Today I’m joined by the powerhouse that is Jorgie (aka Florence of Flo Mentoring) — Jorgie Florence is a Sport & Exercise Scientist and founder of Flo Mentoring, helping high-achieving, active women break free from burnout through cycle-synced training, and a guided path to feeling like themselves again. With over 8yrs in the health & fitness industry, and a mission to challenge the male-centred fitness model, she empowers women to train in alignment with their bodies, reclaim their energy, and achieve sustainable performance - for life, not just for a season.

This isn’t just about squats and sweat. We dive into the juicy crossover between libido, lifting, and living cycle-smart. Think of it as a permission slip to stop burning yourself out in the gym and start training in sync with your body’s natural rhythm (instead of fighting against it).

Inside this convo you’ll hear:

💥 Why most high-achieving women unknowingly train themselves into burnout (and what to do instead)

💥 The truth about cycle-sync training (and why it’s less woo-woo, more science than you think)

💥 How stress + high-intensity workouts can actually wreck your energy, hormones, and sex drive

💥 Practical ways to adjust your training during each “season” of your cycle — without losing strength or results

💥 The link between hormones, recovery, and libido (yes, your deadlifts and desire are connected)

💥 Simple hacks for sleep, nutrition, and recovery that actually stick — even if you’re ADHD, neurospicy, or just wired AF

This is the episode you’ll want to save and send to your gym bestie — especially if you’ve ever walked out of a “stress release” workout only to feel more wrecked than refreshed.
