There’s a dangerous narrative floating around that feminism killed femininity—and it’s time to set the record straight.
In Part 2 of the Feminine Awakening Series: Rebel, Rise, Radiate, I dive into the misunderstood relationship between feminism and femininity, and why this myth not only distorts history but also keeps us disconnected from our deepest power.
Before feminism, women weren’t “in their feminine.” They were oppressed, silenced, and denied access to both feminine and masculine energy. Feminine traits—intuition, creativity, surrender, emotional wisdom—were so feared that those who embodied them were persecuted as witches or heretics.
So what did feminism actually do?
It created the portal for feminine energy to heal, rise, and be reborn. By empowering women to step into their masculine—building rights, laws, and structures—it carved out the safe container the feminine always needed to thrive.
Inside this episode of The Femme Cast, you’ll learn:
🎤 Why the idea that feminism destroyed femininity is one of the most harmful lies of our time
🎤 How feminism sparked the rebirth of feminine energy after centuries of suppression
🎤 Signs you may be disconnected from your feminine (like overthinking, control-seeking, and inability to rest)
🎤 Why balancing masculine and feminine energy unlocks your full power
🎤 How systemic oppression still attempts to repress the feminine—and why your feminine superpowers are needed now more than ever
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can be both feminine and feminist, the answer is YES. Fully embodying your femininity is one of the most radical acts of feminism.
Tune in now to reclaim your feminine power and discover why feminism didn’t kill femininity—it saved it.

MARIA @THEFEMMECAST (00:00):
Hey guys, what is up?
And welcome back to the show.
Welcome if you're new.
Today is part two of theFeminine Awakening Edition,
Rebel Rise and Radiate.
Um today's topic is a littletriggering for me.
I'm not gonna lie.
Like I I hear so much of thisonline, and here's the thing
(00:22):
like I hear a lot of stuffonline sometimes that I have a
real issue with, like a lot.
Um and you know, I try not tosay anything, and I definitely
try like there's only been acouple of times when I've
actually like openly stood outand really like not let someone
have it, but you know, reallydisagreed with them.
(00:43):
And you know, I always I alwaystry and kind of see the light
in what everybody else issharing, but also then kind of
but also right and give myperspective.
But there's really only been acouple of times where I was
like, actually, like, no, you'renot getting away.
Like, no, no, no, no, no, no,no.
Because listen, I'm not, I'mnot, I'm not out there saying
(01:08):
that, you know, I know betterthan everybody else.
Like, we're all learning.
You know what I mean?
We're all learning, we're allhealing, we're all growing.
I'm gonna learn stuff tomorrowthat is gonna be like
eye-opening for me, and I'mgonna realize where maybe I've
been wrong about certain things,but there are certain things
that I know that I'm rightabout, and this is one of them.
(01:29):
And, you know, in this person'sdefense, I think, you know, I
think when they when they kindof put this message out there,
you know, if you read The FinePrint, we kind of essentially
kind of believe the same thing,but it was just the it was just
the way the message was put outinto the world that I had a
massive issue with.
And it's this message that, youknow, feminism killed
(01:54):
femininity and continues to killfemininity in women today.
And what when I hear this, evenif it's like even if someone is
just putting it out on a postas shock value, but then you
know, kind of talks it back inthe caption, which is kind of
what happened here, right?
(02:15):
And I'm not gonna name theperson because I think I
actually do think she's great,and I think she's a great
healer, and I think she's agreat coach, and she's she's
doing some amazing fucking shit.
Um, but this this particularthing, I I can't agree with.
Like I can't.
Um, and even if you know, shedid walk it back in the caption,
the message that it sends,because you know, and I know,
there's so many times we don'tread the caption, especially
(02:38):
when there's like this big boldquote and this big bold
statement, you know, in the reelor in the carousel or whatever.
A lot of times we don't evenbother going into the caption.
We just let that in it thatseeing that in the caption with
in the in the post withoutactually going into the caption
can create a perspective shift.
(03:00):
And that is dangerous.
And we have to be so carefulbecause, guys, guys, listen to
me.
Feminism did not killfemininity.
Okay.
And, you know, feminism is abig part of why we're able to do
the things that we're able todo today.
Was it perfect?
No, are we done?
(03:21):
Our healing and our evolution?
No, we're midway.
We're halfway through.
And I think people, you know,often forget that.
Sorry, I'm picking like hairs,like, I don't know, my hair's
like getting stuck all over myface.
Um, and that's why you'reprobably hearing a lot of
shifting and my bracelet'smoving all the time.
Apologize.
But anyway, um, we're not done.
We're not done.
(03:41):
Like, we're not done ourhealing, we're still
mid-evolution, and so there'sstill a lot for us to learn and
a lot, a lot of stuff for us toheal, and a lot of ways for us
to grow.
And I think people forget aboutthat.
And and and feminism gettingall this um flack for killing
femininity and women, nothingcould be farther from the truth.
(04:02):
And I'm gonna share my take onall of this.
You can choose to agree ordisagree, it's entirely up to
you.
Um, you know, but there are afew things that I've learned on
this journey that I think I'munwavering on.
And that is, you know, thisbelief that in order to be the
(04:23):
most powerful expression ofourself, right?
And I'll start with this.
In order for us to be the mostpowerful expression of ourself,
and this goes from men andwomen, okay, men and women
alike, we need to be able toharness the power of our
feminism and our masculinewithin its natural balance.
