The Cycle Advantage

They say motherhood changes you but what they don’t tell you is that it reveals you. Every trigger, every tantrum, every moment you snap and feel guilt bubbling under your skin. It will hold up a mirror to the parts of you you’ve spent years avoiding.  The parts that feel tender, reactive, and raw. And that’s exactly what this week’s episode is all about. I sat down with Carly Ely, and we cracked open the truth about what motherhood is really asking of us. Not the Pinterest-perfect version but the real, soul-stretching journey of learning how to parent while still discovering who you are. If you've ever wondered why motherhood feels like a spiritual awakening (but no one gave you a guidebook for it), you're going to feel so seen in this conversation. We Also Talked About: ✨ The way triggers point to unhealed parts of you and have nothing to do with your child’s behavior ✨ Why your worth has nothing to do with how well your child performs ✨ The grief that hits when you realize time is moving way too fast ✨ How motherhood becomes the mirror for your own emotional growth ✨ What it actually means to break generational cycles (without perfection) ✨ The shift from control to connection and how to let your guard down ✨ The quiet shame we carry and how self-compassion sets us free This Episode Is for You If You’ve Ever… ✔ Felt like motherhood was asking you to do deep inner work (but didn’t know where to start) ✔ Needed a reminder that growth and grace can coexist ✔ Been trying to break cycles without burning out ✔ Felt like your kids were showing you what you still needed to heal ✔ Struggled with shame and wondered if you were the only one This conversation will validate your journey, soften your shame, and remind you that you’re not alone in the messy middle. Meet Carly Carly Ely is a conscious motherhood coach, subconscious reprogramming expert, and neurodivergent mom of two. She combines her background as a school psychologist along with her training and study of the reparenting and spirituality to guide women through the process of healing and rediscovering themselves in motherhood.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that menopause is a loss… A loss of youth, energy, clarity, and vibrancy.  That we have to brace for weight gain, exhaustion, brain fog, and mood swings. That we should just “deal with it” because it’s part of aging.  ❌ That’s a LIE. What if perimenopause and menopause were actually your body’s way of calling you into deeper power, alignment, and self-trust? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jessica Green, a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, shares holistic strategies to balance hormones, boost energy, and step into your most powerful self. Inside this episode, we’re unlocking: ✨ The real reason menopause feels so hard in Western culture (and how to shift your experience—starting now). ✨ The hidden link between stress, food, and hormone imbalances ✨ Why women in some cultures barely experience symptoms at all and how to bring those practices into your own life ✨How the energetics of food & mindfulness play a huge role in hormone balance You don’t have to suffer through this transition. You don’t have to accept the struggle. This is your invitation to step into a whole new way of living and thriving. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow—Without Burning Out?

A year ago, I hit pause on the podcast. At the time, it felt necessary… life was full, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep producing content just for the sake of it. I needed a break. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t done. Over the past year, so much has shifted. My business, my perspectives, even my own internal rhythms. And with that, I started feeling this pull to return to the podcast space. But this time, it’s going to look a little different. Deeper Conversations, No More Fluff I don’t want to just create content that checks a box. I want this podcast to be a space for real, meaningful conversations—conversations that challenge us, expand us, and maybe even make us a little uncomfortable at times. I want to have the conversations that are challenging the status quo and that we NEED to be having around women in business, the patriarchy, femininity vs masculinity, women’s health, and so many other beautiful topics that need us to talk about. No Set Schedule—Just Inspired, Impactful Episodes One big change? I’m letting go of the pressure to release episodes on a rigid schedule. Instead, I’m committed to sharing when I feel called to or when I have something truly worth saying. I want every episode to feel intentional, not forced. So, if you’re here for quick, surface-level business hacks… this might not be your space. But if you’re open to exploring deeper truths, to challenging the way we’ve been conditioned to work and lead, and to embracing a more aligned, cyclical, and intentional way of showing up in the world—then I’d love for you to join me.

You know that feeling… where you’re doing all the things—showing up, grinding, checking every box—and yet, deep down, you still feel stuck? Drained? Like you’re missing some invisible key that makes success feel easier for everyone else? The problem isn’t you—it’s the strategy you’ve been forcing. This week on the podcast, I’m sitting down with Anna Nichols, a Human Design expert and business strategist, to uncover the missing piece—how to finally stop working against yourself and start creating success that feels natural, aligned, and ridiculously magnetic. Your energy is your greatest advantage—but only if you know how to use it. Inside this episode, we unlock: 🔥 Why 99% of business strategies fail for women (and how to find the ONE that’s designed for you). 🔥 How to make success feel effortless by working with your energy, not against it. 🔥 What happens when you declare your next-level life & business—and exactly how to handle the fear, resistance, and doubts that come up. 🔥 Why “working harder” is keeping you stuck—and the simple shift that changes everything. Anna’s story is living proof that when you finally lean into your true design, everything shifts—clients, money, ease, creativity… it all starts flowing.

