Do you dread your period every month? You're not alone.

Join Katie as she shares the powerful tool that brought her from loathing her menstrual cycle to joyfully embracing it through the life-changing practice of cycle syncing.

In this episode, Katie welcomes Cassandra Mulhern, a cycle syncing expert, creator of Cycle Synced, and mama of two, who sheds light on this empowering approach to hormonal wellness.

Cassandra explains the four phases of the menstrual cycle—menstrual (inner winter), follicular (inner spring), ovulatory (inner summer), and luteal (inner fall)—and how each phase influences our energy, emotions, and physical health. Learn how to harness the unique strengths of each phase to enhance your well-being and family dynamics.

You'll discover practical tips for:

• Tracking your cycle and predicting symptoms
• Aligning your diet and workouts with your hormonal changes
• Improving communication with your family about your needs
• Using cycle syncing to create more balance and joy in your life

Discover how understanding and aligning with the four phases of your menstrual cycle can drastically improve your health, happiness, and productivity!

So we have talked about this before: the average family in the U.S. spends over $9,000 in their baby's first year. And that does not even include childcare!

It feels like there are a million things that your baby needs, especially within their first year. And especially if this is your very first baby.

I would love to help you save some of those 1,000s of dollars with a sustainable baby registry -- lower cost for you and on the environment!

Hi, I'm Katie, a mama, a coach and a podcaster, who is focused on empowering eco-minded mamas to live sustainably: saving $1,000s and living a life that is in alignment with their core values, so that they can care for their families and their environment.

In today's episode, I have created a free template for our sustainable baby registry for you (linked below). Okay, let's get into it and I'll tell you more about it...

The rising cost of living is killer right now, especially when it comes to groceries!

According to data from the Census Bureau in the United States in 2024, families with kids spend an average of $331/week on groceries.

Our family of 3 has been averaging $240/week on groceries over the past year, nearly $100 less than the overall average, and that means we're saving $4,700+ MORE than the average U.S. family on groceries per year!!

So today, I’m going to share with you 3 ways to save at least $20, likely more, on your next grocery run – or $80+ per month!

Hi, I’m Katie – a mama, coach & podcaster focused on supporting eco-minded mamas to live sustainably: saving thousands of dollars and living a life that is in alignment with their core values so they can care for their families and their environment!

Let’s get into it, going from low-to-high cost savings…

"Started the course and so far it's amazing! I was hesitant about having a baby for ages, mainly because I worried about the environmental impact and what it could mean for his future. But now, my little champ is 8 months old, and I'm all in for making our planet cleaner. Module 1 hit me hard—in a good way... Thank you Katie Kurpanek for this eye-opening journey!" -Katie S, member

"Hi mamas! I’m here, because I have been making steps over a decade to reduce my impact. While I have a great community, I have been pretty lonely in this journey. I’d love to hear new ideas and have community with women who have similar values and goals!" -Suzanne P, member

“I'm continuously making an effort to be more sustainable in my life and its been a slow, steady progression. Being newly pregnant and realizing that I'm going to face a whole new host of challenges that would impact my ability to live sustainably has been overwhelming. I loved that Katie could provide a one-stop-shop for learning how to be a confident, sustainable parent.” -Brie Z, course graduate

“Even after doing a ton of my own research, Katie still had a lot of great ideas for sustainable parenting that I hadn't thought of or come across previously.” -Laine N, course graduate
