221: How to Hack Your Hormones to Be More Successful in Your Career
What if your period was actually the key to your next promotion? In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Karla Vitrone—former creative director turned femtech founder and talent strategist—to talk about why your reproductive cycle isn’t something to push through, but something to leverage. Karla breaks down how syncing your career with your hormones can help you avoid burnout, improve leadership, boost creativity, and show up more confidently at work. We cover how hormonal misalignment can look like imposter syndrome or exhaustion, the “perimenopause glass ceiling” no one talks about, and how to build a career that works with your biology—not against it. Whether you're just starting out or leading the room, this conversation will change the way you think about your body, your energy, and your potential.
