Hello beautiful soul 

Women are NOT designed to be the same every day.

Yet the world expects us to show up, lead, and perform as if we are.

Lisa Weinhold from The Bare Female put it PERFECTLY:

Read that again.

Women are cyclical beings.

Our energy, confidence, and creativity naturally shift throughout the month…

…And yet, we’re still expected to show up with the same energy, the same productivity levels, the same leadership style every single day.

No wonder so many of us feel exhausted, disconnected, and burnt out.

💡 What if instead of resisting these natural shifts, we worked with them?

💡 What if we stopped calling ourselves inconsistent and started seeing our rhythm as an advantage?

💡 What if our greatest leadership strength was in honoring our own cycles?

Over the past couple of weeks, I had so many DMs from women saying:

 "I talk about how my cycle impacts my work with other women all the time."

And I knew I had to create something powerful in response.

That’s why I’m hosting a FREEEEEEE masterclass to share the foundations of cyclical leadership. 

From striving to thriving | Harness your true power as a Woman...

Eventbrite - Ruth Penfold presents From striving to thriving | Harness your true power as a Woman Who Leads - Thursday, 27 February 2025 ...

www.eventbrite.co.uk

This is how the women in the Bloom community who have already heard some of these concepts reacted:

“OMG the things you are bringing are on another level! I have been telling my friends all about it and it all resonates - it is about time someone took this to the work sphere!”
“I LOVE what you're doing with these concepts. I’ve never seen anything like it in a professional setting. Feels like a huge evolution.”
“The link to cyclicality is so interesting. My friends and I talk about this all the time—we’re all struggling at work because of changing hormones. Businesses might be talking more about menopause, but this is so much bigger than that.”
“I hear people in the fitness world talk about cycle syncing, but I’ve never seen anyone using it as a tool for women in the workplace. This is ahead of the game.”

All women (and curious men) are welcome. The session will be recorded also. 

📅 Join me LIVE on Thursday 27th February at 4pm UK time / 11am EST

✨ The four career archetypes (you are going to LOVE THEM)

✨ Why working against your energy is what’s holding you back

✨ How to harness your strengths at every phase

And here’s what I know for sure… 

Once you learn this, you’ll never look at leadership the same way again.

Once you see your seasons, you’ll stop fighting yourself and start thriving.

Once you understand how to work with your power instead of against it, everything shifts.

This is the knowledge we should have been given from day one.

You in?

Yes please, save my spot and send me the recording. 

 

Rooting for you always

Two photos, one woman, a whole different life 🤩
Hello beautiful soul I want to show you something really personal today. Two photos of the same woman, taken fourteen years apart.Two versions of me.Two very different lives. One is my UK driving licence from 2011 — the year I finally left my first husband after twelve years of domestic abuse. The other is my New York licence from 2025 — taken in the city I chose, in the life I built, in the b...
These women have given me LIFE.
Hello beautiful soul Last week, we closed out the very first group of Women Who Lead: Sisterhood One.  And because the Universe just LOVES a bit of poetic timing, there are a few milestones colliding at once:Bloom (my company) turned three this month... yay!I’ve been teaching yoga for nine years... double yay! Three years of building a business around sovereign, values-led leadership.Nine year...
The dawn of a new era for women is upon us ❤️‍🔥
Hello beautiful soul There’s something extraordinary happening right now, and I want to bring you right into the heart of it. Inside The Sisterhood this week, we were joined by the phenomenal Deanna Lloyd — a woman who is setting the world on fire in the field of AI within one of the biggest consulting firms in the world. A fun fact that won’t surprise many of you: Deanna was the very first wo...