You know that feeling when you’ve been running so hard that suddenly… your body, your brain, and even your bank account are like: nope, we’re done? Burnout isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a full-body STOP sign. And yet, most women entrepreneurs keep pushing through because they think rest equals failure. My guest today, Kelly Brock, knows this story all too well. After building multiple six-figure businesses, she hit burnout again, this time with kids, employees, and a whole lot of expectations weighing on her shoulders. What she discovered in that breakdown is exactly what we’re talking about today: the seasons of business, how to actually enjoy the present moment, and why authenticity is the only strategy that never goes out of style. Episode Summary In this refreshingly honest episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, Kelly Brock and I talk about the real cost of hustle culture. Kelly shares her journey of walking away from a thriving business, taking a social media sabbatical, and rediscovering what presence, pleasure, and alignment really look like as a CEO, mom, and woman. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of bigger goals, higher revenue, and non-stop content creation, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. We dive into the natural rhythms of business, why building around your “summer season” is a trap, and how authenticity will always be your most magnetic asset. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ✔️ The hidden danger of building your entire business on your “summer energy”  ✔️ Why burnout is more than exhaustion: it’s a sign you’re out of alignment ✔️ How a social media sabbatical revealed Kelly’s hidden attachment to dopamine + validation ✔️ The surprising link between presence, prosperity, and play ✔️ Why you cannot automate authenticity (and what to do instead) Key Takeaways ✔️ Seasons of business are just as real as the seasons of the year ✔️ Presence is a practice. If you can’t enjoy today, you’ll miss the very life you’re working so hard to create. ✔️ Authenticity vibrates higher than perfectly curated content. Connection beats curation every time. ✔️ Burnout isn’t failure, it’s feedback. Let the “dark night” refine you instead of rushing past it. Why It Matters If you’re in a season where growth feels slow (or like everything’s falling apart), this episode is your reminder: nothing is wasted. Every season: spring, summer, fall, winter serves a purpose. You don’t need to keep proving yourself by hitting bigger numbers. You don’t need to show up online 24/7. And you definitely don’t need to burn yourself down to build yourself back up. Your worth isn’t tied to your revenue. Your value isn’t measured in likes. And when you stop chasing “more,” you’ll finally have space to receive what you actually want: freedom, presence, and overflow. This Episode Is For You If… ➡️ You’re feeling the sting of burnout (again) and wondering how to climb out ➡️ You’ve been comparing yourself to mentors or peers in a totally different season of life ➡️ You’ve ever felt addicted to social media validation and craved a break ➡️ You want to build a business that supports your whole life not just your highlight reel Meet Kelly Kelly Brock is an entrepreneur and CEO of Kelly Brock Co., a coaching company that empowers women to live out authentic and abundant lives.

You’ve read the books. You’ve followed the strategies. You’ve checked every box the “experts” told you to. And yet… your business still feels heavier than it should. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing something wrong (spoiler: you’re not), today’s conversation is going to feel like a warm exhale. Episode Summary In this episode of The Cycle Advantage, I sit down with Jillian Dolberry to talk about what it really takes to build a business rooted in alignment, not hustle. We dig into the messy middle of entrepreneurship: unlearning outdated rules, finding your values, releasing internal pressure, and creating systems that honor both your body and your business. If you’ve been craving permission to grow with peace over pressure, this one is for you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔️ How to unlearn the “rules of business” you’ve inherited and create ones that actually fit you ✔️ Why pressure isn’t always a good motivator (and what to choose instead) ✔️ How to give yourself permission to move things on your calendar without guilt ✔️ The surprising connection between personal healing and business growth ✔️ Why peace and pleasure may be your most untapped business strategies Key Takeaways ➡️ Curiosity is powerful. Asking “why am I feeling this way?” can reveal patterns and programming you didn’t know were running the show. ➡️ Peace overrides pressure. Sustainable growth doesn’t come from hustling harder: it comes from aligning your work with your energy. ➡️ Your body always counts. Burnout doesn’t have to scream at you before you pay attention. Honor the signals early. ➡️ Unlearning is as important as learning. What worked for someone else (or your parents in the ’90s) may not work for you now and that’s okay. ➡️ Permission creates power. Moving tasks, slowing down, and working from joy can unlock more magnetism than forcing yourself forward. Why It Matters If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through business, telling yourself that hustle = success, this conversation is your reminder: you don’t have to earn success by suffering for it. Your future self, the one who’s working fewer hours, attracting aligned clients, and enjoying her life is built on different rules.  This Episode Is For You If… ✨ You’re exhausted from “doing all the right things” but not seeing results ✨ You’re constantly comparing your progress to other entrepreneurs ✨ You want permission to rest, slow down, and still be wildly successful ✨ You crave systems that support you instead of suffocate you ✨ You want to believe in yourself again (and need someone to remind you it’s possible) Meet Jillian Jillian Dolberry is an Ops Consultant and Team Strategist for women entrepreneurs and host of The Grace-Filled CEO Podcast.

