Unlocking Energy, Productivity, and Self-Compassion

About this episode

Katie Grimes discusses cycle syncing with Ashley McDonald, exploring its impact on energy, productivity, and self-compassion.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my longtime coach and friend Ashley McDonald to revisit one of the most impactful topics we've ever shared: cycle syncing, and how it can completely transform your energy, productivity, and well-being. We dive into: The four phases of your cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal) and how to work with them What to eat, how to move, and when to rest for better health and business success Why rest feels uncomfortable and how to release the guilt around it What to do if you don't get your period anymore (menopause, IUD, etc.) How cycle syncing reduces shame, prevents burnout, and creates more ease Whether you're brand new to cycle syncing or you've been practicing for years, this episode is packed with practical tools and powerful insights to help you honor your body and show up more fully in every area of life.
