Maggie McDaris: Don't Let Your Ovulatory Self Make Decisions For Your Luteal Self

Would it surprise you to hear that menstruation can be a great time for detail oriented work, and for making great decisions? On this week’s episode of Period Story, I speak to Maggie McDaris, the CEO and co-founder of Phase, a company that helps women align their work with their menstrual cycle.

In this episode, Maggie shares:

The story of her postpartum adenomyosis diagnosis and what she does to manage the condition
The four phases of the menstrual cycle and how less than 40% of women know when they ovulate
The post-ovulation cliff and why she believes the luteal phase gets a bad rap
The generational divide on what productivity means
Why our periods can be a great time to reflect, make decisions and take action on those decisions
Why the follicular phase is a great time for strategic planning and creativity
The influence of testosterone on communication skills
And of course, the story of her first period

Maggie says that it’s very empowering to know how changes in our physiology and hormones impact how we show up every day and understanding this can help us show up as a better version of ourselves.

Thank you, Maggie!
