Ability into fruition and serving so many so she has taken something that is taboo and not only served people in spite of the taboo but has made it into a school and an obvious choice for businesses and coaches to move forward with so welcome and can you tell us a
Little bit about that Journey what is it like to bring something that people try not even to talk about in the bathroom to something that is part of everybody’s daily life and how they run their business how do you do that yeah it’s a good question one of my
Long form bio sentences is taking Whispers from the bathroom into public powerful discussions and it’s been sort of a a mantra as I’ve moved through business yeah so I’m known as the period coach I started off over 10 years years ago working in menstration hormonal balance PMS pmdd endometriosis all those
Things because I had endometriosis and I spent a good 20 years on the floor of my bathroom begging for Sweet Sweet Death because it was so painful and it was every month and it was like you know being 20 knowing that there were 30 more years of this hell to go through and
Thinking like I don’t think I can do it like I just don’t think I have I I just don’t think I can like I don’t think I physically can make it through all of this I am going to die on the floor of my bathroom in horrific pain because I
Just I can’t do anything else so I you know I went to the doctors there was nothing that they could do there’s still nothing that they really can do but at least now they acknowledge it exists but at the time they didn’t really it is is just like a painful period like I’m
Passing out because I’m in so much pain in high school and not FR my locker and just down that just that doesn’t seem normal right so anyway I have to say listen to that voice in inside your head that says this isn’t normal this is not
How it should be there is a def definitely there is a better way definitely there has to be an answer it took me 20 years but that little voice in the back of my head never went away and I agreed I was like yeah no there’s
No way there this just can’t be how this just no I just don’t believe you when you tell me this is just how it is like I just don’t believe it so yeah so that really set me on a path of just sort of
Figuring it out on my own I did a lot of reading I did a lot of like Chinese Eastern medicine learning atic learning and eventually I realized if I am going to keep a roof over my head I need to figure out a way to make money that’s
Not dependent on employers because it turns out they don’t like it if you’re throwing up in their bathroom every month for a couple of days and they’re they’re just not fans so I kind of had to figure it out out and that’s where I went back to school for coaching because
I thought you know what I can work from home I can take the week that I have my period before and the week few days of my period off and then I can just work really hard the other three weeks very masculine bro productivity mindset for 10 years ago right like hustle culture
Caffeine Vibes like do a line of blow and keep going another way I don’t know was like everything that you were seeing was like Money Ball and wall Street wolf and like was just like real hustle do whatever you have to do and I was I
Don’t I’m not going to do that but I will work all the time so I did that and it turns out that also is not very good for you so I figured things out through diet and then I started working for myself and I started working crazy hours
And then it was I was back to pain puddle on the floor of my bathroom and this doesn’t work either and that’s where I really need to work with my cycle I need to figure out how it works what I’m good at when and really hone in
On doing what I can at the best time to do it and doing it then rather than following any other typical structure because it’s built by men for men and we just have a different hormonal cycle so yeah so that sort of Switched things up and I went from coaching athletes as I
Was an athlete to coaching all my athletes had period problems and it turns out way easier to fix an endometriosis like that it’s a unique period problem so I was like oh I like let me just do that like if I could help another woman not go through the pain
And suffering I went through I will feel like my time on this Earth was worthwhile so that’s where the vision started it was like if I can help other women avoid period problems then this will not have been for not like all of this pain and suffering will not be for
Nothing yeah so that’s where that Vision started and then it just really grew over the years and I saw such a high demand how much it made a difference and then I started working with clients that didn’t even have period problems they just wanted to run their business more
Effectively and that’s when I was like oh my God this works just across the board like you don’t even have to have a problematic period to get an enormous benefit from learning your cycle and so that kind of blew my mind a bit and expanded the vision even more and then I
Just sort of realized you know we’ve got Health coaching we’ve got business coaching certification we’ve got life coaching certification relationship coaching certification but there’s nothing around menstration so 20120 I launched period coaching school and do actual certifications for people for period menstrual cycle coaching and whatever they want to call themselves down the
Line bmdd coach business coach for women whatever it doesn’t matter but getting that certification in there and taking it to the next step and and got the school internationally certified as well so the vision just keep keeps growing and expanding and building from basically just a giant glaring gaping hole in our
Education well and that’s the thing I think people assume and I’ve heard this several times over the course of the last couple weeks even is this idea that you can’t have a business and have a life like this kind of idea that it’s just another version of obsession and
