That’s why understanding your cycle can be such a powerful tool for self-regulation, time management, and planning.In today’s episode, we dive into:🌿 The connection between your hormones and ADHDADHD is already closely tied to emotional regulation, energy levels, and mental clarity. Your cycle adds a whole other layer to the mix—and knowing your phases helps you work with your brain instead of against it.🌀 A quick breakdown of the four phases of your cycle:Menstrual Phase (Days 1–7)You’re bleeding. You’re tired. You probably want quiet and alone time.Energy starts low but tends to increase by the end of this phase.Follicular Phase (Days 8–13)Your energy is rising! You’re thinking clearly, ready to be social, and starting to gain momentum.Great time for brainstorming, planning, or starting big tasks.Ovulation Phase (Days 14–17)This is your superwoman window. You feel confident, energized, and magnetic.Perfect for recording content, pitching ideas, batch-working, deep cleaning, etc.Luteal Phase (Days 18–28)Your energy gradually dips again. You might start to feel foggy or irritable.If you have PMDD, this is likely the hardest part of your month.Best time for maintenance, admin tasks, or wrapping up projects.⚡ Why syncing matters for ADHD:You don’t have to force productivity. You can plan for it based on your natural rhythms. We love gentle productivity around here.Instead of burning out or starting over constantly, cycle syncing gives you a way to move consistently—with flexibility and self-compassion.📌 Quick tip:Don’t try to overhaul everything right away. Just start noticing. Track your energy, focus, and mood. See if any patterns emerge. That alone is a huge win.💡 Want more support creating sustainable systems rooted in grace, not guilt?Get on the waitlist for my brand-new group coaching program: The ADHD Consistency Collective—a Christ-centered program for building rhythm, renewing your mind, and getting consistent (in a way that finally makes sense).✨ Bonuses + early bird rates available for the waitlist crew.🔗 Join the waitlist now!Other episodes about menstrual cycles and ADHD:Ep 123: Pain Free Period?
