ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if cycle-syncing was supposed to help you trust yourself but instead, you’ve started using it as another reason to second-guess every decision?
In this episode of Work With Your Cycle, I’m talking about something so many women struggle with: overthinking. Especially when you’re a business owner trying to make the “right” decision about your launch, pricing, content, workload, or next move.
When we start treating cycle-syncing as a set of rigid rules—launch during this phase, rest during that phase, create during another phase—it’s easy to fall into analysis paralysis. Instead of using your menstrual cycle and energy as information, you start looking for the perfect time and the perfect answer. And spoiler alert: there is no perfect time or perfect decision. There are simply different choices with different trade-offs.
I’m walking you through how to recognize when overthinking is actually perfectionism or fear in disguise, how to check in with your body and intuition, and why giving yourself a deadline can help you finally make the decision you’ve been circling around. I also talk about why action creates momentum, why confidence comes from doing, and how making decisions gives you real data about what works for you and your business.
What You'll Learn:
- Why overthinking can turn cycle-syncing into analysis paralysis and why your cycle isn't a rigid rulebook.
- How to distinguish between asking whether something is the “perfect” time and asking whether it’s a reasonable time based on your cycle and energy.
- How to identify the fear underneath the decision you're avoiding.
- Why giving yourself a 24-hour deadline can help you stop analyzing and start moving.
- How taking action creates momentum, confidence, and real data about what works for your business.
Your Challenge:Think of one decision you've been overthinking in your business.
Maybe it's launching something, changing your prices, hiring someone, changing your offer, or finally doing the thing you've been thinking about for weeks, or even months.
Name the decision.
Ask yourself: What am I actually afraid of?
Then give yourself 24 hours to decide and take one small action.
If you're still stuck after those 24 hours, come back to the show notes and schedule a Consistent Month Call so we can work through what's really keeping you stuck and rework the decision around your unique situation.