(04:43):
Now, everybody will leanslightly more to one than the
other.
So some of us will lean moremasculine, some of us will
naturally lean more feminine.
I mean, I don't want to getinto, you know, it doesn't
matter whether you identify as aman or a woman or non-binary,
(05:04):
feminine and masculine energy isavailable to both of us.
All of us.
I say both.
I'm sorry, I apologize for thatbecause that actually came
across as um there's someconditioning right there,
thinking that there's only twosexes, right?
So masculine and feminine isavailable to all of us,
regardless of how we identifyum, or you know, or don't, or
(05:28):
choose not to, that's entirelyup to you.
But masculine and feminineenergy is still available, and
you'll lean more towards one andor the other, and that has
nothing to do with whether ornot you're male or female.
Typically, yes, most femaleswill lean more heavily to
feminine, and most men will leanmore heavily to masculine, but
(05:53):
that is not a what's it called?
That is not true for everybody.
And that has that also hasnothing to do with with sexual
orientation.
I've seen some very strong, um,I've met some very strong
heterosexual men who were verycomfortable leaning into their
(06:14):
feminine.
I've also met some verypowerful heterosexual women, I'm
myself included, who are verycomfortable leaning into their
masculine.
And it's actually one of thethings, um, which, you know, as
we get into this, I'll explainwhat I'm talking about.
But it's actually one of thethings that makes me a great
healer for women is because I amable to hold space.
(06:35):
I am able to create thatfoundation and that um that
platform for healing, uh, thatsafe space for healing that
women need that sometimes theworld doesn't give them so
easily, you know?
Um, so um, so let's talk aboutthat, right?
Because it is important, right?
So masculine and feminineenergy exists in both, men and
(06:56):
women, non-binary.
Doesn't matter what youidentify as, doesn't matter
sexual orientation.
Each of us have masculine andfeminine, and some of us will
lean slightly more towards oneand the other, but ultimately we
need to be able to harness thepower of both in order to be in
our most empowered state.
When we are in relationshipwith each other, we tend to be
(07:16):
in relationship with people whoare our mirror opposite when it
comes to our masculine andfeminine balance.
So if we lean more feminine, wewill naturally attract partners
that lean slightly moremasculine and vice versa.
Okay.
Um now, let me just start bysaying there is nothing more
heartbreaking than, you know,hearing people, especially
women, say how feminism killedfemininity.
(07:40):
Um, because the reality isnothing could be farther from
the truth.
And if you've ever felt like,you know, you couldn't be, and I
know I went through this phasewhere I felt like, you know, I
was always an I was always avery like um, I can't get the
words.
I was always a very vocalfeminist.
(08:00):
Okay.
Um, but I also very muchbelieved in my own feminine
energy and power.
And I I, you know, as as as Igrew and as I evolved and as I
healed, I realized that therewas so much to be gained from
tapping into our sacred femininesuperpowers, which if you
haven't watched last week'sepisode, which was a
masterclass, definitely go checkthat out where I talked about
(08:22):
the nine sacred femininesuperpowers that will absolutely
change your life and make youas magnetic as fuck.
I kid you not.
I'm telling you, life-changing,simple, energetic practices.
Okay.
But for the longest time, Ifelt like I couldn't do both.
I needed to either be one orthe other.
And the world is verypolarizing that way, right?
(08:44):
Um, but to reiterate, you know,feminism did not kill
femininity, it actually createda portal for femininity to heal
and rise and to be with rebornwithin each and every one of us,
men and women.
Because I will tell you rightnow that like the world
desperately needs it.
(09:04):
It desperately needed it thenand desperately needs it now.
Desperately.
Um, which is why I launchedlast week's episode.
But up until the feministmovement, you know, the world
was just not available forfemininity.
The women, women in general,like let's focus on women right
now for the this part of theconversation.
(09:24):
Women prior to feminism and thewomen's rights movement were
not feminine women at all.
They were oppressed, they wereasleep, they were controlled,
they had no power, they didn'thave access to masculine or
feminine power.
Sure, there were someexceptions.
And I think, you know, when wesaw the rise, when we saw World
(09:45):
War II happen and women, womenhappened, you know, having to go
into the workforce because allthe men had gone to war.
Um, I think that's when youreally started to see the
biggest part of this shift,right?
Because women started to seethat there's this whole world
out there that, you know, iskind of kept from them all this
time, you know?
(10:05):
Um, so for men and women, youknow, again, feminine energy,
women were oppressed, yes, butalso let's talk about feminine
energy.
I believe feminine energy upuntil then was very oppressed
because not only was it not okayfor women to be in their
feminine, and if you want toargue with me on this, why do
you think, you know, women'senergy women's feminine energy
(10:28):
is not just about being homebaking cookies and being there
for the kids?
Yes, women do that.
And if that is their choice,that is great.
I I honor them for that, youknow.
I I, you know, I wish I wouldhave had children to like
smother and like spoil, but youknow, life led me down a
different path, and I've madepeace with that.
(10:48):
Um but you know, women who werein their femininity, who were
in their feminine power,intuition, healing, um, you
know, um, surrender.
Um, you know, all the thingsthat we talked about in the
(11:09):
sacred feminine superpowers inlast week's episode, they were
burnt at the stake.
They were buried alive.
They were like, like, like putin put into lakes with tied to
rocks, and you know, letting Goddecide if he was gonna heal
them, like save them, or letthem drown, because you know,
they were they were they werethey were witches, right?