It’s just another version of working too hard can we tell the people like what it looks like to have this much influence and amazing service and be like what does that look like when we have a clear understanding of our cycle yeah I mean I was that person when I started my
Business I was like I statistically takes three years to make a profit so Al was really hard for three years and then I’ll take a day off you know it’s so funny that was my plan obviously that’s not how that worked out no when I started realizing
That each that the hormones affect what you’re good at and that verbal skills and estrogen and visual skills and progestrone and these just like little nuances that sort of started to come out sometimes from research that had been done but sometimes just from working with clients and seeing what worked
Because it’s not like there’s a lot of research on periods in menstrual cycles at all let alone anything about them so yeah I really experimented on clients a lot but yeah it worked over and over and over again and I saw them reducing work hours I saw myself reducing work hours I
Saw my actual productivity going up too so what ended up happening is I was working crazy hours like far more than 40 hours a week and then I started doing things with my cycle and started figuring things out and I saw my hours going down but my output going up so it
Went from I can write a newsletter and maybe do one event every quarter like a webinar or something every three months or something like that but I need time to prepare and get everything together and to be fair a long time ago it was also much harder to do the tech work for
Those kinds of things behind the scenes but over time it was just like oh wait no this is really easy if I just do this in this phase I can knock this out in an hour and if I just do this in this phase like I can build a funnel now from
Beginning to end in two hours it it just is a matter of saying yes a I have practice now so the tech is much easier for me but B just going right but if I listen to my cycle and I spend that time in menstrual visioning and listening and
Receiving and hearing and getting rid of the junk right decluttering quite literally physically but also mentally but decluttering the business as well what’s good what’s working what’s not and honing in on what we could do next what people want what seems to be coming up and then going okay well we can make
A a freebie for that in no time so let’s put that together so it really became this thing where I was like okay well in follicular in ovulation when my text skills are highest and my verbal skills are highest when my ability to think things through quickly and effective
Effectively is Peak then I can put together a nice freebie funnel in half a day’s work and so the last two years so not this year but the two previous years I I’ve been tracking my hours meticulously and I am this year too but I just don’t have the results because
We’re not done yet but the previous two years I averaged 22 hours a week and I did a Kickstarter which brought in over $10,000 both years I did a summit with your beautiful face and other amazing uh speakers I did period coaching school where we go through together for about a
Year I did webinars I wrote a book it’s I we created the year before we made a whole deck of cards for period cycle stuff I I look at how much I get done in a year and then I look at my hours and it’s insane how how little time it takes to
Get all that done while working and seeing clients and all those things so yeah it was just it blew my mind to realize I was basically doing more than what most people do but even so like let’s just say a normal business but in half the time and that was when I went
Oh yeah this is really this works this works really well I mean and that’s what I always so I wish people I could just wish you could just like deposit that understanding into people because we’re so raised in the other perspective well I’m going to have to work hard at some
Level right but the reality is that if you’re working smarter with our cycle then we don’t have like kind of the backlash of not working with our cycle we don’t have all of these negative things that are pulling from us and then we are at our superpower during the time that we are
Doing it and it looks completely different and it feels energizing even right because it’s not like you’re depleting your resources you’re working with them and then they exponentially give to whatever is next so you also have more time and energy to make a healthy meal you have more time and
Energy to sit down and really have a clear mind when you meditate you have like it’s a lot it’s just exponentially a giving huge it’s huge and every time and I’m not going to say that I don’t have moments where I’m like okay well that just means that you have more time
That you could be getting more done right there are definitely days where I go it’s usually that deep ludal phase that’s you’re not doing enough and if you’re only working 22 hours a week that means that there’s 18 hours you could be working and that you’re not doing and
That little brain goes through but then I go yeah but I have really Pleasant periods now I can lay in bed and relax I’m not in pain it’s not bad it’s not suffering it’s actually quite chill and re relaxed and enjoyable and I don’t work 22 hours a week I kind of don’t
Work in that deep ludal menstrual phase and then I show up for more hours in follicular and ovulation when I’m feeling good and strong and excited about working so it’s not like it’s you know a daily structure in that way it’s definitely a monthly structure where it
Work three weeks out of every four more or less in that way so it was just like yeah but if I was going to fill that Gap it would have to be filling that Gap around deep ludal and menstrual when I have high levels of inflammation endometriosis is flaring and then I’m
