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.
