Harnessing Your Inner Summer: A Guide to the Ovulatory Phase

I feel like as a part of finding Mom Body Balance,honoring the natural rhythms of our bodies is a perfect please to start.

Cycle syncing is a powerful way to align your movement, nourishment, and self-care with your hormonal shifts, allowing you to move through each phase feeling supported and empowered.

The ovulatory phase, or what we like to call Inner Summer, is a time of radiance, connection, and confidence. Your energy is at its peak, your mood is lifted, and your body is primed for communication and outward expression. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, pregnancy, or postpartum recovery, this phase invites you to tap into your vibrant, magnetic energy.

What’s Happening in Your Body? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

During ovulation, estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH) are at their highest levels, boosting your energy, mood, and libido. You may notice clearer skin, a natural glow, and an increased desire to socialize. This is also when fertility is at its peak, making it an important phase for those trying to conceive or practicing natural family planning.

Your metabolism is running efficiently, meaning you can enjoy lighter meals packed with nutrient-dense foods that fuel your energy and balance your hormones.

How to Sync with Your Cycle During Ovulation🙋🏽‍♀️

Movement: Open Your Heart & Expand Your Energy

This is the perfect time for energizing and expressive movement. Your body craves connection and vitality, so opt for workouts that allow you to step into your power.

Try:

• Heart-opening yoga poses like Camel Pose, Bridge Pose, and Wild Thing to embrace your confidence and openness.

• Dynamic flows like Sun Salutations to circulate energy and boost vibrancy.

• Dance, HIIT, or outdoor movement to engage with the world and feel empowered in your body.

Somatic Healing: Express Yourself Fully

The throat chakra is deeply connected to this phase, making it a powerful time for vocal expression. Many of us, especially mothers, suppress our voices in daily life—now is the time to reclaim your expression.

Try:

• Humming, singing, or chanting to activate your throat chakra.

• Speaking affirmations aloud to embody confidence: “I radiate confidence and vitality.”

• Practicing intentional eye contact with your partner, children, or community to deepen connection.

Mindfulness Rituals: Gratitude & Affirmations

With your energy heightened, this is a wonderful time to practice gratitude and confidence-building rituals.

Try:

• Gratitude journaling: Write down three things you’re grateful for each day.

• Mirror work: Look into your own eyes and affirm, “I am powerful, I am magnetic, I am worthy.”

• Engage in social connection: Call a friend, plan a date night, or have deep conversations with your children or partner.

Nutrition: Light & Nourishing for Hormonal Balance

Your metabolism is at its highest, meaning your body processes food more efficiently. Focus on light, protein-rich, and hydrating foods to support hormone balance.

Best foods for the ovulatory phase:

• Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts) to help metabolize estrogen.

• Lean proteins (salmon, chicken, eggs) to maintain energy.

• Hydrating foods (cucumbers, watermelon, citrus fruits) to cool and refresh.

• Healthy fats (avocados, walnuts, olive oil) to support brain function and hormone balance.

Connection & Community: Lean into Your Magnetic Energy

This is the time to engage with your community, deepen your relationships, and say YES to new opportunities. Whether it’s networking, a social gathering, or strengthening your connection with your children and family, let yourself be seen and heard.

Try:

• Planning a social outing with friends or family.

• Hosting a family dinner with nourishing, hormone-supportive foods.

• Engaging in playful movement with your children—dancing, playing outside, or storytelling.