Just going to end up back on the floor of my bathroom so why why would I hurt myself in in order to satisfy some societal capitalist patriarchal hustle bro culture thing it’s just because it’s what you hear all the time so it’s hard to it’s hard to
Separate that out in your brain and and your life but it it still happens I don’t want to pretend like it’s I don’t have those thoughts but I have those thoughts and I come around to that’s not me that’s society that wants me to stick in pain and and pushing beyond my
Boundaries because it’s beneficial to them in reality what’s beneficial for me is to be taken care of myself properly to make the healthy meals that actually reduce the inflammation to take the rest time that reduces the pain the all those things are are far more important than producing more just dis satisfying some
Kind of hustle culture grow Vibe out there exactly exactly yeah if we could get rid of all the thoughts that would be great but they happen and it’s part of it it’s part of it and knowing uh but also knowing that’s one of the things that I the first things that uh affected
Me when I started working with my information that I got from the period School period coaching school and it it it really did start quieting some of those you should be doing better you should be working harder you should be farther you should be like all these should but mostly that one especially
Deal of what are you doing with your life of like you should just be flogged until you get everything done that maybe that would help you like this kind of self flatulation that was you should always be productive it should always be at 110% because it’s possible so you should
Right like and it really did it helped me to just relax a little bit it does it’s often me basically having a little fight in my own brain going well you should be doing more like you shouldn’t be resting right now rest is for the week and the other half of my brain
Going oh shut the up no that is nonsense that’s not you that’s not healthy that’s not good for you mentally emotionally physically anything that’s just F culture nonsense talking no so there’s definitely that back and forth conversation to my M it’s do over the years but that’s I mean but that’s the
Perk of knowing your cycle is going I know what these thoughts are these are just reduction in testosterone and estrogen and progesterone that are coming forward in this monkey mind like I don’t want to you know it really like comes into your base like maslo hierarchy kind of fears and it’s just
Going oh no I’m just I’m in that phase of the cycle that my poor little brain has lost those hormones and it’s freaking out and so it’s attacking me in the only way it knows how and and in another couple days it’s going to be
Gone so I’m GNA just ignore you for a couple of days and then it’ll be fine and and that sort of has helped because it’s like I know it’s a cycle I know that this is not forever I know this desire to burn it all down will go away
I know that this self flatulation and feeling like a failure will flow out just as it flowed in and we’ll move through it and then over the years it reduces and it’s a lot quicker process of I should be oh no I shouldn’t no no we’re not ourselves
Today yeah and it’s much quicker process let’s talk about the amount of support it takes to app this month with a lot of these things applied I had more energy than I’ve had since I was like literally I don’t even know if I had that much
Energy when I was I there were days where I just what’s that let do let me do this let me do this and just ideas coming and executed and all of this energy that just just wasn’t available before but let’s talk about I it took
Some time for to be that exciting of a of a turnaround right yeah I mean I have to say like instant results you pop into follicular you pop into ovulation and you just jam out and really one of those things that takes time is learning to
Finesse that right to really phone it to have a nice Clear Vision and move forward in that Vision space and not get to shiny object syndrome or distracted and those kinds of things yeah and knowing what support you need and knowing who where you want to go for
That kind of support that’s really those longer term takes a little bit more time to get into but but when you know your vision and you’re ready to voice it so to speak it is time to really those phases and that’s where you can really see the
Immediate results so when you sit down a follicular and ovulation and you go okay I am at Peak verbal skills I am at Peak extroverted I am really out and ready to connect then you do it you see all these amazing results quite quickly and on the
Flip side of that coin is that when you do move into that later ludal phase you’ve got a lot of stuff done so there is more freedom to rest and relaxed in that phase because you were like I knocked out my whole to-do list and ovulation and around there so like I can
Actually release if I need to and then move forward so it yeah if you want really to see something in action tap in in folicular ovulation even early ludal when your estrogen rises again and knock out those writing tasks those recording tasks those uh conversations sales calls relationship building affiliate calls
Joint venture potential calls really do that kind of networking stuff um interviews batching things in those phases and then you’ll see just how quickly you’re getting things done effectively and efficiently and then you actually have a lot more space in that later phase to do well I honestly
Consider the most important part of your business which is the visioning work it is the evaluation it is the reflecting and the reviewing and making sure that your vision is an alignment that your marketing is in alignment with your vision that your sales calls are in alignment with your vision that you’re
That you really are on that track to bring your vision into reality because frankly you can do busy work all day every day that does absolutely nothing to move the me needle on your business forward if you know what you’re trying to do if you know the vision that you
