Bree welcomes Audrey Thorp to discuss the significance of understanding female physiology and how it aligns with business practices through cycle syncing. Audrey speaks on the menstrual cycle's four phases – menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal – likening each phase to seasonal changes, making it easier to remember when managing business activities. The conversation highlights how women can leverage their cyclical nature for optimal productivity, illustrating that aligning business tasks with the natural rhythms of the body can prevent burnout and enhance creativity.
Audrey emphasizes the power of recognizing one’s unique cycle, urging women to embrace their innate abilities rather than conforming to a one-size-fits-all work routine. She also touches upon the impact of hormonal birth control and the journey into menopause, framing these experiences as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs looking to harmonize their business strategies with their health and well-being.
Key Takeaways: The menstrual cycle has four distinct phases—menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—that align with different energies and activities ideal for business productivity. Menstruation is a time for deep rest and reflection, where taking a step back can lead to clarity in decision-making. The follicular phase invites exploration and planning, while the ovulation phase is perfect for networking and creating content due to heightened energy levels. The luteal phase is ideal for organization, reflection, and preparing for the next cycle, providing a pivotal insight into personal and work-related boundaries. Embracing menopause and its challenges can empower women to rediscover their purpose and affirm their value in both personal and entrepreneurial endeavors. Notable Quotes: "If we refuse to take the rest our bodies will require and demand us to take that rest." "This is a time of deep reverence. This is a time of deep rest." "You are supposed to go into this time of your life rich and supple and just ready for you to fully embody everything that you've built up." "Menopause will essentially feel like a never-ending season of PMS because our liver is so not happy with being abused for years." "Every month for me is an invitation to map a plan through the seasons of my cycle."

Host, Breeanna Kay and Katy Murray discuss being a multi-passionate entrepreneur. They talk about embracing different passions within your business and finding synergy rather than just balance. Katy outlines her journey as a business owner, HR executive, and podcast host, providing valuable insights into managing multiple interests and the importance of following all your passions.
Katy explains the concept of synergy and how it differs from traditional ideas of balance, emphasizing that it's about creating a harmonious integration of different passions rather than compartmentalizing them. She addresses common challenges and misconceptions, like the pressure to monetize every passion and how to attract the right clients through strategic niching. Bree and Katy also exchange time management strategies, discussing the innovative idea of "attention management" for better productivity.
Key Takeaways: Embrace Multi-Passionate Entrepreneurship: It’s normal and beneficial to have multiple passions. Each passion fulfills different parts of you and can coexist harmoniously in your business. Synergy Over Balance: Synergy involves integrating your various passions seamlessly rather than striving for strict balance. It’s about cooperation and creating a greater combined effect. Strategic Niching: You can be multi-passionate and still attract ideal clients by clearly defining your offers and knowing how they interconnect. Manage Your Time & Attention: Effective time management involves setting clear boundaries and potentially adopting attention management to align tasks with your current mental focus and energy. Know When to Monetize: Not every passion needs to be monetized. Sometimes, it’s enough to pursue a passion simply for personal fulfillment. Notable Quotes: "One of the reasons why it’s important to really embrace the differences in things that you’re passionate about is because it's okay if you don’t get fulfillment, like 100% fulfillment out of one of them." "Synergy really allows them to come together and be the best of who you are." "It’s totally awesome and welcomed to embrace those different passions because they all feed a different part of our heart and soul."
