For the past thirty years, our obsession with doing more in less time has exponentially increased.

We have access to an endless supply of productivity apps and automation tools to help us do more in less time.

Our smartphones can tell us how well we are eating, sleeping, and exercising.

Our 24/7 society and expectations to have our emails and messages responded to almost instantly have meant we are constantly switched on to work.

And there is an abundance of books to read and podcasts to listen to, all created to help us be more productive.

So why is it that we are feeling that we can’t keep up?

If you have been feeling overwhelmed by what’s on the ever-increasing to-do list that runs your business and life, you are not alone. As we all live and breathe this create-more-in-less-time work culture, our productivity standards are sky-high based on what we think we ought to be able to achieve.

It keeps us in busy-ness mode, often spending our days in crisis management and bouncing from task to task.

It’s exhausting.

Added to this, it turns out that most women find it hard to be productive in the way society expects of us.

Female hormones typically work around a 28 day cycle (our menstruation cycle), whereas male hormones work around a 24 hour cycle.

It’s not that women can’t work to a 24 hour clock, but when our work culture has taught us to work in a linear way throughout the year, not taking into account our changing seasons, daylight hours, or our own body’s natural rhythms and hormone cycles, this is when we can burn out.

If you are already experiencing levels of stress (and let’s be honest … most people are; they just don’t recognise the symptoms), symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, aching bones, and lack of sleep, can slow us down and be incredibly frustrating and exhausting.

My midlife transition started in my early 40’s and that’s very normal.

But the summer I turned 42  was the start of five years of horrid hormonal imbalance and peri-menopausal symptoms which I realised couldn’t be fixed with a pill or a two week holiday.

I had to reset, reboot and take some serious rest, and yet I felt really guilty about taking my foot off the pedal.

During this time, I came to realise that doing less isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about doing less of the busy stuff and doing more of what matters to us and the values we want to live by.

And doing it in a way that flows with our natural cycles and energy ebb and flows.

This started me on a journey of exploring and understanding what working less hard actually meant.

Today, I bring everything that I have learned condensed into my practical and easy to follow Ebb & Flow framework.

Discover your natural rhythms and achieve more than you ever thought possible

The Ebb & Flow four stage framework is the foundation for showing leaders and their teams how to build sustainable success in business, life and leadership.

Ebb & Flow is not your typical time management course or productivity programme.

As you being to understand the principles of how Ebb & Flow works, you will be blown away by the amount of time and energy you really do have. However, the real benefits will be the deep connection to self and discovering how to follow your own cycles, ebbs and flow.

You will be shown how to get out of your head and be given the tools to be able to kick the habits of working hard to achieve and overdoing what needs to be done.