Want want to create then you really can use those phases to get so much done and you will see the needle on your business moving forward you’ll see the email list growing or the interviews happening more often or the consistency in your content creation those kinds of markers will
Really start to be there and then you can you’ll really see quite clearly how well it works for me it’s also having the map of what are we looking into what is vital at this moment and not just assuming that busy is going to do it and and I
Feel like that’s another thing that keeps coming up is that oh I’m busy I don’t have time to learn something else to do something new to all of that kind of thing and it’s like well business is not proof of execution like you you really if you’re busy then that’s
Actually not a good sign and uh you don’t become less busy by saying busy that’s other thing that I wish again I could just deposit into people so that you could like listen this is like not a successful cycle you’re in like being more busy isn’t G to keep you from being
Busy and so it’s one of those things like okay we have to either we have to change the Paradigm we have to change like what are parameters what are we working with and that’s why Cycles is like the answer to all that for me right
Yeah oh 100% I’m very fond of saying if you’re answering the question of like how are you with I’m busy then you’re not doing it right like it’s not there’s busy Seasons some you could do a launch and you’re welcoming people and you’re feeling busy and connecting with students and helping
People but it really busy should not there’s no busy badge of honor you don’t get like a a little badge to wear because you’re if you got a bonus for it then it then it would make sense yeah time you need to be a human being like
We’re not on the earth so that we can just work all the time that can’t be the meaning of life so if the meaning of life is not your job even if it’s a job that you love and hold dearly like I love my work I truly believe that’s what
I’m on the planet to do but that’s not my reason for existing either like I don’t have to create something that makes me worth existing just simply being born means you have value and you deserve to exist and live well right so having Hobbies having things outside
Yourself trying new things we moved into a new property we have an acorn tree that’s just pouring down acorns I have never in my life attempted to gather acorns and shell them and and process them and make things out of them that I’m going to try that this year we’re in
The shelling process in the living room right now there’s an assembly line full of in our living room where Chris and I are just peeling and shelling and everything because it’s fun because we have this tree and we have all of this acorns and we thought why not try enjoying the
Abundance of our land of our property that’s that for me is fun and interesting and it’s got nothing to do with my business but it’s it’s you know it’s getting close with nature it’s getting into the land it’s learning about what I live and what makes what
Exists here and that that feels so much more fulfilling than just sitting down to work every single day all day long 247 whenever we’re giving ourselves the freedom of being then that is is really what is satisfying about life and it is it brings so much joy and again it just
Adds to everything else like yeah we’re doing the business thing I’m being official and then I get to play with Awards right so it just makes your whole day better when you have those pockets of freedom and and just enjoying life right yeah 100% absolutely oh my gosh I want to get
Into a little bit of what is available if you are smart enough to connect up with Sasha because there’s this plethora of Brilliance and application and wisdom body wisdom that’s in your program but if you’re not ready for the full program you can always get started she has so
Many amazing offerings today we’re going to talk about uh sales and flow which I think a lot of people may not believe quite that that’s a possibility but we know better Sasha tell them yeah well so when we were talking about what give what like freebie to offer for everybody I was
Like oh God there’s so many they’re so good but at the end of the day I’ve realized how much of an impact it is when businesses that have heart when women when minorities when people who don’t have other avenues necessarily to make a decent income can make a decent
Income and so that’s where I settled on sales because if we can get you making more money then the world will improve right it’s just like simple logic we know for fact that when women are given money they do things that promote the community the children live longer and
Healthier like the statistics are out there uh so and we also know that in our current culture that most of the times the people who are making the money come from money so how do you start to make money if you don’t have like you know
Dad to invest a couple Mill into your first business or whatever right so I thought like sales I think would make the biggest change in the world if we got all these heart-c centered businesses have amazing beautiful Visions for improving the world and the planet and other people making more
Money so then the next question is but I don’t want to be a sleazy salesperson right I want to I don’t want to like hold like I always say I don’t take hostages like my sales philosophy is not to traumatize you with fear until you
Sign up for a program and then regret it because you’re in a trauma State um my goal is to have people who really want to be there and are stoked to be there so I started thinking about how do we do sales with the cycle right so I looked
At my own numbers I looked at statistics I looked at my friends and talked to them about other period coaches and what they do and those kinds of things and kind to realize that there’s a couple different ways you can approach sales but one of the best ways is to just