Your business isn’t stalled because you’re lazy. It’s stalled because you’re waiting until you “look professional” enough to show up or you’re stuck in the self-help hamster wheel, journaling on your limiting beliefs but avoiding the scary action that actually moves the needle. Sound familiar? (Yeah, me too.) That’s exactly what Kimberly Spencer and I dive into in this juicy, real-talk episode. Episode Summary: Kimberly Spencer, an award-winning coach, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author joined me to unravel the three big traps ambitious women fall into: perfection disguised as professionalism, ignoring the natural cycles of business, and hiding in personal development instead of taking action. This conversation will remind you that your business isn’t meant to be linear, polished, or perfect. It’s meant to evolve with you messy bun, winter seasons, limiting beliefs and all. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ➡️ Why “professional” often means procrastinating and what professionalism actually is ➡️ How to recognize the season your business is in (and stop shaming yourself for it) ➡️ The sneaky way personal development can keep you stuck instead of moving forward ➡️ Why courageous, imperfect action is always more powerful than waiting to feel ready ➡️ How aligning with your natural rhythms creates momentum without burnou Key Takeaways: ✅ Professionalism is an energy, not a polished backdrop or blazer. ✅ Business moves in cycles: spring, summer, fall, winter and each has value. ✅ Limiting beliefs don’t need to be “cleared”, they just need to be acknowledged so you can act anyway. ✅ The most magnetic leaders aren’t perfect (they’re authentic, courageous, and consistent with their commitments) Why It Matters: The cost of staying stuck in these traps is huge. You waste energy trying to look the part, you shame yourself for natural slowdowns, and you keep telling yourself you’re “working on your mindset” while avoiding the actions that would actually bring in clients. The future version of you isn’t waiting to feel polished, healed, or ready…she’s showing up courageously, honoring her seasons, and taking aligned action even with fear in the room. This Episode is For You If… ✅ You’ve been waiting until things “look professional” to take action. ✅ You’re in a slow season and worried it means you’re failing. ✅ You’ve done all the mindset work but still feel stuck.  ✅ You want your business to feel more cyclical, natural, and aligned.  ✅ You’re ready to lead with authenticity and courage instead of perfection.

Have you ever felt like you had to shrink yourself just to “fit” into the room? Like the louder, bolder, more buttoned-up version of you is the only one allowed to succeed in certain spaces? You’re not alone, and my guest today proves that the exact opposite is true. Episode Summary In this episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, I sit down with Emily Apollonio, founder of Interstellar Performance Labs and the architect of the STAR Program. Emily’s real breakthrough didn’t come from another credential, certification, or degree. It came from choosing to fully embody her authentic self (yes, fringe sleeves, glitter, and all). If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt, hustling for validation, or wondering if you’re “too much” in your work or business, this conversation will light a fire under you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ➡️ The surprising truth about female leadership in aerospace and what it’s really like for women in male-dominated industries. ➡️ Why self-awareness is more powerful than stacking credentials (and how it shapes your influence as a leader). ➡️ Emily’s journey from aircraft accident investigator to spaceflight analog missions (yes, training like astronauts on Earth!). ➡️ How embracing her cycle and feminine leadership traits helped Emily ditch burnout and lead with confidence. Key Takeaways ✅ Authenticity is magnetic. When you show up as your true self, you actually gain credibility, not lose it. ✅ Self-awareness beats another degree. Real leadership starts with knowing yourself, not just collecting titles. ✅ Your femininity is an asset, not a liability. Traits like communication, connection, and intuition are desperately needed in high-stakes industries. ✅ Burnout isn’t required. Cycle syncing and feminine rhythms can help you thrive even in high-pressure environments. ✅ Confidence is built like muscle. Strength in one area of life ripples into every other part of who you are. Why It Matters If you’re tired of hustling for worthiness, working harder, chasing validation, or wondering when you’ll finally feel like enough, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to prove yourself through exhaustion. Authentic, feminine leadership isn’t just “allowed” in male-dominated spaces… it’s the revolution we’ve been waiting for. Emily’s story proves that you can be playful and powerful, feminine and fierce, glitter-loving and grounded and still command the respect of your industry. This Episode Is for You If… ➡️ You’re a woman in a male-dominated field (or online space) who’s tired of proving herself. ➡️ You’re craving permission to show up fully as YOU without the mask, without the hustle. ➡️ You’ve ever thought “Do I need another certification just to be taken seriously?” ➡️ You’re curious about how cycle syncing can create more ease, productivity, and confidence. ➡️ You’re ready to stop dimming your light and start leading with your full brilliance.

