Episode 682: The Satisfied Woman with Alanna Kaivalya

This week, I’m joined by Alanna Kaivalya, PhD,  author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman, expert on mythology, psychology, and spiritual empowerment. Alanna was someone I could’ve talked to for hours. From the second I learned her book title, I knew I had questions. She brings insight on what it actually looks like to live a fully embodied, empowered life as a woman, and how we can unlearn the conditioning that tells us we need to overfunction, overgive, and override our truth in order to be loved. Throughout our conversation, Alanna breaks down the truth about self-abandonment, why so many strong women end up in relationships that drain them, and how reclaiming our feminine energy is the key to living a life that actually feels satisfying.  What you’ll hear about in this episode: Why women tend to overgive in their lives and relationships and how to recognize self-abandonment when it's happening (4:49) How dropping the “mask of masculinity” led Alanna to reclaim her energy and live more authentically (15:57) Why strong, capable women often find themselves in unhealthy relationships and how to shift the dynamic or walk away (21:13) The interplay between masculine and feminine energies in a relationship, and how it looks when it actually works (34:24) Resources: Devotion: A 6-Month Private Coaching Experience Andrea on Instagram @heyandreaowen Alanna’s Resources to Becoming a Satisfied Woman Alanna’s website Alanna’s book, The Way of the Satisfied Woman Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
