Living and working in alignment with your menstrual cycle is life-changing.

This episode is so special because I am talking to Iris Verstappen, a star participant in my last apprenticeship program, which has now transformed into my Women’s Hormone Health Certification Program. Iris has mastered the practice of syncing her life and her cycle and she’s here to share how it can help you to work smarter, not harder, whether you’re an entrepreneur or working a 9 to 5.

Iris Verstappen is a certified Holistic Cycle Guide, Hormonal Health Coach, and Birth Worker with an academic background in medical anthropology and women’s studies. Her work revolves around our menstrual and life cycles from periods to postpartum and she teaches people to practice cyclical living and being in flow with their cycles instead of going against them.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to work cyclically, how the different phases of the cycle align with different elements of work and life, the problems with our traditional work culture, how to figure out your strengths in each phase of your cycle, what to do if you’re not in control of your schedule, and so much more!

I’m so excited because Agni has just launched a complete women’s health box for healthy hormones and better periods. What I really like about Agni is that they work with a Medical Advisory Board and top chefs to make their products, so if you’ve ever wished your supplements tasted delicious, you’ll really love their new box. The Complete Women’s Health Box has five awesome products in it – my personal favorite is the double chocolate chip cookies. They’re the kind of cookies that make you want to eat the whole box in one sitting. I also really love the seasonings which make seed cycling super easy, plus they turn your avocado toast into otherworldly goodness. Everything in the box is gluten-free, dairy-free, and totally delicious.