If you’ve ever thought “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just handle this like everyone else?”... this one’s for you. Because nothing’s wrong with you. You’re not “too emotional.” You’re not lazy for wanting more freedom in your schedule. And you’re definitely not broken because hustle culture makes you want to burn it all down. This week on The Cycle Advantage Podcast, I sat down with Jessica Steele, a former high school principal who walked away from a picture-perfect career to become a leadership and energetic alignment coach. We went all in on the conversations most people avoid…the ones about humanity, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to lead without losing yourself. Why This Conversation Matters We live in a world that celebrates doing over being, reacting over pausing, and “leaving your feelings at the door” like that’s a badge of honor. But suppressing your emotions doesn’t make you stronger; it disconnects you from yourself. And when you’re disconnected from yourself, it’s impossible to lead with clarity, empathy, or confidence. Jess and I talked about what happens when you finally stop trying to fit into a life you never consciously chose… and start creating one that actually works for you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ➡️ How Jess climbed the career ladder without ever stopping to ask if it was her ladder to climb ➡️ The turning point moment that made her question everything she thought she wanted ➡️ The cost of living by society’s script (and why so many women don’t realize they’re doing it) ➡️ The difference between reacting to a trigger and carrying someone else’s energy ➡️ A simple question that can diffuse almost any emotional outburst ➡️ Why pausing before reacting will change your relationships at home and at work ➡️ The role of meditation, stillness, and nervous system regulation in leadership ➡️ How to raise kids who see differences as normal and humanity as non-negotiable 3 Key Takeaways You Can Use Today ✅ Your emotions are data, not flaws. Anger, fear, sadness… they’re all information. When you learn to sit with them instead of suppressing them, you stop making decisions from a triggered place. ✅ Ask yourself: “What’s true for me right now?” That tiny pause between feeling and reacting can be the difference between a fight and a productive conversation. ✅ Lead yourself first. You can’t offer empathy, clarity, or grounded leadership to others if you haven’t practiced it with yourself. Why It Matters If you’ve been living on autopilot, following rules that were never meant for you, and measuring success by someone else’s yardstick, you will burn out. Not because you’re weak, but because you’re human. And humans need connection, stillness, and space to breathe. When you reclaim your humanity and lead from that place, you don’t just create better results… you create a better life. This Episode Is For You If… ➡️ You’re tired of white-knuckling your way through work and life ➡️ You want to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting instantly ➡️ You’ve been told emotions don’t belong in leadership (and you’re ready to call BS) ➡️ You’re craving inner alignment before another strategy, hack, or to-do list item ➡️ You want to model emotional intelligence and empathy for the next generation Meet Jessica Jessica Steele is a leadership and energetic alignment coach who’s spent nearly two decades transforming lives through purpose-driven leadership. With a background in psychology, secondary education, and instructional design, she’s served as a high school principal and held various leadership roles, all while staying rooted in her mission to empower others. Her journey hasn’t been linear—it’s been guided by intuition, soulful pivots, and a deep trust in her inner knowing. From one-on-one and small group coaching sessions to large-scale PD for schools and organizations and launching the Dear Jess app and The Empowered Educator Series, Jess continues to merge strategy with soul to elevate leaders from the inside out. A published author, passionate creative, and devoted student of energy, Jess brings empathy, alignment, and authenticity into every space she enters.

