, right?
There's so many things, if we looked at the world, like our world thrives on cycles and rhythms. So whether or not you're using a menstrual cycle. Chances are you still operate within a cycle, and when we characteristically look at men and women best operate in that monthly cycle. And so for a lot of the women that are in that perimenopause or menopausal state, when it's not necessarily the menstruation that we're looking at, We still want to help the body to stay in that cyclical pattern.
And so I generally recommend using the moon as that external guide of saying okay, here's how I'm going to just still live into that same cycle that I would have had, had I had a period, but I'm just going to do it with the cycle of the moon. And. Ensure that I'm still living into that rhythm.
Now, one of the other things I think is really powerful with this is that our body is so smart, right? [00:19:00] Like it, it tries to adapt to whatever we're giving it, whatever we're doing with it, most of the time we're using very masculine strategies. So it's trying to keep up. And, but if we looked at if you are somebody who likes to wake up at eight o'clock in the morning, and now all of a sudden you want to wake up at five, because you're like, I can get so much more done at five o'clock in the morning.
And so you start setting your alarm at five. I just did this recently. I'm like, five o'clock, five o'clock, like the first few weeks, I'm like, I don't want to get up. I'm like hitting snooze. Yeah. But a couple weeks into it, a month into it, a couple months into it, your body resets that circadian rhythm.
And so now it's starting to wake up at that five o'clock time before my alarm even goes off some mornings, right? Some mornings it's still a little snooze and let's stay in bed for a little bit, but for the most part. My body is okay, we've reset now. This is our new wake up time. And so it's the same way when we look at our cycles and how we live into it, if you create that pattern for your body will tune into it and it'll be like, Oh, breathe.
[00:20:00] This is where, this is the way we were designed to operate. I think it can be really powerful to look at even beyond menstruation of what are those rhythms and what are those cycles that maybe one already exists within your life? And then two, how could you create those for yourself so that it helps your body stay within that rhythm?
Mel: Ah, I love that. And it's really about, figuring out where you're at in your stage of life, another thing I just thought of as well, because I know a lot of my friends are using different contraception. So what about things like the Mirena or something like that as well?
How does that impact the hormones in your body? For
Renae: sure. It depends on what you're using, but most of them, it is going to eliminate that ovulation curve. Thanks. So that peak, when you feel like that, your height and you feel amazing and wonderful, it squashes that. So you won't ever get that. So you tend to operate a little bit more like men in the way your hormones are functioning with them all a little bit flattened when you are on some sort of hormonal birth control.
It definitely [00:21:00] changes. The pattern and the feeling I've had women who have still continued to use like the same, like their moon cycle to continue to live into that rhythm, but it does feel different. It's not going to feel the same. And so I do know a lot of actually women who have started getting into the space and getting into the world that have started getting off of the birth control, like pills and the marinas and things like that and started to notice.
And when you become really in tune with your body, like how to be protective without actually having to take birth control, but also it just changes the lens on how people are viewing their bodies, but it does make it different, so it's not the same when you're using your cycle.
Yeah. When you're on a hormonal birth control, it does eliminate those, that peak for you.
Mel: And also I did notice this and you, I think you have noticed it because I did see it on your Instagram as well. The conversations about this is maybe it's Gen Z. I don't know if it's the younger group coming through.
I saw a [00:22:00] Tik Tok of a guy, he was like, someone said that they luteal phase and there's just, someone else did it all. Story on what that meant. And he was totally confused, but I love that the conversation is going there. Did you have seen that, right? I'm sure that I saw that on yours.
Renae: Totally. Yeah, totally. There it's a gamut of them, right? Like sometimes it's actually a platform specific. So when my ads run, when they run to Facebook, I tend to get a lot more shame, spamming, not spamming, but criticism of the methodology, right? If women, yes. And that if women wanted to work differently, they should not be advocating for, the same rights and this and that, and just this like equality conversation.
And so it's it takes a different, definitely a different toll when we start to talk about it there. And Instagram and TikTok, it does tend to fall a lot more in this curiosity of Oh, this is interesting. And I didn't know this and [00:23:00] I see, I have a 13 year old and I watch the conversations that she has with her friends.
It's like completely different than when I was a kid, like I was not having those conversations with my friends, so I do think that it's coming out that I think the next generation will change and it'll be a totally different environment for them, which is amazing. I think it's just also important for us to recognize that research just hasn't been done on women.
It's not necessary our generation is really the first generation that is actually having some of this knowledge come to the forefront. It wasn't until the 80s that women were actually recommended to be included in medical studies. The 80s. So from the eighties forward, I know it's I don't know about in Australia, but the United States, like it was not recommend or wasn't really promoting women being included in medical studies.