Simply take a look at your cycle and go okay well first off if I want to do sales I should do them when my verbal skills and my confidence is highest and that conversion rate will go up so every person that you talk to it will be more
Enrolling if you are at your confidence peak if you are using those verbal skills to your advantage to have these conversations right and we also know that having sales calls when you’re not feeling as well when you’re not as excited when you’re not confident as you were can tank those
Conversion rates so now you have a client that probably would have signed up if you just had this call in different phase of your cycle that you’ve lost so it’s like rather than doing that and we also know that if you just have like open availability all of the time there is
Just that psychologic psychological factor that some people will see that as you don’t have a busy schedule so you’re probably not good at what you do so there’s a little bit of Truth in you don’t want to make yourself constantly available 20 247 but there’s also the truth that you shouldn’t be making
Yourself available 24/7 because it’s just not good for you it’s not good for your hormonal balance it’s not good for your cycle and it’s not good for your conversion rate in your income so my first suggestion is to change your calendar around so that you available
When you are at your best and then you can have those conversations with people then and it’s perfectly fine you can do that it’s not going to affect your business negatively it will in fact just increase your business it will increase the sales the conversion rate it will be
Be better so then I made this freebie that has some videos that’s actually part of a paid program I have it’s a very it’s like under 50 bucks it’s a very cheap program money and flow but I pulled out the sales chunk of it and
Made it into its own freebie so you can get like a sneak peek of of money and flow and you can get some sales helped so you can start making some money and it will dive into the different parts of your cycle and how they can help you
Increase your conversion rates how they can help you increase your sales calls uh and how to show up so if somebody does accidentally jump in on a day that you’re like oh crap I forgot to my block my calendar you can still tap into the superpower of that phase and improve
This the odds that that person will convert okay oh my gosh it’s juicy absolutely I mean there’s so I mean you had so many amazing points of of just like where are we personally when we’re having those conversations but when we have this level of strategy and understanding of ourselves and when you
Are doing the work also so if you are doing my work of being with your voice and what is wanting to show up in a conversation or in your life then you can feel confident and confidence is just a result of being in a place that
You know well and that you are all it right and so anything else is just acting right so hyper it’s not confidence like this is not confidence right that’s just a hand gesture right but you but you can feel that and that will naturally be especially with our clients
Where they already have a sense if they if you feel it they’ll feel it so I love it I love it as you can tell we’re peas and a pod like you really should just put both of us like one in the left one in the right pocket [Laughter]
Absolutely I want to thank you so much for coming to visit us today stasha and is there anything else is there a last two cents about what does it mean to be a woman with a business and have freedom oh I love that question uh you know what actually you and I were
Talking earlier about this and I used use an example in every webinar I’ve done in the last couple of months and I think it TI all together nicely so let me see if I can do this so one I think as a woman in business having Biz buddies Biz bestie Joint part joint
Partners Venture Partners those kinds of things are really important right so I talked about this in a few of the freebies that I’ve done recently where you and I will actually sit down and go we’re doing Summits when are you doing yours when am I doing mine let’s make
Sure that they don’t overlap so that I can be on your and promote yours and you can be on mine and promote mine and then we can help each other out in that way and um and I I love having those relationships in my business that are
Just like no-brainers like I I’m sorry did I need to ask you I just already put you on the page that’s okay right like I have a handful of women that I just assume it’s going to be fine and I just already put them on the speaker
List for next year right like you’re one of those people that just automatically is on the speaker list for the next year so I really think that having those as a woman is really important but also it gives you freedom because you have those people that you can rely on you have
Those people that you don’t have to worry about you have those people that you can bounce ideas off ask questions of switch things up and say ask for feedback but you you need to have those supports those bis besties those people you can chat with that you can uh rely
On that you can ask to do things with that you can go here’s an idea what do you think and they go oh my God that’s brilliant or like I think it’s a good idea but I feel like you’re XYZ and maybe if you did you know L op it would
Be better right so like you have those people in your world and I that’s where you really end up having a lot of freedom as a woman in business because you have the support you don’t get stuck and bogged down you don’t end up stressed out in a mess and uh and it
Comes back to that structure as well like I love my menstrual cycle as a structure because when I do things eight days of a live Summit followed by three live webinars in two weeks I can just tune into my cycle and go what do I need
