111. Your Hormones Aren’t the Problem. Your Business Model Is - with Renae Fieck

If you have ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you are constantly pushing yourself to keep up in your business or workplace, this episode will feel like a powerful exhale.

In this conversation, Beki sits down with Renae Fieck, Occupational Therapist, cycle alignment mentor and author of Cycle Sync Your Business. Together, they explore why so many women in business (especially OTs transitioning online) struggle with burnout, lack of consistency, emotional highs and lows, and ongoing fatigue.

The truth is this:
 Your hormones are not the issue.
Your business model is.

Most productivity systems, business strategies, and workplace structures were designed for male hormonal patterns (a consistent 24-hour cycle). Women’s bodies function on a 28-day cycle with phases that shift energy, focus, emotional capacity, and creativity.

When you learn to work with your cycle instead of against it, your business becomes easier, more spacious, more aligned, and more successful.

This episode is perfect for:
 • Occupational Therapists feeling burnt out or overwhelmed
 • Female entrepreneurs wanting more ease and sustainability
 • Women craving success without sacrificing wellbeing
 • OTs transitioning to online private practice or coaching
 • Anyone who wants to understand their hormones, energy and workflow more deeply

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why women are not meant to work the same every day
     • How your menstrual cycle influences clarity, focus and motivation
     • What burnout really means for high-achieving women and OTs in healthcare
     • How to plan content, launches and business tasks around your cycle
     • Why rest is not laziness, but a strategic performance tool
     • How to build a business model that supports your wellbeing and income