(11:30):
Witches, um, heretics, youknow.
Um, and so it wasn't okay forthem to be in their feminine
energy at all.
Um men were allowed to be intheir masculine energy, and
that's all they were allowed tobe, and they weren't allowed to
be in their feminine either.
You know, they were supposed tobe strong, they were supposed
to be the providers, they weresupposed to be the hunters and
(11:53):
the gatherers and the builders,and you know, um they were never
given the safety to be in theirfeminine.
And so, you know, here are themen walking around all up in
their masculine and completewith no access to their
feminine, and then women cut offfrom both their masculine and
their feminine and just beingsubmissive.
(12:14):
And that is not what feminineenergetics is about, and that's
not what being in your feminineis about.
Yes, there are times to submitand to rest and to and to go
within, but you know, as women,again, we have to learn to lean
on both.
There are times when we do needto lean into our masculine, we
need to balance those twoenergies.
Um, and the the sad part isthat the world was designed, it
(12:38):
was systemically designed tooppress feminine energy, to
suppress feminine energy, and tosuppress women in general from
accessing any personal powerwhatsoever.
Um, and this was, you know,based on patriarchal ideologies
(12:59):
who, you know, wanted to kind ofkeep, I believe, everyone under
their control, because I don'tthink men had any more freedom
than we did, not you know, beingdenied being in their feminine
energy.
You know, that was a strugglefor them too, you know.
And I can you can see you cansee the the damage that that
(13:19):
kind of conditioning created.
I I can see it in in in theolder men in my life, I can see
it in my father, I can see insome of the other men that you
know I grew up around.
There were there they were sofilled with pain and shame and
animosity and rage from theirown failures, from their own
unprocessed grief and trauma,that it made it very hard for
(13:42):
them, especially as they getolder.
You know, I'm seeing it now inmy dad.
It is very hard for them toactually, I guess, come to terms
with um, you know, how theyhave moved through life and and
and you know, all the stuff thatthey've left kind of
unprocessed and and unhealedwithin them, right?
It's all kind of coming up tothe surface now.
So, um, you know, so just to,you know, women were oppressed
(14:08):
prior to the feminist movement,yes, but feminine energy was
oppressed across the board formen and women.
And so here's the thing, right?
We did need to go through anevolution and we did need to go
through a healing collectively.
And I'm not just talking aboutwomen now, collectively, we
needed to go through a healingand an evolution.
Because I have done a lot ofwork around trauma, I know that
(14:32):
trauma, the only way trauma getshealed is through safety.
Okay, creating a safe space forthe emotions to be felt and to
be released and to be movedthrough so that, you know, you
can kind of come back tohomeostasis, right?
What happened, and I'm pausingbecause I really want to make
sure that I articulate thisproperly and I do have notes,
(14:55):
but you know, I'm also trying tokind of you know speak from the
heart when I do this.
I don't want to, I don't wantto read this.
But what happened, you know,was you know, we did need to go
through this evolution and wedid need to, as a collective,
tap back into our feminine.
But the feminine energy,because it had been oppressed
for so long, because it had beenpunished for so long, because
(15:17):
it had been hated and and andjudged and and you know,
basically persecuted forcenturies, we needed to create a
safe space for it to come out.
And because, you know, I guessmaybe women had more, you know,
(15:38):
we did have access to ourfeminine easier than men did.
Maybe we were closer to it.
I don't know.
I don't know what the the Idon't know what the logic behind
that piece is.
That part I'm still trying tofigure out, and that's why I'm
struggling to articulate this.
But if you think of it thisway, feminism was how women,
because it was mostly women,especially in the beginning,
(16:00):
stepped into our masculine andsaid, Hey, we're gonna claim
this.
We are going to claim thisenergy, and we are going to
access it because just the waythe men have been doing for
years, we realize we have accessto it too.
So we are going to access itand we are going to shift and
(16:21):
change the world so that we canput an end to the systemic
oppression of women and create asafe space, a safe foundation,
a safe container for women, butalso for the feminism, for the
feminists with for the femininewithin each of us, men and
(16:43):
women, to be reborn andrebirthed into this world and to
heal from centuries of thisoppression and persecution and
attack, okay?
And so, you know, feminists,the feminist movement became a
powerful portal for healing.
Because now what we have, youknow, after you know, we've
(17:05):
changed some of the laws, we'vechanged the world, we've changed
the workplace, we've changedwhat women have access to, the
information they have access to.
Um we created the safe spacesportal for the feminine to rise,
to heal, and to be rebornagain.
None of this work that we areseeing online today in the
(17:29):
online spaces, feminineembodiment practices and blah,
blah, blah, and goddess energyand all this stuff, there would
be no place for at all in theworld if it hadn't been for the
feminist movement.
Now, are we done?
No, we're still in theevolution because we, and this
(17:50):
is the point where we need toget to as a humanity, right?
I'm talking men and women, westill need to balance these two
energies within ourselves.
So we need to balance and honorand be able to step into our
masculine and as well as ourfeminine.
Now, for many women, it stillfeels scary to fully trust and
be in your feminine because, youknow, many of us grew up in a
(18:12):
world where, you know, wecouldn't count on the men in our
lives to be there for us andprovide for us or take care of
us or create a safe space forus, right?
