In this solo episode, I’m getting really real about my experience navigating the “soft girl era” and the ways it almost made me lose herself entirely.
From moving across the country and completing my Pilates certification to untangling the spiritual programming that labeled my ambition as “too masculine,” I’m sharing a raw unfiltered account of reclaiming my voice, my vision, and the part of me that’s always been driven to go, do, and become.
Whether you’ve dabbled in the neo-spiritual space, been told to “be more in your feminine,” or just feel like you’re drifting away from your fire, this episode is a must-listen.
In today’s episode, I cover:
Why I moved away from the neo-spiritual space
- The dangers of romanticizing passivity in the name of femininity
- How the “soft girl era” disconnected me from her goals, health, and sense of self
- The difference between balance and harmony, and why high performers need the latter
- Why abandoning structure isn’t healing (and what real integration looks like)
I’m NOT anti-softness. I AM very pro reclamation of the ambitious woman’s right to FUCKING GO FOR IT without shame.
