Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋

I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪

...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.

I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.

But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.

So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!

For the past 5+ years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

When I found Steph, I had already spent 8 months searching for how to grow from an unprofessional blogger to a professional, recognizable business in my industry.

No one seemed to offer that 'secret sauce'—the guidance you need when you're trying to grow, but don't have enough time to do it all yourself or the money to hire help.

When I saw a bundle that she hosted, I immediately thought, 'This is the woman I need to learn from.'

And I was right!

Steph provided exactly what I had been searching for all year but couldn’t find anywhere else.

She’s been the missing piece I needed to take my business to the next level!"

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?

For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.

She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.

Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.

She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.

What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.

Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

Unlock Your Superpower: Sync Your Cycles with Your Life + Biz with Kate Kordsmeier

December 22, 20243 min read

"It's more about giving yourself grace and permission to feel the way you do." - Kate Kordsmeier

Imagine boosting your energy, productivity, and well-being—all by syncing your lifestyle with your natural rhythms. Sounds magical, right? 🌙✨

On a recent episode of The Simple Business Show™, certified life + business coach Kate Kordsmeier joined Steph Blake to chat about cycle syncing—a simple yet transformative approach to aligning your life and work with either your menstrual cycle or the lunar phases.

What’s Cycle Syncing All About?

It’s like a cheat code for life! By aligning your tasks and routines with the 4 phases of your cycle, you can flow (literally) with your natural energy instead of forcing it.

Here's the breakdown:

🌑 Menstrual Phase/New Moon (Winter): Time to slow down, rest, and reflect. This is your reset button—perfect for brainstorming and big-picture planning.

🌱 Follicular Phase/Waxing Moon (Spring): Energy is rising! Start new projects, dream big, and get those creative juices flowing.

🌕 Ovulatory Phase/Full Moon (Summer): Hello, superstar! 🌟 You’re feeling confident and social—ideal for collaboration, presentations, and shining bright.

🍂 Luteal Phase/Waning Moon (Autumn): Wrap it up! Focus on finishing projects, tying up loose ends, and embracing some extra self-care as you wind down.

How to Get Started

Observe First: Spend a month or two noticing how your energy ebbs and flows. Apps like Stardust can help!

Respect the Flow: Schedule high-energy tasks (like meetings or launches) during your peak phases and save low-energy phases for rest or admin work.

Be Flexible: Life happens, and cycles aren’t always predictable. It’s okay to adjust as you go.

Talk Nice to Yourself: Need a nap? Take it guilt-free. Your body knows best!

The best part? This isn’t about more rules.

It’s about syncing your life to feel good. Whether you’re working with your menstrual cycle or the moon, cycle syncing helps you work smarter, not harder.
