For too long, women have been told to push through their menstrual cycle, ignoring the energy dips, mood shifts, and hormonal changes that happen every single month. But here’s the truth: your cycle isn’t a weakness—it’s a built-in performance strategy. When understood, it becomes a powerful tool to boost productivity, enhance leadership, and prevent burnout.
In this episode, I’ll break down the four phases of your menstrual cycle and how each one impacts your energy, creativity, and decision-making. You’ll learn how to work with your menstrual cycle, not against it, so you can align your workflow, workouts, and leadership style with your biology. This approach, known as cycle syncing for women leaders, is key to cycle aware leadership and thriving as a BioAligned Leader.
And if you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause? This episode isn’t just for menstruating women. You’ll learn perimenopause energy tips and menopause performance strategies rooted in the BioAligned Woman Method™—so you can lead with clarity and confidence through every hormonal shift.
We’ll also explore how hormonal changes and leadership are deeply connected, and how honoring your cycle can support long-term women’s health and leadership success.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