Today to make sure that I’m at my best and my cycle will tell me and it will tell me right where I am what needs to be done and how to do it so it really I know it’s like oh but other people and friends and that’s commitments and
Menstrual cycle and then I have to follow that thing and that all sounds restrictive but at the end of the day it’s actually the thing that helps you have a business that has the connections and the people and the profit to have the freedom that you want and that’s
Really where we it’s very much like that busy thing you got to flip it on your head being busy is not how you make money and embracing the as a structure is not the antithesis to Freedom it’s actually how you get the freedom it’s how you get the more time off it’s how
You get to have lunch breaks where you spend a half an hour outside Gathering acorns in the beautiful sunshine in the birds like you don’t get that by being busy you get that by having an awesome structure that’s there whether you like it or not this is the thing about
Menstral cycle is you’re either working with them or against them there’s no in between you’re not there’s nothing you can do about it like you’re in it so you can use it to your advantage or you can butt your head up against it so if you
Embrace it and you use it to your advantage you have so much more freedom in yourself and when you have those Biz buddies and those connections and those people that you just they’re on your calendar and you’re stoked to see them that’s Freedom that’s really having it
All that stok to see them part I think is very essential piece because I find that people get the word of partnership and they’re like oh who’s the most influential partner I could find and that’s lovely but but the reality is this is also how we put ourselves in situation that we
Don’t want to be in like the stress of responsibility this feeling that I have to keep up um this uh and you know to be as effective as somebody else and the reality is that one of the reasons why we work so well because we have the same ideas we have the same
Ideals I don’t know if I said that clearly so that is one of the things I know when I say I’m in deep ludal I know Sasha gets it right I know that she’s not expecting me to be some like Dynamo of Brilliance and execution we’re definitely not going to talk about the
Backend numbers that day right and what that does is that allows us to be holy ourselves and then be fully supported yes you know instead of of being a version of what other people are expecting uh and like having to keep up and to to check all the boxes and all
This kind of thing it’s a real relationship at that point instead of just a Business Partnership I love that J using me as an example because that makes me feel all warm and gooey because it means that essentially that we get each other right that we get each other
In a real way that’s meaningful to us and our businesses and it translates the business because of that I feel like this is a really impactful conversation that people can really run with and and feel good about the possibility of having a freedom and a business and a
Life of of thriving so thank you so much for joining us today in this conversation Sasha was an absolute Delight yay and you guys I will see you on the next interview you call me a saint know I’m a stranger hello hello so yes so isn’t she amazing I told you she’s amazing I don’t know but what was how did y’all
Feel about it how did what were the takeaways for you around our conversation with Sasha I wish I had known any of those things 10 years ago 20 years ago 30 years ago when I was having issues does she have a book or anything like that her book’s called the revolution will be
Bloody okay thank you and it has information about um par menopause and menopause as well it’s it’s considered part of the cycle it’s just really um you know the hormones start shifting at that point but that’s why it’s so important to get a handle out on
It before then because then you can tell what hormones are kind of kicking in how to support them even though they’re not as as steady right so um it’ll it kind of tells you how to treat your body when it’s in a certain uh energy of of the cycle in a certain
Phase of the cycle so that’s what I love about it and and and that’s the same work that we do with the voice we take that understanding of breath the voice as a as a creation cycle and then we apply it the phases to anything that we’re
Creating so we’re not surprised by a phase um and then we can recognize what phase may be interrupting other cycles that starts become something because we have a creation cycle around everything we do so your food like why aren’t you cooking your meals is part of a cycle of
How you Fe yourself and how you think of nutrition right um and your breath is how you do is with you in every cycle that’s why I think it’s a vital uh vital practice that I I share you know so yay all right what about you Susie I
Mean I know you you know Sasha obviously I do and and even though I’ve I’ve known of stasha and her work for several years it’s it’s taken me a long time to integrate it to give myself permission to I love that um I didn’t realize I was
Going to feed right into her interview when I already referred to hustle culture um but to really get present to what works for me right now and what doesn’t thank goodness because happy 47th birthday now now my schedule’s gone on to its own so you know at least I
Have a little bit to kind of keep me and help me navigate through and I love what she was saying about you can fill every day with busy work right you know so there’s no award for being busy and if you put your priority where it’s best
Suited then that those days that are for busy work you can actually make progress there and you’re not struggling to do the thing to show up and be visible on a day when you would rather just nest and cuddle up and stay in and you know maybe
