About the Guest: Lillian Field is a business mentor, cycle-awareness educator, and founder of WombWise Collective. She helps women entrepreneurs grow purpose-led businesses using hormone-informed systems, regenerative business models, and nervous system alignment. Key Takeaways : Cycle-Aware Strategy: Lillian shares how aligning business workflows with the menstrual cycle unlocks clarity, focus, and energy. Each phase—winter, spring, summer, and autumn—offers unique strengths that can guide communication, planning, creativity, and rest. From Hustle to Harmony: Most business models are built on male hormonal cycles. Women’s 28-day hormonal patterns deserve a different structure—one that respects shifts in drive, mood, and cognitive performance. Nervous System Health & Hormones: Chronic stress shuts down sex hormone production, leading to burnout and irregular cycles. Lillian emphasizes stress regulation as key to hormonal balance and sustained high performance. Entrepreneurship vs. Corporate Cycles: While traditional work cultures prioritize linear output, Lillian encourages flexibility and body-based check-ins—even in team settings—to foster healthier, more productive environments. Ancient Wisdom, Modern Business: Drawing from Moon Lodge traditions, Lillian reminds us that menstruation was once revered. Reclaiming that reverence today allows women to lead from intuition, rest, and truth—not shame.