Equally just as scary for a lotof men to lean into their
feminine because they've nevergrown up grown up in an
environment where it was safefor them to express their
feelings, to be in theiremotions, to make intuitive
(18:33):
decisions as opposed to logic tolet go, to let go of control,
and to to to to just you know bein a space of allowing, right?
And so we're still learning inall of this.
And any healer out there, anycoach, any whatever that tells
you as a woman that the key to,you know, the reason why a lot
(18:59):
of your relationships haven'tbeen working is because, you
know, you've lost, you've cutoff, you need to be all you
always need to be in yourfeminine, you've cut off access
to your feminine energy.
I have a couple of things tosay to that.
Number one, in order for the inorder, we need to heal.
We need to heal through a lotof the trauma that the feminine,
the feminine has experienced.
(19:21):
And that can only be donethrough safety.
So we still need to create thissafe space for the feminine to
heal and move through grief,shame, um, oppression, judgment,
rejection, persecution, okay?
In all of us.
So, and I don't know why, youknow, women always get blamed
(19:43):
for the, you know, you know, whyconnection and relationships
have kind of fallen apart.
You know, we've all we've allplayed a part in that because
we've all we've all forcenturies been disconnected from
our feminine men and women.
Like this is this is for mentoo.
Like, this is not a woman or aman or a non-gender or binary or
whatever thing.
This is a human thing.
(20:05):
And we all need to be able tobe comfortable to be in our
masculine and our feminineenergies.
And that is when, you know,when we when we balance our
masculine and our feminine, weliterally become that bridge
between heaven and earth.
We literally create heaven onearth.
That that I believe is the goalin all of this.
(20:25):
But in order to do that, weneeded the feminist movement so
that the feminine energy can bereborn and and and and take up
space again in our collectivereality.
And so we couldn't be heretoday if it wasn't for feminine.
But the work is still ongoing.
We still need to master and besafe being in our feminine and
(20:48):
being in our masculine, both asmen and both as women.
We also need to be able to holdspace for the other.
So we as women need to becomfortable with men being in
their feminine, seeing men beingmore emotional, more
vulnerable, making moreintuitive decisions, you know,
(21:09):
taking time to rest, to be insurrender, you know, and men,
men too have to be morecomfortable with women who are
oh, you know, who are expressingand being in their masculine,
who are taking charge, who aremaking moves, who are building
structures, who are makingmovements.
Like we have to be able to holdspace for ourselves and each
(21:33):
other to hold both energies.
And any healer, any coach thattells you that you have to be
focused on being in one and notthe other is actually keeping
you in a disempowered statebecause as humans, we are only
powerful when we have access toboth.
The male is the physical, thethe the feminine is the the the
(21:54):
energetic.
Together, these two supporteach other.
And when we have both, when welearn to harness the power of
both, that's when we have thepower to literally create
worlds.
Like there is no stop, there'sno, you have no idea how
powerful we actually are when wecan tap into both energies.
(22:16):
Um, the biggest thing I thinkfor all of us is to, you know,
pay attention to where we swingmost.
Like, do you swing moremasculine?
Do you swing more feminine?
And, you know, try to put anumber to it.
Like I know this is a verylogical approach, but like
literally, like I we've we'vebeen grown up to do things, you
(22:38):
know, we've grown up to dothings in logic.
We've we've grown up to doingthings in the practical.
So use that.
Use that to your advantage,okay?
Take a look at how you'respending your time and how you
spend your energy, you know, howoften throughout the day are
you taking time to rest, tomeditate, to be in your
feelings, to be in yourintuition, to surrender, to
trust, to give over control.
And how much of your day areyou spent building, thinking,
(23:02):
strategizing, working, building,um, and so forth.
And and if you can put likeloosely put a percentage to it
and see where you can make someadjustments so that you can, and
it'll be uncomfortable atfirst, especially if you're not
used to it.
Like it'll be, you know, I'mfor everyone, it'll be
uncomfortable.
See where you can make someadjustments to spend more time
(23:24):
evolving some of the practicesin the opposite energy where
you've not spent enough time.
And if you're somebody who doestend to um be more in there
heavily in their masculine, goahead and check out last week's
episode.
And even, you know, you know,guys, like even as women, like
we may, like, I can think backto a time where I was like,
yeah, I'm a girl's girl.
(23:46):
You know, I like to get mynails done.
I like to get my hair done.
I like to have a nice outfiton.
I like to always like a cutepurse and cute shoes, but I was
still in my masculine.
Like that had not, that hasnothing to do with it.
I was still in my masculinebecause I was working and
hustling and grinding nonstop.
Um, I was constantly trying tocontrol everything.
(24:06):
I was constantly overthinking.
I was constantly secondguessing.
I was constantly strategizinghow I was gonna get to that next
step, whether it was in mycareer or in a relationship or
whatever, whatever the goal was,right?
Um, I had a very and I and Iand I didn't realize it then.
But that discomfort with beingstill, with having nothing to
(24:33):
do, with being able to sit in aquiet space and not get
completely like fucked up.
Like, like, oh my god, likewhat am I gonna do with my time?
What am I gonna do with myhands?
What am I gonna?
I gotta turn on the TV, I gottago do something, I gotta go
meet a friend for coffee, Igotta go for a walk, I gotta do
a Pilates class, I gotta do areformer.
Oh when you can sit withyourself and you can just be in
(24:56):
stillness, like if you can't dothat, that's a sure sign you're
uncomfortable being in yourfeminine.