Do some things behind the scenes and not be forcing yourself to show up right we’re not draining what energy we have where it’s not best spent so I just love how empowering it is to have this permission encouragement to to work to our best Advantage exactly and and it’s the idea
Of having that plan to if you know that you’re in a rest mode and you know you have a visibility mode coming up then you don’t have to feel guilty right because it’s planned that you’re going to be visible during visibility time right and even if you this is why it’s
So precious to track any cycle so if you don’t have a moon cycle well let me say it for real a period you know if you don’t have a period that’s okay there’s a moon cycle literally so that’s why I had to change that verbage because
There’s the the you can follow the moon it’s the typically a 28 day cycle and it it is affecting everybody so I even recommend it for men and actually her partner actually recommends men check their 28 day cycle for men it’s a little different because their hormones fire in
A more daily pattern 24-hour pattern but they’re still getting those especially the sensitive ones are getting those arcs throughout the month um my husband definitely gets an arc where he just sometimes he just needs more baths he needs more alone time he needs more you
Know he just has a he has a downtime too so we want to know that about ourselves so we’re not forcing ourselves what I like to say is that you are essentially using up the energy that you need to move on to the next phase in other words if you’re skipping your your
Restorative cycle not only are you not getting the best use of that phase but you’re also getting less out of the next phase of the cycle which should be your of flow and like feeling good and moving on and getting things done those times um gets slower and slower and slower
Which is why a lot of women end up with stuff like adrenal fatigue right um I mean I say a lot like me you know I had liver cancer so talk about slowdown um it was it was a huge slowdown right it was like slow down that um I really do
Think it was the way I was driving myself especially through grad school and then and then into a musical career where I just was not I felt very on edge and always unsupported I never thought that I could keep up uh but you know I just pushed harder and harder and harder
And harder and it it it wore me out it wore me out I have a hubby hand against hubby up here you summoned him mine de go on him hello hello hello I am welcome to day two of the super Summit well in case you guys were
Wondering well can a guy get anything out of a ministration talk what can he possibly learn what takeaways has he come up with so it was it it’s an observation that I that I had that I think um a lot of uh a lot of men experience that you know for the most
Part women don’t and I mean the team aspect that men typically have to go through we’re always taught to get along to um create relationships for our future and things of that nature you know even in college the big thing is joining fraternity so that you have a
Brotherhood you know when you get in the world so I think a lot of times I think women miss out out on some of those early things in life in which team and understanding that um sort of gets put on a back burner and when she spoke
About that it just really reminded me of why I choose the business I choose and why I believe in the people that I work with is because it’s about team it’s about trust it’s about you know and and I think a lot of women miss out on some
Of those things when they don’t engage in sports through childhood and through those adversities that you build with other people during Sports so my take away from her fantastic talk and I’ve spoken to her live and I love her husband he’s a great guy um one thing
I’ve taken from what she says is you know being a better husband for when Monifa are in those is in those periods and you know as a guy without that understanding you you know you go by The Narrative of the way women act during that time and so what Sasha does is she
Breaks it down and I’ve seen the change in Monifa from the moment that she started writing these red colors in a book every day so I still don’t know what that thing is but uh you know it’s it’s benefited her because she she was one that really had some terrible
Periods when when we first met but that’s it and I’m off to work have a great day guys thanks for being the guy in the room Daryl yes yes that’s interesting because I don’t think he’s ever like sat through a full talk for stasha and uh so it’s it’s always interesting because we
Have to take this information right this is one of the things we’re talking about today is when we realize how it’s necessary for us to be supported then we have to communicate it to the people that are around us in order to get that support um in the beginning when you
First are realizing these things they still dealing kind of with your own selft talk of H I can’t rest again I can’t rest all day I can’t work from bed that is so lazy um and these kind of thoughts in your head you don’t even want to talk about it because you don’t
Want to hear it from anybody either it’s like well you know I don’t want to hear it and if Daryl says something wrong because of our preconceived notions up until now I may not be able to handle myself with the Forum because I’m fighting my
Own self at the same time right so it can be an external fight when that happens that’s usually when fights happen is when you’re conflicted and then it shows up in the conversation um so it’s a lot of that the clear we are and when we give
Ourselves time to integrate uh the new information and then the next step is talking is thinking about how you’re going to talk about it with others how are you going to tell people about uh the types of relationships you want to have with them the types of
Partnerships you want to have with them why you may want to structure a partnership a little bit differently right uh you may not need to tell them all the personal details but you want to be clear as to as to why you want the structure and the results of that
