Kate Northrup x Vasavi Kumar: The Truth About Your Menstrual Cycle & Productivity
About this episode
On today’s episode of The Being Human Podcast, I’m talking with Kate Northrup all about how your menstrual cycle affects your productivity and how you can use this inner tool to be happier, healthier, and more effective in your business.
I don’t know about you, but there’s not much out there about the female cycle and productivity. Most of the time, as women, we get lost in the ebbs and flows, the constant ups and downs that are our hormones, but Kate has figured out how to use her monthly cycle to her advantage.
As an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother, Kate has built a multimedia educational platform that reaches hundreds of thousands globally. Her work has been featured by The Today Show, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, Women’s Health, Glamour, and more.
She’s committed to supporting ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out, and teaches data and soul-driven time and energy management practices that result in saving time, making more money, and experiencing less stress through her Do Less Planner, her programs, and her books, Do Less and Money: A Love Story.
I cannot wait for you to use the best practices she has around your monthly cycle so you can skyrocket your success, feel better overall, and truly create a schedule that works for you.
Let’s get to it.
