In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of race season in Dubai and using it as a metaphor for something much bigger: your unique “race day” in life.

I share how I’m training for the Burj to Burj half marathon, why I checked my cycle phase before I even checked my pace, and how your mindset on race day can override your physiology—when it’s built on respect for your hormones, not hustle culture.

We dive into:
• What meta programs are (your mind’s “operating system”) and how they shape your motivation, decisions and accountability
• Why understanding if you’re toward/away, internal/external, options/procedures etc. changes the way you set goals
• How to work with your menstrual cycle through the menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases to protect your energy
• The difference between male 24-hour hormonal cycles and women’s monthly cycles – and why copying men’s motivation content burns women out
• Energy givers vs energy drainers, boundaries, and why missing a period is never “just a small thing”

This episode is for you if you’re training for a race, building a project, or working on a big dream and you want to do it as a woman with a cyclical body, not a “small man.”
