Why Hustle Culture is Wrecking Your Hormones (and What to Do Instead)
We've been told that success requires grinding harder, sleeping less, and pushing through exhaustion. But this "hustle culture" is destroying women's hormones, metabolism, and mental health.
Unlike men, whose hormones follow a 24-hour cycle, women’s hormones fluctuate over a 28-day cycle. The working world we are living is built around a man’s 24 hour clock NOT a woman’s 28 day energy cycle. As society catches up to this truth here is what we can do.

How Overworking Disrupts Your Hormones
🔹 Chronic Stress = Cortisol Overload
Excessive work and stress keep cortisol levels elevated, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and anxiety.
🔹 Irregular Cycles & Hormonal Imbalances
Ignoring your body’s need for rest and recovery disrupts your menstrual cycle, can make periods more irregular or painful, mood swings, and fertility issues.
🔹 Adrenal Fatigue & Burnout
Overworking without recovery depletes adrenal function, making you feel "wired but tired" - restless at night but exhausted all day.

The Solution: Here are my 4 top tips for a feminine approach to success
Fuel Your Body with nutrient-dense foods & high protein instead of relying on stimulants like coffee.
Work with Your Cycle instead of forcing the same output daily.
Prioritize Deep Rest - sleep is one part of the equation but daily active rest outside of sleep is so important for women like meditation, breathwork and restorative movement.
Embrace Intuition & Flow rather than solely living with a rigid structure.
