24 hours vs 28 days
A male hormonal cycle lasts about 24 hours. A woman's* average cycle is 28 days. Essence is here to challenge society's default to the 24-hour cycle and help women and people with cycles reach their full potential in the workplace and in life.
Why do we need women's health benefits?

*When we say women and female, we embrace all menstruating people, gender non-conforming, and LGBTQ+-identified individuals

I love the idea and realization! I finally found a tool that helps me organize all my tasks and find time in my calendar to do all the things I've been planning for so long such as working out and meditating. Now I work more efficiently and have plenty of time for myself and my family.
