So last time, we talked about the Period Saddies—the blanket burrito moods, the cravings, and the “I just want to disappear into a rom-com” kind of vibes. And if you haven’t yet, you can peep my go-to snack list here.

👉 Stay tuned, because today we’re diving into something even juicier: cycle syncing and how to actually run your business (and your life) in flow with your period.

Honouring Your Ebb & Flow

Here’s the truth… A truth that took me “way too long” to learn… You don’t have to push yourself into hustle mode when your body is literally saying, “babe, we’re bleeding, let’s chill.” Instead, you can work with your cycle, not against it. That means knowing what you’re like during your period and planning ahead.

**Aligned Essentials for Human Design Projectors: Rest & Reset During Your Period**

I’ve rounded up my favourite products that make life (*and business*) feel way more effortless and aligned. From cozy tools for rest to project-friendly essentials, check out my curated list here.

Get Well Rested

Let’s get into the tips!

👉 Tip #1: Prep Like a Pro

If you know you get sluggish, “lazy,” or want to live your best burrito life, plan for it.

Cook your favourite meals ahead of time.
Chop veggies and freeze them for easy soups.
Batch create your social media, YouTube, or blog content before your period starts.
Schedule lighter tasks that feel cozy and fulfilling—like art, design, or journaling.

Ask yourself:
👉 What am I like during my period?

For example, I know I don’t feel like talking to a lot of people. I’d rather skip sales calls and lean into behind-the-scenes things that feel creative and grounding—like painting, submitting art to galleries, or writing blogs like this.

“Anything you can do online can be done from bed.”

Why leave your blanket burrito? Anything online can happen from here.

Tip #2: Schedule Your Social (or Anti-Social) Life

Do you want to host a party while cramping? Probably not. Don’t set yourself up for burnout. If you know you’re more introverted during your period, skip big social events and honour your need for inward time. Maybe that looks like:

Connecting with one or two close friends
Spending time in nature
Crafting or creating quietly with loved ones
Or even full-on “I’m a loner this week, thanks bye.”

Give yourself permission to design your business and life around your real energy—not what you “should” be doing… Cause let’s be real… that’s performative… keep that in theatre class.

Tip #3: Feed Your Body What It Needs

Yes, the cravings are real (hello dark chocolate 👋), but balancing those out with healthy fats and nourishing meals can help stabilize your mood and energy. Think of it as fueling your creativity and giving your body love, not punishment. I like to have a lot of seeds and proteins during this time to help with the cravings, so I’m not eating a Costco-sized bag of chips, ice cream, popcorn and everything in between.

Tip #4: Honour Rest as Productive

Your period is a natural inward cycle. Rest is not laziness—it’s part of the flow. When you give yourself permission to slow down, you actually come back stronger in the next phase of your cycle.

I find myself VERY creative during this time, and I love jotting down ideas, brainstorming, journaling, doodling and allowing. Check out my ALL TIME favourite journals here: They allow you to draw, doodle, write, paint, collage, journal, take notes, brainstorm and so much more!

You can do anything you dream of, you can attract anything that has a true desire… but you don’t have to do it all on your period, *that’s burnout sweetie*. Use this time to relax, connect, eat some snacks and keep things productive behind-the-scenes.

💫 Your Cycle is a Superpower

The more you plan ahead, the more your period becomes less of an obstacle and more of a natural rhythm in your business and life. Imagine syncing your launches, creative projects, and even your social energy with the cycles of your body. That’s true alignment.