Have you ever been halfway through a decision and thought, “Wait… is this even my choice, or am I just doing what I should?” That’s where this conversation is going today. Because if you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions, chasing everyone else’s expectations, and secretly wondering why you can’t just trust yourself… it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’ve been trained (since you were tiny) to put everyone’s opinions above your own. Today, I’m sitting down with Jessica Frew…wife, ex-wife, stepmom, and certified BOLD action taker to talk about how to ditch the “shoulds,” make confident, conscious decisions, and live in a way that actually feels good (not just looks good on Instagram). She’s here to help you stop overthinking, people pleasing, and endlessly justifying your choices and start owning your voice. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔ How to tell if you’re living from your truth or from decades of conditioning ✔ Why most women don’t actually know what brings them joy (and how to figure it out) ✔ The sneaky ways we pass “shoulds” down to our kids without realizing it ✔ How to navigate other people’s opinions without losing yourself in the process ✔ The decision-making framework Jessica swears by (and why it works for any life choice) ✔ How to shift from “What will people think?” to “What do I really want?” Key Takeaways ✔ Your worth isn’t up for debate (stop proving it and start living it.) ✔ Every decision is just information (not right, not wrong, just feedback.) ✔ Small self-honoring choices matter (it’s not about spa days, it’s about the tiny daily actions that make you feel good.) ✔ You can hold boundaries kindly (respecting your needs and others’ feelings isn’t mutually exclusive.) ✔ Your conditioning isn’t your destiny (you can rewrite your beliefs and how you show up, starting now.) Why This Matters Because staying in the land of “should” costs you everything: your energy, your joy, your health, and your sense of self. When you learn to make decisions from alignment (not fear of judgment), you stop second-guessing, you move faster toward what you want, and you actually enjoy the process. Imagine walking into any situation whether it’s a business opportunity, a parenting choice, or even just a Friday night plan and knowing exactly what’s right for you. That’s what’s on the other side of this work. This Episode Is For You If… ✔ You constantly second-guess your choices (and replay them in your head for days) ✔ You feel like you’re living your life on other people’s terms ✔ You want to make confident decisions without the mental tug-of-war ✔ You’re tired of wondering “What will they think?” every time you do something for yourself ✔ You want to model self-trust and confidence for your kids Links & Resources ✔ Grab Jessica’s book: Shove Your Shoulds: Become a Decision Making Badass and Live the Bold Life You Deserve ✔ Connect with Jessica on Instagram: @jessicafrew Meet Jessica Jessica Frew is a wife, ex-wife, mom, stepmom, and BOLD action taker. She believes that you find true peace, connection and confidence by making your next best decision.

Ever feel like your life is one big, safe bubble… …and yet there’s this whisper in your soul saying, “There’s more”? That’s exactly where Whitney Joy found herself before she walked away from her husband, her house, and her career in one single day. No backup plan. No safety net. Just seven blank passport pages and a decision to rewrite her life entirely. This conversation is an open permission slip to any woman standing on the edge of change whether you’re about to leap, have just been pushed, or are clinging to the railing wondering what’s next. Whitney and I dive into what it really takes to shed old identities, face the unknown, and step into a version of yourself you haven’t met yet (but she’s going to blow your mind). Inside the Episode, We Talked About: In this episode of The Cycle Advantage Podcast, Whitney Joy shares her wild, raw, and soul-stretching journey from adrenaline sports and luxury events… to solo world travel, spiritual transformation, and motherhood. We unpack: ✔️ The identity shifts we face in motherhood, career pivots, and big life changes. ✔️ Why fear of the unknown keeps so many women stuck and how to dance with it instead of hide from it. ✔️ The sneaky ways we cling to our old selves (and how to lovingly let them go). ✔️ Why your next evolution might not look anything like you think and why that’s beautiful. If you’ve been craving change but clinging to comfort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✨ The moment Whitney walked away from “the perfect life” in 24 hours. ✨ How seven blank passport pages became her roadmap to reinvention. ✨ Why your ego is not the enemy (it just needs better boundaries). ✨ The myth of “getting back to your old self” (and why she’s gone for good). ✨How to shift from fearing change to playing with possibility. Key Takeaways You Can Implement Today ✨ Change isn’t the villain. It’s the portal to your next chapter if you let it be. ✨ Fear of the unknown shrinks when you zoom out. The “worst case scenario” usually has about 57 detours before it gets there. ✨ Permission is an inside job. No mentor, spouse, or Instagram guru can give it to you. ✨ You’re not starting over you’re evolving. Pieces of your old self come with you, just in a new shape. Why It Matters If you’ve been sitting on that metaphorical porch, whining on the nail (yep, we went there), this episode might just be the nudge to get up. Your “safe” bubble might be fine… but fine is not where your soul catches fire. Whitney’s story is proof that you can blow up the script you were handed, start fresh, and create something wildly better even if you have no idea what that looks like yet. This Episode Is for You If... ✔️ You’re feeling stuck in a life that looks “good on paper” but feels flat inside. ✔️ You’re navigating a big transition: career, relationships, motherhood, identity. ✔️ You’re afraid of change but more afraid of staying the same. ✔️ You’ve been waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay to leap.

