Ep. 62 Working With Your Cycle: Boost Productivity & Balance in Your Business
Description
In this episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m joined by Tayba Azim, counsellor, psychotherapist, and Mizan therapist. Together, we explore how understanding your menstrual cycle and its inner seasons can help you thrive as a woman in business.
We dive into:
🌸 What Mizan therapy is and how it supports reproductive, digestive, and emotional health
🌸 The inner seasons of the menstrual cycle (winter, spring, summer, autumn) and what they mean for energy, mood, and productivity
🌸 Practical tips for cycle charting — apps vs paper tracking
🌸 How to sync business tasks, self-care, and even exercise with your cycle phases
🌸 Why period pain is common but not normal, and how traditional practices can help
🌸 How women without a bleed (due to birth control, menopause, or hysterectomy) can still benefit from cycle charting with the lunar cycle
I learned a lot from this conversation about reclaiming your body’s wisdom, challenging societal stigmas, and finding balance in both work and life.

Working alone in clients' homes comes with risks most birth workers aren't prepared for. Niamh created this free guide to share the 8 safety protocols she learned over two decade of home visits (first in social care services, then in birth work) from what to ask on your intake form to positioning yourself for safety. It takes 2 minutes to read and might be the one thing that matters.
