"We’re not meant to be perpetually productive. Our power is in the ebb and flow."

Hello, beautiful.! Monica here, back in your ears, and today, we’re talking about something that might just shake up everything you’ve been taught about success, productivity, and even your own body. Buckle up.

Here’s the thing—women have been lied to. For centuries. We’ve been told to push harder, do more, and operate like mini-men in a world that rewards burnout. But what if the key to feeling your best, being your most creative, and even boosting fertility isn’t in doing more, but in doing differently?

Today, I’m joined by the incredible Rebecca Rankin, who’s here to drop truth bombs about cyclical living—aka, why your hormones are actually your superpower (if you stop fighting them). We’re talking about why you feel like an unstoppable queen one week and a drained zombie the next, why ignoring these shifts wrecks your health, and how simple awareness can change the game.

Spoiler alert: If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing "everything right" but still not seeing results, this episode is your wake-up call. Get ready to stop playing chauffeur to everyone else’s needs and start reclaiming your rhythm, your energy, and your damn life.

"Radical responsibility means calling out the ways we sabotage ourselves—yes, even while washing the dishes."
