 We’ll begin by addressing the outdated planning system we've all been operating under—a system built by men. The conventional calendar, dating back to 3000 BC, follows a 24-hour cycle, which doesn't align well with the natural rhythms of women. Women operate on roughly a 28-day cycle in sync with their menstrual cycles. Understanding this biological difference is instrumental in planning for success.

Traditional planning methods often overlook the natural ebb and flow of a woman's energy throughout her menstrual cycle. Acknowledging these fluctuations and incorporating them into your planning can lead to more efficient, flexible, and personalized strategies. By learning how to harness the productive periods and honoring the need for rest during low-energy phases, you can optimize your approach to work and life.

A unique aspect introduced in this workshop is the consideration of nervous system regulation in planning. The session touches on the importance of regulating your nervous system to create a more enjoyable planning experience. When your nervous system is in balance, your creative output is more inspired and aligned with higher frequencies, leading to better results and a more fulfilling work process.

By understanding the challenges women face, debunking myths, and introducing unique concepts like nervous system regulation, the goal is to empower you to redefine how you do business.