And a lot of the women, it was included in those earlier studies. They had to be on birth control in order to participate in the study. So we just talked about that, like [00:24:00] eliminates all of that normal hormonal change that happens inside of our bodies. And when we look at that, it's like, all of the information that we have about the MRI studies that are showing how the different parts of the brain are active at different times of the cycle, all of the information that we have coming forward, it's really been only done in the last couple of decades, and so I think that knowledge and that increase in research and information will definitely change the next generation coming forward.
Mel: Yeah, absolutely. And as we said, like even just like the information and awareness and conversation around perimenopause and menopause, like that is just, I'm in that stage so that, so for me, I know that, huge awareness of it way more.
Renae: Yeah. And we've just, I think scratched the surface in terms of women's health research.
I think it's going to explode, I think, in the next. Yeah.
Mel: Yeah. And as we said, like that new generation coming through to the conversations taking place. Even I have a son who's 16 [00:25:00] and and I have a daughter who's nine, who is 19. So for me, I'm like, I have conversations all the time and talk about it.
It because I'm like, he needs to be as well aware as anyone else. Like you can't just, not talk about it with your son or something. So I'm like, no, he needs to be aware so that he's going to be a more informed partner or, boyfriend or something, whatever. Later on, he knows more information about it too.
And what the impact it can have.
Renae: For sure. And I think that's part of it. It just eliminating that stigma from the very get go so that it's not a big thing. Like why is it even taboo to talk about?
Mel: Exactly. Yeah.
Renae: So in promoting my book, right? That was, we were talking about, I actually got an ad advertisement like solicitation from Amazon.
And so I was like, okay, cool. I'm going to advertise my book on Amazon with Amazon ads. Never done it before. Going to try it out. So I went through and I, they gave me like a hundred dollar credit to test it out. So I like was testing it out, put it all in there, submitted my ad. My ad got rejected saying [00:26:00] that I was talking about embarrassing bodily functions and something else.
I can't remember. It was like predominantly they rejected it because I was talking about an embarrassing bodily function. And I'm like, this is the problem. Like this is the problem. Like it doesn't need to be embarrassing. Who's coining it as embarrassing. We don't have to the meaning that we've placed on that is the meaning that's been placed on it.
Let's put a different meaning on it,
Mel: absolutely. And so tell me a little bit more about your book, like what is what's included, like what's the things you talk about in there?
Renae: Yeah, so I go everything that we've talked about today and so much more in depth talking about like the hustle culture and like how the hustle culture is really burning women out and how there's a different way of working and how that they can really tune in and listen to their bodies.
There's a chapter on each of the different phases. So what I like scratched today in just a couple of seconds, we go deeper into each one knowing like exactly what you should be doing, how you should be showing up. What, how to arrange your business based around [00:27:00] it. We go into that flexibility and what do you do when things don't go the way you want them to?
Like, how do we adapt to that? Like, how do we adjust all of those types of things to really help you be able to create a business that. Creates more income and creates more impact, but yet doesn't require you to be working quite as much because when you are working in alignment with this, you're going to get things done faster and easier.
Like those times you sit down to write and you're like in flow and it just goes and you're like do. Versus those other times you sit down and it's I can't write. I've tried this 5 bajillion times. I've been staring at this blank cursor. Like it's not working. So essentially it's not coming.
We take all of that and we just flip flop it. So like recording your social media, instead of getting, one done in seven hours, you're doing like seven in an hour, like we're just, we're condensing and consolidating. So that you operate at your peak and your perform, like your highest all the time and can take those breaks when you need to.[00:28:00]
Mel: Love that. That's so exciting. And as I'm going to release a podcast, it's going to be, the book is going to be out. So I'll put the link in the show notes and I'm super excited for people to be able to, yeah, just dive into it more. And as you say, Because it helps with that. You went through that whole process of time management and efficiency, and this is going to really help with that because I know that is definitely something a lot of my clients and customers go through and, trying to manage that overwhelm.
So I can't wait for them to dive into this and see how it can help them.
Renae: For sure.
Mel: So Renee, how, what are some of the ways that people can work with you? Totally.
Renae: So the book is a great place to start, which is just CycleSyncYourBusiness. com, like that's a great place. I also have two other programs that really are geared towards helping women go deeper with this.
So Your Cycle Advantage is my program that is geared towards like really looking at your productivity and your time management and how you actually step into this place of learning and your cycle and understanding it and that language of your cycle. And then I have the Flow Collective, which is my mastermind that's really geared towards like, how do we actually take that and [00:29:00] amplify your business and really help you step into that place of a feminine leader, because I really a hundred percent believe that women who take this on are changemakers.
They're leading the path. They're, we're making massive changes in the world. And so embodying that sense of leadership in a uniquely feminine way, I think is incredibly powerful.
.
Mel: And I'm super excited to share that with everyone and I'll put all the links in the show notes for people to be able to access those. So thank you once again.
Renae: Thanks so