You know, if you're if yourto-do list is so long that you
couldn't get through it in aweek, you know, if you keep
saying you're gonna do somethingfor yourself and and you you
get through all your to-dos, andby the time all your to-dos
(25:18):
you're done, it's like the endof the day, you're so burnt out,
you're exhausted, you flop infront of the TV until it's time
for bed, you're having a hardtime being in your feminine.
Very hard.
If you can't relax untileverything on your to-do list is
done, you can't be in yourfeminine.
If you can't um uh yeah, Idon't know, silence the
(25:43):
overthinking and the overworrying and and the
over-analyzing and just let itgo and trust that things will
work out to the highest andgreatest good and not give it
another thought, you have a hardtime being in your feminine.
If you constantly second-guessyour decision or afraid that
you're gonna make the wrongdecision, um if you if you make
a decision and then immediatelyregret it, like two seconds
(26:05):
later, you have a hard timebeing in your feminine.
You do.
Um and these these are thesuperpowers that you know people
like, you know, we take forgranted, right?
And even in school, like noneof us are taught how to be in
our feminine, we're all taughthow to be in our masculine, you
know.
Um the entire system has beendesigned to keep us in a
(26:32):
disempowered state because thekey to all of us accessing
unlimited amounts of personalpower is to tap in back into our
feminine and learn to balancethose two energies out.
Okay, now we've had a lot ofpractice being in our masculine
men and women.
Now it's time to really harnessand empower the feminine and
(26:52):
really learn to make help thoseenergies work together within
us.
Okay, and you know understandit's an evolution over time.
No, we are not done.
Yes, the feminist movementabsolutely cleared a path and
(27:15):
created that safe portal ofhealing and transformation, but
we are not done.
Like there is still a lot ofsystemic oppression.
Like I two years ago, when wasit, two years ago, was still
making 20, 30k less per yearthan the male equivalent working
(27:37):
with me.
Like systemic oppression ofwomen and and femininity is
still there.
You know, this was anenvironment that you know swore
to do things differently andswore to um you know be part of
this this this movement tocreate a more uh connected and
(28:00):
um you know balanced community.
Meanwhile, there was stillpatriarchal conditioning
happening there, and it was itwas there and it was so evident.
Um, you know, and it's sofunny.
I always go back to thisexample because we had this
conversation not too long agowith an ex-colleague of mine.
(28:20):
It's like, you know, um you youkind of go to these meetings,
you know, you go to these liketeam meetings, right?
And everybody's asked to likeshare.
Um what's what was it again?
Um oh, I'm trying to rememberwhat it was.
No, it wasn't a lessonslearned.
Um it was basically somethingthat something that you're proud
of or to be grateful for, youknow, one, you know, one and
(28:43):
work related and one liferelated, right?
Oh, your business best and yourpersonal best.
That's it.
Why did how can I forget that,right?
You're all forces set to sharethis like business best and this
personal best.
And it's like, you know, wewere, you know, me and my
colleague, we were like, youknow, we were go, we were going
through it, you know, we werefeeling stuff, you know, stuff
(29:04):
was coming up, and it's like,actually, I'm in fucking rage
today.
Like, can I say that?
And you couldn't, right?
You couldn't say that.
You know, you're asked to bethis authentic self, and you
know, we want all our people tobe authentic and to fully
express themselves.
And, you know, we don't, wedon't do um what's it called?
We don't do pretense, we don'tdo fake, we don't.
(29:24):
But the minute somebodyactually shows their authentic
self, all they're faced with isjudgment because it doesn't fit
the patriarchal identities thatwe're supposed to be living up
to.
So the whole thing was likecrazy.
But anyway, that's just a sidetension.
But I mean, that was like two,three years ago now.
So I mean, over like beenthere, done that, right?
But it wasn't that long ago,you guys.
(29:46):
And all the women were gettingpaid 20 to 30 grand less per
year than the men doing theexact same job.
So systemic oppression stillexists and In many ways, it's
actually, you know, we're goingbackwards.
You know, women are using um,what's it called?
(30:06):
They're they're losing theirreproductive rights.
They're losing theirreproductive rights to have a
choice, to to whether to havechildren, whether to not have
children, whether to have accessto birth control, um, whether
to have, you know, um fertilitysupport, if they're having a
hard time having children.
Um, and this whole narrativeabout like, you know, women, you
(30:27):
know, needing to be back in thehome and needing to be with the
children, you know, that istrue for so many women.
So many women.
And I honor that, I respectthat, I think that's beautiful,
but not every woman was meant tobear children.
Not every woman was designed tobear children, and not every
(30:50):
woman is partnered with a manwith a capacity to um seed
children.
Okay, it's not just a womanissue, it's a man issue, okay?
There's issues on both sides,okay.
And no, it's not because yourwomb is hostile or energetically
hostile to a man's seed, okay?
(31:12):
Don't believe any of that crapif you hear it out there,
please.
Um listen, women, we are we arewe're all creators.
Men and women are all creators,okay.
Feminine energy is creativeenergy, okay.
As women, we do have the powerto create amazing things, but
(31:34):
sometimes it's not alwayschildren.
Sometimes our creations aresomething totally different, and
whatever we were put on this,God's green earth to create and
mother, Mama Gaia's green earthto create.
Okay, the two working togetherin harmony.
It's going to be miraculous.
But we need the space to do it,and we need the space to be
(31:56):
able to birth it and create itand make it come to life.
