Your Hormones Aren’t the Problem | Dr. Aumatma Simmons
Apr 16, 2026
What if everything you’ve been feeling… actually makes perfect sense?
Not because it’s new.
But because it’s been true all along.
In this week’s conversation with Dr. Aumatma Simmons, something really beautiful happened.
We didn’t uncover a brand-new idea.
We confirmed something I’ve been teaching—and living—for years:
Women are not designed to lead, live, or build businesses the way we’ve been taught.
And there’s nothing wrong with us.
The System Was Never Built for Us
For decades, women have been trying to succeed inside systems that were built from a very different blueprint.
Wake up.
Push through.
Stay consistent.
Operate the same way every single day.
That model works beautifully… for men.
Because men operate on a 24-hour hormonal cycle.
Women don’t.
We operate on a 28-day cycle—and our energy, focus, creativity, and intuition shift throughout that cycle.
So when you’ve felt like:
“I should be able to keep up…”
“Why can’t I stay consistent?”
“Why do I feel amazing one week and completely off the next?”
You’re not broken.
You’ve just been trying to follow a system that doesn’t honor how you’re wired.
This Is What I’ve Been Saying All Along
If you’ve been in my world for any length of time, you’ve heard me talk about:
Leading with intuition
Building a business that supports your life
Letting go of hustle-for-the-sake-of-hustle
And choosing alignment over pressure
This conversation didn’t change that.
It gave us language—and science—to explain why that works.
Because your intuition isn’t separate from your body.
It’s deeply connected to it.
And your hormones play a bigger role in that than most of us have ever been taught.
Your Body Is Not the Enemy
For so long, hormones have been labeled as the problem.
Too emotional.
Too unpredictable.
Too much.
But what if your hormones are actually your guidance system?
Dr. Aumatma shared that the moments when you feel the most “off” aren’t random—they’re signals.
Your body is constantly communicating with you.
The question is… are you listening?
Because when we override those signals—when we push through exhaustion, ignore our intuition, or force ourselves into routines that don’t feel right—we create the very burnout we’re trying to avoid.
A Different Way to Lead
This is where everything shifts.
Women don’t lead best through force.
We lead through connection.
Through awareness.
Through intuition.
Through cycles.
And when we allow ourselves to work with that instead of against it, things start to feel very different.
More ease.
More clarity.
More momentum—without the constant push.
The “Fertile Life” Reframe
One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Dr. Aumatma’s concept of a “fertile life.”
Not just creating babies.
Creating ideas.
Creating businesses.
Creating a life that actually feels good.
And here’s the key:
Creation doesn’t come from burnout.
It comes from alignment.
From removing what’s in the way.
From listening to your body.
From supporting yourself in ways that actually work for you.
You Don’t Need to Fix Yourself
If you’ve ever felt like you needed to be more disciplined… more consistent… more “on it”…
This is your reminder:
You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need to understand yourself.
Because when you do?
You stop fighting your nature.
You start trusting your rhythm.
And you build a life and business that actually supports who you are.
Not who you’ve been told to be.
The Question to Sit With
Instead of asking:
“What’s wrong with me?”
Try asking:
“What is my body trying to tell me right now?”
Because that answer?
That’s where your power lives.
