40. LIVING IN FLOW ~ Kasia Stiggelbout on Tech Boundaries, Creating a Product, Feminine Cycles, and Shifting how we Approach Productivity

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Kasia Stiggelbout. Kasia is a Soto Zen student, podcast host, and founder of In Flow, a women’s wellness brand rooted in feminine cycles. In Flow's first product, a planner, helps women align their schedules, movement routines, and habits with the natural ebb and flow of their cycles to transition from burnout to flow. *In Flow is designed inclusively for all women, whether they bleed or not. Kasia’s inspiration for In Flow arose after years of hustle culture led to a severe autoimmune flare, prompting her to rethink her approach to productivity. In 2021, she left a decade-long tech career to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, which sparked a cascade of shifts. Kasia is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a former Executive Director of TEDxSF, and host of The Other Way, a podcast that explores alternative paths in spirituality, life, health, and business. In her free time, she enjoys spending time in nature, connecting with her husband + pup, and going off-grid (with her LightPhone). In our episode today, we talk about her origin story and how we met, her previous career working in Ad Tech as a Product Manager, being a “recovering type A”, her podcast The Other Way and her company In Flow, the In Flow Planner, tech boundaries, creating a product, we speak about her journey and perspective as her mom has been diagnosed with cancer, balancing where we are in our cycles and the discipline of maintaining a meditation practice, resistance. She also shares so much valuable advice for those of us who are seeking a new job, wanting to create a product, or also feel like a “recovering type A”! Thank you, Kasia! We love you!
