As a Lion, you’re a powerhouse in the mornings, bringing focus, bold decision-making, and strategic vision to kickstart each day. Your ability to set a strong direction early on makes you a model of productivity and balance.
1. Morning Powerhouse:
You’re a natural early riser, which means you’re primed to tackle your hardest tasks before most people have even had their coffee.
2. Goal-Crusher:
With your strong focus in the morning hours, you’re able to knock out goals and stay laser-focused on the big picture before distractions set in.
3. Visionary Planner:
Your energy peaks early, making you an expert at setting the day’s direction and mapping out strategies when your mind is sharpest.
4. Fearless Decision-Maker:
You’re bold and decisive, ready to make quick, confident choices and lead with clarity—a natural trait of a morning Lion on the move.
5. Role Model for Balance:
You know how to work hard and wind down early, showing others that getting things done and taking time for yourself aren’t mutually exclusive.
Here are the top three challenges you might face as a Lion chronotype woman leader – especially if you are in a male-dominated industry, when it comes to work-life balance, stress, and time management:
1. Maintaining Momentum in the Afternoon: As a Lion, your energy peaks in the morning and may dip in the afternoon. In high-pressure environments, where the pace remains intense all day, you might feel the pressure to keep up, which can lead to burnout if you push beyond your natural rhythm.
2. Navigating Late-Day Meetings and Events: Male-dominated industries often have late-day meetings or social events, which may clash with your early-start, early-finish routine. This expectation to stay engaged beyond your most productive hours can feel draining and impact your personal time and recovery.
3. Balancing Assertiveness and Adaptability: Your natural decisiveness and focus are assets, but in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, you may face pressure to be adaptable at times that don’t align with your energy peaks. This can lead to stress if you’re frequently asked to make important decisions or perform high-stakes tasks during off-peak hours.
You’re the morning firestarter, igniting energy and focus that propels your team forward.
But the shadow side of your bold, driven superpower? That early intensity can sometimes feel misaligned with the nonstop demands that stretch into the late afternoon.
And I know that feeling—when the pressure to match a rapid-fire pace builds up, and that urge to keep up with the speed around you sets in. But here’s what I’ve learned: trying to go full-throttle against your natural rhythm often leads to exhaustion and on the express lane to burnoutville which is EXACTLY what happened to me. I so do not want that for you.
So keeping up with every demand isn’t the answer. Staying true to your unique rhythm is how you’ll keep your light shining and lead with resilience.
To create more spaciousness in your workflow and expand in ways you haven’t yet imagined, the answer isn’t to run faster—it’s to actually SLOW DOWN by creating business systems align with your biology.
I know, I know. You’re thinking, “Lynn, are you serious? SLOW DOWN? I am soo behind on emails, I have 1,000 deadlines due this week alone, and I haven’t even thought about next quarters strategic planning. Slowing down sounds like falling behind!”
I get it because I’ve been there too. But when I stopped and started integrating business systems with my biology, everything shifted. I work a lot less and make a lot more. Oh and I stopped putting fun things on the back burner and am actually ENJOYING my life again. Which boomerangs back into my work.

I grew a small engineering division to a multi-million dollar national level.
I LOVE putting on Masterclasses, doing speaking engagements, and teaching Bio-Leadership™ strategies
I work a lot less, and make a lot more. I don’t dread Mondays and I am intentional with my time starting with the things that make me happy in life.
But it wasn’t always Puppies and Rainbows.
Being a high performer, we often wear many hats. We are paving roads that haven’t even been walked or more appropriately ran before.
Our heads are down in the deep work and when we finally do take a pause, days, month even years have gone by. It can affect our health and wellbeing-it sure did mine. It makes us question: Where did our Whys go? What are we doing all of this for anyway?
It was only when I gave myself permission to unlearn what I have been taught and tap into my female intuition that I started to redefine what a work week felt like.
I gained Clarity, started eating for my biology, reframed traditional approaches to business systems, and held myself accountable.
I looked forward to opening my emails [SHOCKING I know], my calendar didn’t show back to back meetings anymore, and I was happier, lighter. I was running the business, it wasn’t running me, and people started to notice.
When getting together with other women leaders, we would discuss the heavy hitters like Balance, stress, and time, but more often than not the dialog would meander to more speak easy realms of conversation like spirituality and emotional boundaries. Things we need to prioritize more when we are not distracted with work.
I started the LeadHerShift podcast: Women leading in 5D to share what I have learned, encourage you to ask powerful questions of yourself, and tap into your inner knowing. I want your Soul to have the best Human Experience here and now, not when you “RETIRE”.
I love learning, researching, outlining, and recording forward thinking topics that you can implement in your career and life and pass on to others.
I am beyond grateful you have chosen to take a listen.
