Follicular Energy, Luteal Doom, and Actually Understanding Your Cycle with Consciously Cait
Point Of The Story
Intro
Sarah introduces Point of the Story and welcomes Consciously Cait; they set a playful tone and guest reveals her work.
If you've ever scheduled a full day of client calls during your luteal phase, this episode is for you.
Or if you've ever thought "I'm so hormonal right now" while on your period (you're literally not btw!), this episode is ALSO for you.
In this episode, I sit down with Cait from Consciously Cait — fertility awareness educator and cervical mucus expert — to break down the four phases of your cycle, why your luteal phase isn't actually trying to ruin your life, and how tracking your cycle is so much more than just logging when your period starts in some random, data-hungry app.
TOPICS & TANGENTS
— Why your period is NOT the main character of your cycle
— PMDD vs. regular PMS
— Why you need 200-400 extra calories in your luteal phase (and a juicy steak on day one)
— Why predictive apps are lying to you
— The difference between discharge and cervical mucus (my main takeaway!)
— Aligning your business with your cycle: what to do in each phase
— How to track your cycle when you have ADHD and forget everything
POINT OF THE STORY
When you actually understand what's happening in your body during each phase, you can work WITH your cycle instead of against it. And maybe, just maybe, stop planning launches during your luteal phase.
