Understanding the Female Cycle: Nature's Guide to Energy and Introversion

A woman's body naturally cycles between introverted and high-energy phases, and this reflects nature's design for us to align our activities like hustle and masculine driven tasks with our expansive, high-energy times.

“And if you look at a woman's body, that's exactly what nature is telling us to do, is that we work in a cycle, that there are times where we are more introverted and there are times where we feel a lot more expansive and high energy, and that's when we should be doing those more hustle, more masculine-driven activities”

Creating my new identity as a postpartum mom of 3 at 41 years old, running two businesses married to the man of my dreams.

I became pregnant for the third time at 40 with 10 years between my fist and my third; and it completely rocked me.

I had the worst morning sickness of all my pregnancies, and then I had extremely low iron, anemic. I had to have an iron, infusion, and then I got a blood clot in my leg. I had the most unsightly varicose veins.

Meanwhile, I’m at speaking engagements, I’m traveling, my business is growing, things are happening, and there I am, completely struggling in my pregnancy. I was on blood thinners, I had to take, medication, which I’m not someone that really enjoys taking medication.

My delivery was also not a walk in the park. We went natural. Baby girl got stuck and, the midwife had to go in with both hands, and we needed to get baby girl out. It was wild.

In the meantime, I have a coaching container. I had planned for that to manage postpartum and then I also have a sales organization which keeps ticking, which I’m so, so grateful for because it is the gift that keeps on giving.

I’m convinced that most of what we’ve been taught is a lie.

They tells us we need a son to carry on the family lineage.

Meanwhile biology proves that only daughters keep the lineage going through mitochondrial DNA. A son may keep your family name going, but only a daughter can keep your lineage going.

May we live in a world where the birth of a baby girl is as celebrated as the birth of a baby boy.

All children are a gift but we can’t deny that boys have the same rights everywhere. While a girl’s rights, freedom or perceived value changes depending on country, culture or ethnicity. For as long as this is true, we need feminism.

I’m also convinced women who oppose feminism do so because they’re uneducated on the topic. If they did a little research they would be shocked (as I was) at the oppression of women historically and in present day. Maybe then they would become aware of how their internalised patriarchy shapes their world view; I know it did for me.

About Mitochondrial DNA: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is used by scientists and genealogists to follow deep maternal lineage across thousands of years. Unlike regular (nuclear) DNA, mtDNA does not mix with paternal DNA, it avoids the “shuffling” process. Your mtDNA is virtually identical to your mother’s, your maternal grandmother’s, and even distant relatives on your mother’s side.

3 things I did to become a sought after keynote speaker

Public speaking didn’t come naturally to me; I was a shy and quiet child. The thought of the teacher calling on me in class gave me anxiety. The first time I presented in front of a panel of executives as part of a business competition, I visibly trembled. I hyped up my team members as we waited our turn to present even though I felt like I was going to pass out.

Here’s the thing, excitement and anxiety can feel similar in the body, and it’s up to us how we want to channel that energy. These are 3 things I did to become an international key note speaker:�
1️⃣ I got inspiration but didn’t copy someone else’s style; I created my own. Instead of copying their tone or mannerisms, I asked myself what made these speakers compelling, and it was always their authenticity; they were true to themselves. They shared stories only they could share because they were based on lived experience and not theory. Of course there are speaking principles and frameworks to follow, but what makes people connect with you is your unique stories and perspectives.

2️⃣ I stayed humble. I said yes to opportunities and collaborations that didn’t have an obvious ROI. I focused on building genuine connections, adding value and playing a supporting role. From my perspective you have to earn the ability to say no. Too many people are holding out for the big stage, audience or platform, not realising the small platforms are stepping stones to the big ones. You have to prove you have the chops to move your audience and create an impact. You never know how one yes can change the trajectory of your path. Stay open. Stay humble

3️⃣ I practiced speaking regularly. In 2020 I committed to weekly trainings inside my EQ Academy and they only became less frequent this year. I did this because I knew it would be hard. It challenged me to develop new lessons around my expertise (emotional regulation, feminine and masculine dynamics and leadership) on a consistent basis. It challenged me to cultivate the energy even on days I felt uninspired or when I felt I was the one that needed the motivational talk (e.g., the loss of my mom and other tricky things we all face in life). Week after week I showed up for my community and that built my confidence in my oratory skills.

I still get nervous when I speak on big stages; I don’t see it as a sign that speaking isn’t for me.

Nerves is nothing more than my body telling me this event is important to me.

I love this quote: “There are only two types of speakers in the world. 1. The nervous and 2. Liars.” Mark Twain

As someone who teaches emotional regulation, I wonder how many anxious adults were once just babies left alone in a dark room waiting for someone who never came because they were teaching them to ‘self-soothe’

I say this with love: You cannot teach a baby to self-soothe. They literally have an underdeveloped nervous system and brain which makes them incapable of self-regulating; they need us to co-regulate.

They need our physical touch, slow breathing, and calm voice to help stabilise their heart rate, sensory input, and emotions until they develop their own self-regulation skills (later in life!).

Your baby isn’t manipulating or tricking you into holding them too much, and you’re not spoiling them for picking them up when they cry. You are meeting their basic needs.

Imagine how different our world would be if we stopped expecting babies to regulate themselves and instead focused on building our own EQ.

Regulated parent first, regulated baby second, not the other way around.

Do you agree?

I had the privilege of keynoting at International Women’s Day 2026 where 400 women came to celebrate our far women have come and how much higher we can rise together. I shared my story: From Dirt Floor To Global Stage.

I discussed the role of self identity, emotional intelligence and holding on to your vision to create your dream life✨