And we're not going to do thatif we keep living in this
systemic oppression of women andfemininity.
You know, we still have fuckingwork to do.
Like it's not done.
So I'm a very proud feminist,very proud feminist, and I will
sing that off the rooftops and Iwill go to marches and I will
(32:19):
do the whole damn thing.
Okay.
But I'm also a feminineactivist, and I believe that
only when we learn to harnessthe power of both our masculine
and feminine energies are wetruly powerful spiritual beings.
I mean, we're always powerful,but that's how we harness the
(32:41):
power.
And I think, you know,centuries ago, somewhere, that
that truth was taken away fromus.
It was hidden from us.
And in later episodes in thisseries, I'm actually going to
talk about um, because many ofyou don't know this, I haven't
talked about this a lot on thepodcast.
(33:01):
It's it is actually reallyuncomfortable for me to talk
about.
Um, because it is, I'm someonewho grew up very masculine and
very practical and very logical.
And this is anything butpractical and logical.
Okay.
And that was when I wentthrough my past life healing
experience.
And I can tell you that fromwhat I've remembered from a lot
(33:22):
of my past lives is I've beendoing this work for lifetimes.
And I can tell you from whatI've seen in my past lives and
past like civilizations and howI was treated both as a man and
as a woman, um, what healing,these energies between within
ourselves and between eachother, um, what it really means
(33:45):
and what it really looks like.
And again, I don't have all theanswers because nobody in our
lifetime um, you know, has livedin a society where, you know,
masculine and feminine energyexisted in harmony and in
balance.
But I do think that that isheaven on earth, is bringing
harmony between masculine andfeminine energy.
(34:06):
Um, and it's not always, youknow, it's not always the
traditional patriarchal standardof man meets woman, woman meets
man, they marry, they havechildren.
That is not what sacred unionis.
Not at all.
Sacred union is the unionbetween the masculine and the
feminine.
And when we do that withinourselves, and when we're able
(34:29):
to do that within ourselves,we're able to do that with each
other.
And that is truly when weexperience heaven on earth.
And that's that's that's fullyand wholeheartedly what I
believe.
Um, because then and only thenare we truly able to access all
of the power that we've beengiven.
And let me tell you, we havebeen given ample amounts of
(34:50):
power.
It's just been kept from us fora very long time.
But it is waking up, yay! It istime, it is here, it is waking
up and it is alive within eachand every one of us.
And, you know, the beautifulthing is, and I'm not done.
I'm not done balancing.
I'm still working on on thatinner balance because it is very
(35:12):
second nature for me to be inmy masculine.
And there's been times whereI've actually like, I've almost
like pendulum swinged in theopposite direction where I went
too much of my feminine, right?
And so there's been like thisevening out of the two energies.
And, you know, just like apendulum will swing back and
forth and it'll take an extremeswing to the left and then an
(35:33):
extreme swing to the right, andthen slowly but surely it'll
kind of come to center.
That's that's kind of where I'mat right now, right?
It's that coming into centerspace.
But I truly believe that as wedo that, as we come into center
center, we become the mostpowerful version of ourselves
and the version that we werecreated to be.
And I do believe that I dobelieve that this power was kept
(35:54):
from us, and I do believe itwas very intentional.
And the good thing is, the goodnews is is it's waking the fuck
up now and it is pissed.
So here we are.
So lots more to come in thecoming episodes, you guys.
We're gonna be talking a lotmore about masculine and
(36:15):
feminine and how we heal betweenthese two energies and how we
bring them into balance.
And again, I'm gonna be talkingthe last episode.
I will be talking about my pastlife experiences as I've
remembered them, and they arejust very fragmented pieces of
what I saw, what I felt, what Iwas experiencing at the time,
and what it really means aboutour whole path to healing these
(36:36):
two energies within ourselvesand really, really, you know,
tapping back into um ourfeminine and and and going
through and really harnessingthe power of this collective
feminine awakening that we're inthe middle of right now as we
speak.
So I hope you will stickaround.

Hey guys, what is up?
And welcome back to the show.
Welcome if you're new.
Today is part two of theFeminine Awakening Edition,
Rebel Rise and Radiate.
Um today's topic is a littletriggering for me.
I'm not gonna lie.
Like I I hear so much of thisonline, and here's the thing
(00:22):
like I hear a lot of stuffonline sometimes that I have a
real issue with, like a lot.
Um and you know, I try not tosay anything, and I definitely
try like there's only been acouple of times when I've
actually like openly stood outand really like not let someone
have it, but you know, reallydisagreed with them.
(00:43):
And you know, I always I alwaystry and kind of see the light
in what everybody else issharing, but also then kind of
but also right and give myperspective.
But there's really only been acouple of times where I was
like, actually, like, no, you'renot getting away.
Like, no, no, no, no, no, no,no.
Because listen, I'm not, I'mnot, I'm not out there saying
(01:08):
that, you know, I know betterthan everybody else.
Like, we're all learning.
You know what I mean?
We're all learning, we're allhealing, we're all growing.
I'm gonna learn stuff tomorrowthat is gonna be like
eye-opening for me, and I'mgonna realize where maybe I've
been wrong about certain things,but there are certain things
that I know that I'm rightabout, and this is one of them.
(01:29):
And, you know, in this person'sdefense, I think, you know, I
think when they when they kindof put this message out there,
you know, if you read The FinePrint, we kind of essentially
kind of believe the same thing,but it was just the it was just
the way the message was put outinto the world that I had a
massive issue with.
