Your Cyclical
Business
Find your flow | Lead with courage | Know your worth
October 22nd - December 3rd 2024
A seven-week, live, online course with Sophie Jane Hardy,
Business Coach and Host of The Menstruality Podcast
Would you love to be able to follow your own rhythm in your business, instead of feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list?
Do you need support to move through imposter syndrome and inner criticism, so you can do the work you're here to do?
And are you longing for ways to create or grow your business in a way that feels aligned with your values, rather than feeling pushy or salesy?
“This program is exactly what I needed. I feel like I'm syncing up with the song of my soul and how it wants to be expressed. It is so different than what I "thought" I should be doing and truly liberating to discover my authenticity versus what I've been imposing on myself unknowingly."
Michelle Dinu
Energy Healer
"I can't believe how much I have needed this wisdom. My relationship with my cycle has become like a pair of supportive hands lifting me up. I now don't feel so alone running my business, I have a partner to listen to, to bounce ideas off, and it's my cycle! Amazing!"
Libby Chow
Video Producer & Photographer
"This work has given me my backbone. I'm getting more psychotherapy clients and filling my groups with ease. I would recommend the course to anyone starting or running their business, or even if you are only just planting the seed - Sophie will help you blossom, bloom and thrive."
Hayley Barker Smith
Psychotherapist & Breathwork Facilitator
"I'm much more aware of the nuances of my cycle now and I got some great, business planning insights - including business practices that I can do during different phases. Autumn is best for editing and filtering, winter for introspecting, spring for building content and summer to be out and about!"
Sakshi Kalra
Systemic Therapist
What if your menstrual cycle could be your best business coach & guide?
Your Cyclical Business is an online course, and cycle awareness practice community designed to help you to:
- be more creative
- manage your energy
- navigate imposter syndrome and fear of visibility
- help you grow your business in your own unique way - one that works for you and your nervous system.
Our ally is the menstrual cycle.
Together, we’ll explore how to live, work and relate to the world rhythmically – following ancient, timeless cycles and flows that are 100% alive in our bodies. This will be less about effort, and more about resting back into an intuitive wisdom we’ve known all along…
There are three core ways that cycle awareness can help you to create a thriving business:
ONE: OVERWHELM --> SUSTAINABLE FLOW
Menstrual (or lunar) cycle awareness can help you to:
- Manage your energy so you can thrive in your business without burning out.
- Create 'riverbanks' for your creative flow, so you can prioritise effectively and make wise choices about your next best steps.
- Set up tailor-made workflows and systems that alleviate tech and admin overwhelm.
TWO: SELF DOUBT --> RADICAL TRUST
When you connect to the cyclical intelligence of your 'inner seasons', you enhance your natural capacity to lead with courage in your business, so that you can:
- Stop self doubt and imposter syndrome from derailing you by getting your "inner critic" on your side.
- Create a ground of safety and confidence, so you can step up and be more visible, without feeling over-exposed.
- Cultivate your own unique way of working and leading, so you can stop comparing yourself to others, and stay in your own lane.
THREE: PLAYING SMALL --> ALIGNED EXPANSION
As you get to know, befriend and become grounded in your own rhythm and flow you become more skillful and confident at:
- Communicating the power of your work to new people, in a way that harnesses your natural gifts and ways of connecting.
- Marketing your work in gentle, heart-centred, trauma-informed ways that align with your values.
- Clarifying and packaging your offers, setting your prices and creating sales plans that harness your natural gifts and talents.
Hi, I'm Sophie...
Thank you for being here - it would be an honour to get to know you and your work, and help you find your way to implement your cyclical intelligence in your business.
I know that the three shifts I describe above are do-able because I’ve made them myself, and have had the privilege of working with hundreds of purpose-led business leaders, like you, to create more sustainable, impactful and abundant businesses too.
Over the past decade I've been an independent filmmaker, a not-for-profit activist, a social media strategist, a podcast host and a nature-inspired business coach. Along the way I've learned how to make humble resources go a long way, and create big results, without burning out.
I created Your Cyclical Business to share my learnings with you. My aim is to offer you all the support, inspiration, and tools you need to create a thriving business that serves your vision, your community, and most of all, you.

"The core challenge I was facing in my business was how to get and attract clients. I experienced crippling resistance (fear) to promoting myself.
I also wrestled with how to talk about my work in a way that's aligned with me and my unique nature. On the course I discovered that my calling comes with an inbuilt, natural authority.
This insight felt like a whole-body experience in its profundity and impact on me. It's giving me permission I dared not give myself before."
- Sunshine Kamaloni, Racial Diversity Consultant
"I've gained confidence in my capacity to shine in every season using the various qualities and tools shared.
I also have more structure, focus, and awareness, eg: I'm a visionary and this manifests in different ways according to the seasons.
I have a structure that allows me to rest on solid ground no matter what I am doing, I can trust the changing dynamics of my flow."
- Lisa Sutherland, massage therapist

The course helped me learn some very specific things about what work aligns best with what inner season, most importantly though I really discovered the power of giving space dreaming and visioning for the business during my bleed.
Sophie is warm hearted, generous and very experienced - I was constantly touched by her wisdom magic. I would recommend the programme to any founder wanting to understand their own inbuilt productivity map.”
- Louisa Michel, founder of Brighton Lace
“Your Cyclical Business has helped me to trust my energy, and to flow with the different menstrual phases to support periods of creativity and rest in my life. It's a precious resource I know I can keep coming back to. I feel more attuned with the cycles of nature and applying cyclical wisdom to my business makes so much sense. It would be destructive to live in a constant summer, so why do we do it in business? That was a big realisation for me!”

Frequently asked questions
- Can I do this if I'm on hormonal contraception?Yes. If you're on the pill or other hormonal contraception you won't have a menstrual cycle (because the pill prevents ovulation). However you can still participate in the course working with your pill induced cycle, or if you’ve had the injection or have an implant, you can work with the lunar phases. (We'll explore how to do this on the course).
- Can I do this programme if I don't currently have a menstrual cycle?Yes. If you don't currently have a cycle because you are pregnant or breast-feeding, you have a health condition, or you're post-menopausal, you can work with the lunar cycle in place of the menstrual cycle. (We'll explore how to do this on the course).
If you are going through menopause or are post-menopause, you will have your own wisdom from this current life phase to bring to your own business. Although we don't cover this topic in the course, many of the course participants are post-menopause and regularly bring their post-menopausal intelligence to the circle, which is deeply enriching for everyone. - Can I join if I don't have a business yet?If you are still in the visioning phase and you don't have a business yet, this course can help set you up for success in your upcoming venture. Some of what we explore may be theoretical for you, but it will help you to create great foundations.
You will also be able to bring the experiences you have gained from your previous work life to the programme. - How much time will the course take each week?To get the best results from the course, it's a good idea to set aside 3-4 hours a week.
The weekly videos and journalling will take about 1.5 hour in total (the videos are released on Thursdays, and you can watch them at a time that works best for you).
The live calls are 1.5 hours long, on Tuesdays - you’ll receive a recording if you can’t join live.
You can also choose to invest an hour or two connecting, asking questions and receiving support from the community on Circle, or joining a 'peer pod' - this is optional. - How do I know if this course is for me?If you are still trying to decide whether this course is for you, we recommend you watch the introductory webinar so you can do the journalling questions and take the guided journey, and listen to the wisdom of your cycle.
- What is the refund policy?We are not able to offer any refunds for this course.
