Ever looked at something you enthusiastically agreed to three weeks ago and thought: "Who on earth signed me up for this?" Just me? You know the feeling. One week you're booking social events, planning a new fitness routine, deciding to redecorate the spare room and meal prep for the entire month. The next week you're hiding from your phone, eating snacks over the kitchen sink and wondering if everyone could just leave you alone for five minutes. For years I genuinely thought

If you've recently stumbled across the term cycle syncing and found yourself wondering what everyone is banging on about, don't worry—you're not alone. A few years ago, I was exactly the same. I'd heard women talking about planning their work around their cycle, eating different foods during different phases and adjusting their workouts depending on where they were in the month. Honestly? I thought it all sounded a bit "woo woo". Then I read Do Less by Kate Northrup. The book

I’d try to push through, do more, “snap out of it”…but it always made things worse. So I started paying attention. Not in

I Used to Fight My Body Every Month Every month, like clockwork, there was a week when I felt unstoppable — and then another when I could barely find the energy to finish a workout.

How I Learned to Protect My Cycle — and My Privacy I remember the first time I downloaded a period app. It felt revolutionary — like I was finally taking charge of my body. I logged every cramp, craving, and mood swing. It wasn’t just an app; it felt like a digital diary, one that understood me better than anyone else. Then, one morning over coffee, I read an article that made my stomach drop. “Period-tracking apps are quietly sharing sensitive data with advertisers.” It ment