And it's this message that, youknow, feminism killed
(01:54):
femininity and continues to killfemininity in women today.
And what when I hear this, evenif it's like even if someone is
just putting it out on a postas shock value, but then you
know, kind of talks it back inthe caption, which is kind of
what happened here, right?
(02:15):
And I'm not gonna name theperson because I think I
actually do think she's great,and I think she's a great
healer, and I think she's agreat coach, and she's she's
doing some amazing fucking shit.
Um, but this this particularthing, I I can't agree with.
Like I can't.
Um, and even if you know, shedid walk it back in the caption,
the message that it sends,because you know, and I know,
there's so many times we don'tread the caption, especially
(02:38):
when there's like this big boldquote and this big bold
statement, you know, in the reelor in the carousel or whatever.
A lot of times we don't evenbother going into the caption.
We just let that in it thatseeing that in the caption with
in the in the post withoutactually going into the caption
can create a perspective shift.
(03:00):
And that is dangerous.
And we have to be so carefulbecause, guys, guys, listen to
me.
Feminism did not killfemininity.
Okay.
And, you know, feminism is abig part of why we're able to do
the things that we're able todo today.
Was it perfect?
No, are we done?
(03:21):
Our healing and our evolution?
No, we're midway.
We're halfway through.
And I think people, you know,often forget that.
Sorry, I'm picking like hairs,like, I don't know, my hair's
like getting stuck all over myface.
Um, and that's why you'reprobably hearing a lot of
shifting and my bracelet'smoving all the time.
Apologize.
But anyway, um, we're not done.
We're not done.
(03:41):
Like, we're not done ourhealing, we're still
mid-evolution, and so there'sstill a lot for us to learn and
a lot, a lot of stuff for us toheal, and a lot of ways for us
to grow.
And I think people forget aboutthat.
And and and feminism gettingall this um flack for killing
femininity and women, nothingcould be farther from the truth.
(04:02):
And I'm gonna share my take onall of this.
You can choose to agree ordisagree, it's entirely up to
you.
Um, you know, but there are afew things that I've learned on
this journey that I think I'munwavering on.
And that is, you know, thisbelief that in order to be the
(04:23):
most powerful expression ofourself, right?
And I'll start with this.
In order for us to be the mostpowerful expression of ourself,
and this goes from men andwomen, okay, men and women
alike, we need to be able toharness the power of our
feminism and our masculinewithin its natural balance.
(04:43):
Now, everybody will leanslightly more to one than the
other.
So some of us will lean moremasculine, some of us will
naturally lean more feminine.
I mean, I don't want to getinto, you know, it doesn't
matter whether you identify as aman or a woman or non-binary,
(05:04):
feminine and masculine energy isavailable to both of us.
All of us.
I say both.
I'm sorry, I apologize for thatbecause that actually came
across as um there's someconditioning right there,
thinking that there's only twosexes, right?
So masculine and feminine isavailable to all of us,
regardless of how we identifyum, or you know, or don't, or
(05:28):
choose not to, that's entirelyup to you.
But masculine and feminineenergy is still available, and
you'll lean more towards one andor the other, and that has
nothing to do with whether ornot you're male or female.
Typically, yes, most femaleswill lean more heavily to
feminine, and most men will leanmore heavily to masculine, but
(05:53):
that is not a what's it called?
That is not true for everybody.
And that has that also hasnothing to do with with sexual
orientation.
I've seen some very strong, um,I've met some very strong
heterosexual men who were verycomfortable leaning into their
(06:14):
feminine.
I've also met some verypowerful heterosexual women, I'm
myself included, who are verycomfortable leaning into their
masculine.
And it's actually one of thethings, um, which, you know, as
we get into this, I'll explainwhat I'm talking about.
But it's actually one of thethings that makes me a great
healer for women is because I amable to hold space.
(06:35):
I am able to create thatfoundation and that um that
platform for healing, uh, thatsafe space for healing that
women need that sometimes theworld doesn't give them so
easily, you know?
Um, so um, so let's talk aboutthat, right?
Because it is important, right?
So masculine and feminineenergy exists in both, men and
(06:56):
women, non-binary.
Doesn't matter what youidentify as, doesn't matter
sexual orientation.
Each of us have masculine andfeminine, and some of us will
lean slightly more towards oneand the other, but ultimately we
need to be able to harness thepower of both in order to be in
our most empowered state.
When we are in relationshipwith each other, we tend to be
(07:16):
in relationship with people whoare our mirror opposite when it
comes to our masculine andfeminine balance.
So if we lean more feminine, wewill naturally attract partners
that lean slightly moremasculine and vice versa.
Okay.
Um now, let me just start bysaying there is nothing more
heartbreaking than, you know,hearing people, especially
women, say how feminism killedfemininity.
(07:40):
Um, because the reality isnothing could be farther from
the truth.
And if you've ever felt like,you know, you couldn't be, and I
know I went through this phasewhere I felt like, you know, I
was always an I was always avery like um, I can't get the
words.
I was always a very vocalfeminist.
(08:00):
Okay.
Um, but I also very muchbelieved in my own feminine
energy and power.
And I I, you know, as as as Igrew and as I evolved and as I
healed, I realized that therewas so much to be gained from
tapping into our sacred femininesuperpowers, which if you
haven't watched last week'sepisode, which was a
masterclass, definitely go checkthat out where I talked about
(08:22):
the nine sacred femininesuperpowers that will absolutely
change your life and make youas magnetic as fuck.
