“I am excited to be a part of The Cycle Initiative. When Ryan first approached me about this idea, I thought the tagline, “I’m on my cycle” was very witty and attention grabbing. It means so much more than a woman’s period. It is a movement forward for women young and old from all walks of life. It is about celebrating and embracing our differences from our male counterparts.

For me personally, it is a reminder of the path I have been on, the struggles I’ve overcome, and the future I am meant to lead, as a mom, a wife and an entrepreneur. I was fortunate to be raised with the belief that a woman can do anything a man can do. My mother taught me how to be independent and self-reliant. I was also fortunate to see my father support her in a mostly male-dominant career. My husband also supports my goals and dreams and encourages me to be “On my cycle.”

I look forward to seeing The Cycle Initiative bring together a community of women and men that supports and empowers women in their lives.”