If I’m being honest… there’s no part of me that thrives on pretending I have it all together. There’s no finish line when it comes to growth. We spend so much time trying to “get there,” whatever there means. But real growth isn’t about arriving, it’s about learning how to hold curiosity and compassion for yourself while you’re in the middle of it. You can change your mind. You can get it wrong. You can evolve while still loving who you already are. And that’s exactly why this week’s conversation with Renae Saager is so freaking good. We sat down and had a real conversation about addiction, recovery, navigating judgment (especially from yourself), and learning to embrace growth even when it’s messy, uncomfortable, and makes zero sense in the moment. Because here’s what we both know: Self-acceptance doesn’t show up when life’s picture-perfect. It shows up when you decide you’re allowed to evolve, even while things feel unfinished. What We Broke Down Inside This Episode ✔️ Why honest to goodness real self awareness is the first step toward any real growth ✔️ How to handle judgment both from others and from yourself ✔️ What personal evolution really looks like (spoiler: it’s not a straight line) ✔️ The tension between intuition and logic especially in big life decisions ✔️ Why embracing discomfort is a sign you’re on the right path ✔️ How slowing down feels hard but might be exactly what you need ✔️ Why “enoughness” isn’t something you find (it’s something you choose) ✔️ The balance between worthiness, fun, and personal responsibility If You’ve Ever Felt Stuck Between Self-Acceptance and Wanting More... This episode is for you if: ✨ You’re craving more growth, but don’t want to lose yourself chasing it ✨ You’ve struggled with slowing down and trusting your own timing ✨ You want permission to pursue life with more curiosity, fun, and enoughness ✨ You know there’s more ahead, but you’re learning how to love right where you are This is your reminder that you’re already doing enough, even while you grow.

So many of us grew up absorbing the message that being a “good girl” means being quiet, agreeable, non-needy, and definitely not too sexual. But that version of womanhood has expired. Because when we stay silent about our sexual health, we disconnect from our own power. We make ourselves small. And we miss out on the deeply fulfilling, body-connected, wildly radiant life that’s meant for us. In this powerful, soul-stirring episode, Dr. Stephanie and I went deep into the real talk about how your hormones influence desire, arousal, and emotional connection throughout your cycle and life seasons. We also opened the door to conversations most of us never got to have growing up but desperately need as grown women now. Inside This Episode, We Dive Into: ✨ The shifting narrative around sexuality and why it’s finally happening ✨ What different generations really learned about sex (and what they didn’t) ✨ How to talk to your kids about sex without the shame you were raised with ✨ Breaking the taboo around sexual wellness (and why silence is harming us) ✨ The power of safe, open dialogue in getting the care you need ✨ Why intimacy looks different for everyone and how to own your unique experience ✨ Why seeking help for your sexual wellbeing is not a failure ✨ How your hormonal shifts impact your body, brain, and libido ✨ What the future of sexual wellness and education could look like This Episode Is For You If… ✅ You were never taught how to talk about sex, and now you're trying to figure it out ✅ You’ve felt “off” hormonally but were told to just push through ✅ You carry shame around desire, pleasure, or even asking for what you want ✅ You want to raise empowered kids but don’t know where to start ✅ You’re ready to break generational patterns and lead from self-trust ✅ You’re craving wholeness in your body, your relationships, and your voice Meet Dr. Stephanie Z Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, CRNP is originally from Wisconsin but now calls the East Coast home.  She has her bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees in nursing.  Dr. Z has worked in health care for over 20 years and has been practicing urology and sexual medicine since 2021. The most fulfilling part of her practice is helping people enrich their sexual wellness and experiences, both individually and with partners.  When Dr.Z's not in the office you can find her hosting the Between the Sheets podcast, snuggling her fur baby Milo, hanging out with her two nearly adult children, or dancing in the kitchen while cooking.

