I was happily people-pleasing my way to burnout town (except I was miserable).
I was living from the neck up, completely disconnected from my menstrual cycle thanks to 3 rounds of the Mirena coil.
I spent my days trying to function in a world that never quite fit – a world that expects constant productivity, even when your mind and body don’t work that way.
I had no idea my hormonal rhythms were at play every single day (not just when I was bleeding), and I was totally unaware of my neurodivergence.
But at 38, I learned something life-changing...
👉 Your menstrual cycle is MORE than just your period.
Once I discovered how to live in tune with my cycles?
Everything started making sense.
I stopped fighting my body’s natural rhythms and started to listen to them instead.
It was like finding the user manual for my own body (shoulda known it was in the glove box 😂)
But I didn’t arrive at this point easily.
For years before my cyclical living discovery, I thought it was just me – that I was broken somehow.
Every time I crashed into exhaustion or my emotions suffocated me, I’d beat myself up for not being able to keep up with everyone else.
I even wondered if I needed antidepressants because nothing seemed to make sense.
But you can't complete the puzzle without all the pieces.
The real turning point came in 2024.
Even though cyclical living had helped so much, I was still occasionally experiencing what I thought were anxiety and panic attacks.
Not nearly as bad as before, but enough to leave me questioning…
Why isn't this enough?
At 43, I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, and I realised that those moments were actually autistic burnout and meltdowns.
Now, I understand that cyclical living was my lifeline, even before I fully understood it.
It was my first and most impactful coping strategy.
This is game-changing knowledge for any BODY with a cycle, but for neurodivergent people, working with your internal rhythms can be life-altering.
It allows you to set boundaries, safeguard your time and energy, and so that you can carve out ways for you to shine and succeed on your own terms.
So, what if you could also set boundaries with your time and energy based on how you actually feel, not how you’re ‘supposed’ to feel?
Or what if you could bring that knowledge into your organisation, building a workplace where menstruation is met with dignity instead of shame or embarrassment?