Structure right so that you can communicate it well so y’all are on the same page and can move forward from there so these are the things that allow us to make these important decisions in our lives and our businesses yeah so I I think it’s just
So powerful when we take the time to think about it yeah Revolution will be bloody I think it’s on Amazon um for sure and then I think she does hard copies as well if you go to her page uh but they was the per coach.com I should know that I
Don’t but you um you’ll get your link in the resources so yeah y’all I’m my speakers I’m having a little trouble my speakers so I’m waiting on a couple more links before I share the resources but they will be available as well as the upgrade package will be available
Tomorrow I’ll put up what I have and then I’ll just I try not to push people y’ it’s been a hard year if you haven’t noticed if you you may have run across a few challenges this year some big shifts some big understandings about yourself
Maybe it happens a lot but I think it’s this year it has been intense in ways that we we it just it’s hard to articulate really um so I give people that’s my that’s my speciality I give people Grace and if we give each other Grace then we
Can we can feel more confident moving forward because we can expect that in return right and it helps me again that’s another reason that helps me to get visible if I’m okay with somebody you know taking a little extra time then I I expect people to be okay if I need a
Little extra time you see how that works and I can expect it and then if it doesn’t happen we can have a conversation about it but you know I can expect it because I allow it right um so yeah we talked a little bit about that yesterday it’s like kind of the self
Judgment so it’s a powerful message message to carry forward yay so our next speaker we have a Dr M Masia coming up yes Susie so did you have anything else that you wanted to add there I did I had one more thing that I wanted to
Say about that um because I I I know I gave you a good laugh as I was trying to implement some of this cycle schedule planning honoring where the energy is and um and I very proudly came back to you and said look I mapped out my whole
Year and you said yeah that’s a starting point and your body’s going to do what it’s going to do so um one of the things that you reminded me and and I didn’t hear stasha bring it up forgive me if I was distracted um but that Grace and the
Fact that that it evolves and it changes and so you know you can look ahead and you can try to forecast and and stasha has been able to even with her team in her business build in flexibility so that if her cycle shifts she has that flexibility to do what she’s wanting to
Do and best utilize her energy and so I think that’s really helpful too is it like oh okay now I’ve got a new system and I’m going to apply it to everything and now I know exactly when to plan all of my launches for 2024 that would be
Great and just like you were just saying monif about giving ourselves Grace it’s so helpful to have that understanding for ourselves for the ones that we’re working with and say yeah but this is where we are yeah yeah it was I did kind of laugh a little
Bit I was like oh okay that’ be great that’s awesome because yeah not everything’s predictable and uh what I get out of that is you know any there’s a lot of things that affect our hormones there’s a lot of things that affect our cycle and especially as we’re getting a little
Per menopausal and uh it changes and the flexibility that it allows you is still there like I I thought I was pretty sweetly coming into my folicular for the summit but of course through all the changes I was moving during October my cycle is late so I’m in deep lud deal at
A time I thought I would be in like you know Optimum time for my energy and and so but knowing that right I know what my body needs I’m not surprised if I’m a little cynical right I’m not surprised if you know I don’t I don’t ascribe things that are physical to my
My circumstances within the summit with what I’m trying to get done and therefore again I can be aware of my emotions and I don’t I don’t misassign those things and I can handle each thing separately and it’s clean and it may be a little bit more difficult because
Normally I’d be resting deeply right now but it also means that I I can know that when I take a break that I can just totally veg out not try to push even harder right so I may have pushed harder if I was had more energy I was in that
Face the cycle but because I’m not I’m like okay I I’m just going to give myself a little bit more time right and that’s something uh I think we talk about that in one of the interviews um yeah yeah with Jen uh we talk about self- leadership when that’s what
Understanding yourself when these details allows you is a a self- leadership and some people call it like mothering self mothering I think um a little bit of that but well that’s actually going to come up a little bit with Veronica um she has this wonderful way of walking herself through tough things
And I love that approach approach and allows her to keep moving and also pay attention to her needs as she’s doing all of the things right so those are a few of the gems that we’re walking into and our lovely Dr Mara is here in the room and she is
Another um I didn’t say that but she is another one of our wonderful or alliance members hi Mara hi manifa good to be here it’s so good to see you so what we do is is at the this time we jump off for the recording so the recording doesn’t uh get bogged down and stuck together so we jump off and we come back at the top of
The hour exact same link you can go ahead and click uh the link that Susie dropped in the chat so that it’ll be there when I close the room and then you can just jump back in on that link okay perfect fabulous I will see you in a couple