You’ve probably heard it a hundred times:  “Just be consistent.” Show up every day. Push through resistance. Stay in momentum. But what if your “lack of consistency” isn’t the problem? What if the real issue is trying to force a rhythm that was never meant for your body, your energy, or your season? Let’s stop pretending business growth is a straight line. It’s not. It’s layered. Emotional. Cyclical. It mirrors you. If you’ve ever felt like you're evolving faster than your brand, or craving space in a world shouting “more, faster, now”... you’re not alone. Julie Chandler and I sat down for the kind of conversation that entrepreneurs need but rarely hear. This one’s for the woman who’s done building a business that drains her and ready to create one that reflects her. Inside This Conversation, We Dive Into… ➡️ How your intuition is a business strategy (and why it’s often more accurate than analytics) ➡️ The behind-the-scenes of navigating personal growth while scaling a business ➡️ Why integrity in marketing is a non-negotiable and how to spot when it’s missing ➡️ How to blend heart and structure without burning out or selling out ➡️ The psychology behind why people buy and what they actually want from you ➡️ The underestimated power of brand trust + emotional resonance ➡️ How to lead with transparency in your sales without diluting your value ➡️ The real shift happening in consumer behavior and how to adapt with grace ➡️ How to honor your energy, cycles, and intuition without sacrificing momentum Tune In If You’re Ready To… 🌀 Stop chasing strategy and start trusting your seasons 💭 Reclaim your voice in how you sell and serve 🔥 Align your offers with integrity and emotional resonance 🌗 Build momentum without sacrificing your wellbeing 💡 Create success that feels sustainable, soulful, and real Meet Julie Julie sees the unseen... from dead people to energy blocks and leaks in your business!

What If Prioritizing Pleasure Made You More Money? How often do you check in with how you’re feeling while running your business? If you’re anything like I used to be, it’s easy to get caught up in the strategy, the numbers, the next thing on your to-do list… and completely forget about actually feeling good while doing it. I grew up believing pleasure was selfish. Indulgent. Distracting. Especially as a woman and especially as someone raised in a conservative Christian household. But here’s what I’ve learned and what I break down in this week’s episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast: Feeling good isn’t just a bonus. It’s essential. For your energy. For your magnetism. For your business success. Here’s What I Break Down Inside This Episode: ➡️ Why I believe in building a Pleasure First Business and how that connects to cycle syncing and feminine leadership ➡️ How feeling good directly impacts sales, client attraction, and business growth ➡️ Why so many women feel guilty about pleasure and how to rewrite that story ➡️ The science behind pleasure: dopamine, creativity, and energetic magnetism ➡️ What embodiment and presence really mean  ➡️ How to balance masculine business strategy with feminine flow Instead of chasing the next strategy or viral post, what if you started with one question: How do I want to feel today? That’s where it begins. Not just in business but in life When you focus on feeling good first, everything else follows. Better ideas. More clarity. Stronger client connections. True success. This Episode Is For You If You’ve Ever: ✨ Felt burnt out from trying to “do all the things” in your business ✨ Wondered how to balance structure and flow as a woman entrepreneur ✨ Struggled to own your desires or felt guilty for wanting more ✨ Needed permission to slow down and reconnect with what actually lights you up You don’t have to sacrifice pleasure for productivity. In fact when you prioritize pleasure, that’s where real productivity starts. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

We’ve been told a thousand times over to "know our worth." But what happens when we start actually charging it? What happens when our business grows… and so does our income… and suddenly, we’re navigating tax brackets, money guilt, and a silent fear that we’ll be judged for wanting more? In this episode, I’m joined by Tiffany Phillips, a powerhouse CPA and Tax Strategist, for one of the most liberating money convos I’ve ever had. We peeled back the layers on ambition, guilt, and what it really looks like when women claim their financial power. We had the kind of conversation that most women crave but rarely get to hear: real talk about money, the guilt that lingers under success and how to build wealth without burning out or playing small. Also, if the word taxes makes you want to run and hide, this episode is for you. In this episode, we also broke down: ✔️ Why women still feel guilty about ambition and how to rewrite that story ✔️ How to actually use tax strategy to your advantage (instead of avoiding it) ✔️ What your CPA should really be doing for you (hint: it’s more than filing) ✔️ Why understanding your finances is power, not pressure ✔️ How political shifts impact your taxes and why you can’t afford to ignore it ✔️ The truth about tax incentives (and how they’re often built for the already-wealthy) ✔️ Why so many of us feel “bad with money” and how to reclaim our financial literacy ✔️ The critical mindset shift from fear-based finance to empowered wealth creation Meet Tiffany Tiffany Phillips is a trusted tax strategist and founder of Phillips Business Group, where she helps women entrepreneurs take control of their biggest expense—taxes—so they can build profitable, sustainable businesses with confidence. As a CPA and MBA, Tiffany specializes in showing six- and seven-figure business owners how to legally and strategically reduce their tax bills by 30% or more—without the confusion or overwhelm. Her mission is clear: to empower entrepreneurs with the financial clarity they need to scale, hire, invest, and grow generational wealth. Tiffany is also the author of Your Biggest Expense: How to Legally Pay Less in Taxes and Keep More Wealth and the creator of practical, approachable courses that make complex tax topics simple and actionable—whether it’s deciding on an S Corp election, planning estimated payments, or uncovering powerful tax-saving strategies. Beyond the spreadsheets, Tiffany is a wife, mom of two, wellness advocate, and speaker who believes women deserve financial freedom and the tools to build businesses on their terms. Her work is rooted in helping women keep more of what they earn so they can lead, give, and live more boldly. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

