22: Balancing The Inner Masculine

What does it really mean to balance the masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) energies within us? How can noticing when these energies are out of sync help us create more ease and harmony in our lives?

Welcome to episode 22 of the Embodied: Step Into You Podcast with your hosts Paula Scatoloni and Leslie Rhyne. In this episode, Paula and Leslie explore the art of finding harmony between the active, outward yang energy and the receptive, inward yin energy we all carry. They reflect on how an over-reliance on masculine energy - often showing up as perfectionism, control, or even aggression - can throw us off balance and discuss practices that restore flow and ease.

Through personal stories and real-life examples, they unpack how these imbalances show up in our daily routines and share simple, actionable ways to nurture both energies. Topics include tuning into nature’s rhythms, practising stillness, accepting compliments, and exploring exercises to foster connection and equilibrium.

It’s a conversation about coming back to center - where strength and softness meet.