There was a time in my business journey where I truly believed that more effort = more results.  That if I could just master the strategy, stick to the schedule, and keep showing up consistently, I'd finally “make it.” But then my body started whispering. Then it started screaming. And that’s where this week's guest, Brianna Rose, comes in because this conversation cracked wide open the illusion of success we've been sold as female entrepreneurs… and offered something so much deeper in return. We talked about the things most people aren’t saying out loud including: ➡️ How contraction is a sacred part of creation ➡️ Why “overnight success” is often just smart marketing ➡️ The real weight of launching and why it's okay to slow down ➡️ Why your slower seasons are where your greatest ideas are born ➡️ Why who you are matters more than what you offer ➡️ The energetic reality of passive income (because it’s never actually passive) ➡️ Why internal trust beats strategy every single time ➡️ The truth about what coaching is really about Listen Now If You’re Ready to… 💭 Ditch the rigid formulas and build from your body’s wisdom 🌗 Embrace the slow seasons as sacred 🌀 Work with your energy, not against it 🔥 Redefine success on your terms not Instagram’s 💞 Lead with softness, depth, and unshakable trust Meet Brianna  Brianna Rose is a somatic leadership mentor and creator of the Light Leader® Movement.

If you’re dragging yourself out of bed before your body’s ready, ignoring your hunger cues, and skipping presence for performance… it’s no wonder you feel like you're running on fumes. It’s not that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that the rules you’re following weren’t designed for a woman like you. In this episode, I break down: ✔️ How cortisol + blood sugar can make or break your mornings ✔️ Why gratitude and visualization work (and how to do it in under 3 minutes) ✔️ The signs your morning routine is hurting more than helping ✔️ How to sync your mornings to your cycle not your to-do list You deserve a morning that supports the woman you’re becoming, not the one the world expects you to be.

What if I told you your power doesn’t come from being strong, but from being safe? In this week's podcast episode, I sat down with Laurien Zurhake, a martial arts expert, educator, and absolute powerhouse and we cracked open a conversation that completely flipped the narrative around self-defense, trauma, and what it really means for women to reclaim their bodies. We talked about trauma-informed spaces, patriarchal systems in martial arts, and how competition without collaboration has hurt more women than it’s helped. And if you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built for your softness, your intuition, your rhythm.. this one’s for you. We didn’t just talk about martial arts… We also dove into: ✨ Why trauma-informed practice isn’t optional (it’s the foundation for true growth and safety) ✨ How martial arts can be a powerful tool for healing but only in the right environment ✨ Why women still face invisible barriers in male-dominated training spaces and how we can change that ✨ How ecological dynamics reshape the way we learn, move, and relate to our bodies ✨ How collaboration beats competition (and why a scarcity mindset is keeping women small) ✨How healing starts when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to exhale. ✨ How even children pick up on safety cues and what that tells us about the environments we create ✨ Why women make incredible leaders in martial arts and why it’s time we stop asking for permission 🎙️ Listen Now This conversation is a must-listen if you: 👉 Want to understand how trauma impacts performance + confidence 👉 Are craving safe, supportive spaces to grow your strength 👉 Believe in business (and life) that honors both power and softness Meet Laurien Originally from the Netherlands, Laurien studied (Ancient) History in Nijmegen and at Oxford University (Brasenose College) and pursued a PhD in Munich (topic was Pain Behaviour). She met there her husband on the martial arts mats and due to sexual harassment by their headcoach, Laurien and her husband Alex decided to open their own Trauma Informed Martial Arts and Yoga School. Since that approach is still in its infancy in the martial arts domain, Laurien created her online platform Off the Zone, where she helps martial arts coaches, athletes and gym owners become trauma informed and how to implement effective safeguarding measures so that everyone can train hard and thrive safely.