I kid you not.
I'm telling you, life-changing,simple, energetic practices.
Okay.
But for the longest time, Ifelt like I couldn't do both.
I needed to either be one orthe other.
And the world is verypolarizing that way, right?
(08:44):
Um, but to reiterate, you know,feminism did not kill
femininity, it actually createda portal for femininity to heal
and rise and to be with rebornwithin each and every one of us,
men and women.
Because I will tell you rightnow that like the world
desperately needs it.
(09:04):
It desperately needed it thenand desperately needs it now.
Desperately.
Um, which is why I launchedlast week's episode.
But up until the feministmovement, you know, the world
was just not available forfemininity.
The women, women in general,like let's focus on women right
now for the this part of theconversation.
(09:24):
Women prior to feminism and thewomen's rights movement were
not feminine women at all.
They were oppressed, they wereasleep, they were controlled,
they had no power, they didn'thave access to masculine or
feminine power.
Sure, there were someexceptions.
And I think, you know, when wesaw the rise, when we saw World
(09:45):
War II happen and women, womenhappened, you know, having to go
into the workforce because allthe men had gone to war.
Um, I think that's when youreally started to see the
biggest part of this shift,right?
Because women started to seethat there's this whole world
out there that, you know, iskind of kept from them all this
time, you know?
(10:05):
Um, so for men and women, youknow, again, feminine energy,
women were oppressed, yes, butalso let's talk about feminine
energy.
I believe feminine energy upuntil then was very oppressed
because not only was it not okayfor women to be in their
feminine, and if you want toargue with me on this, why do
you think, you know, women'senergy women's feminine energy
(10:28):
is not just about being homebaking cookies and being there
for the kids?
Yes, women do that.
And if that is their choice,that is great.
I I honor them for that, youknow.
I I, you know, I wish I wouldhave had children to like
smother and like spoil, but youknow, life led me down a
different path, and I've madepeace with that.
(10:48):
Um but you know, women who werein their femininity, who were
in their feminine power,intuition, healing, um, you
know, um, surrender.
Um, you know, all the thingsthat we talked about in the
(11:09):
sacred feminine superpowers inlast week's episode, they were
burnt at the stake.
They were buried alive.
They were like, like, like putin put into lakes with tied to
rocks, and you know, letting Goddecide if he was gonna heal
them, like save them, or letthem drown, because you know,
they were they were they werethey were witches, right?
(11:30):
Witches, um, heretics, youknow.
Um, and so it wasn't okay forthem to be in their feminine
energy at all.
Um men were allowed to be intheir masculine energy, and
that's all they were allowed tobe, and they weren't allowed to
be in their feminine either.
You know, they were supposed tobe strong, they were supposed
to be the providers, they weresupposed to be the hunters and
(11:53):
the gatherers and the builders,and you know, um they were never
given the safety to be in theirfeminine.
And so, you know, here are themen walking around all up in
their masculine and completewith no access to their
feminine, and then women cut offfrom both their masculine and
their feminine and just beingsubmissive.
(12:14):
And that is not what feminineenergetics is about, and that's
not what being in your feminineis about.
Yes, there are times to submitand to rest and to and to go
within, but you know, as women,again, we have to learn to lean
on both.
There are times when we do needto lean into our masculine, we
need to balance those twoenergies.
Um, and the the sad part isthat the world was designed, it
(12:38):
was systemically designed tooppress feminine energy, to
suppress feminine energy, and tosuppress women in general from
accessing any personal powerwhatsoever.
Um, and this was, you know,based on patriarchal ideologies
(12:59):
who, you know, wanted to kind ofkeep, I believe, everyone under
their control, because I don'tthink men had any more freedom
than we did, not you know, beingdenied being in their feminine
energy.
You know, that was a strugglefor them too, you know.
And I can you can see you cansee the the damage that that
(13:19):
kind of conditioning created.
I I can see it in in in theolder men in my life, I can see
it in my father, I can see insome of the other men that you
know I grew up around.
There were there they were sofilled with pain and shame and
animosity and rage from theirown failures, from their own
unprocessed grief and trauma,that it made it very hard for
(13:42):
them, especially as they getolder.
You know, I'm seeing it now inmy dad.
It is very hard for them toactually, I guess, come to terms
with um, you know, how theyhave moved through life and and
and you know, all the stuff thatthey've left kind of
unprocessed and and unhealedwithin them, right?
It's all kind of coming up tothe surface now.
So, um, you know, so just to,you know, women were oppressed
(14:08):
prior to the feminist movement,yes, but feminine energy was
oppressed across the board formen and women.
And so here's the thing, right?
We did need to go through anevolution and we did need to go
through a healing collectively.
And I'm not just talking aboutwomen now, collectively, we
needed to go through a healingand an evolution.
Because I have done a lot ofwork around trauma, I know that
(14:32):
trauma, the only way trauma getshealed is through safety.
Okay, creating a safe space forthe emotions to be felt and to
be released and to be movedthrough so that, you know, you
can kind of come back tohomeostasis, right?
What happened, and I'm pausingbecause I really want to make
sure that I articulate thisproperly and I do have notes,
(14:55):
but you know, I'm also trying tokind of you know speak from the
heart when I do this.
I don't want to, I don't wantto read this.
But what happened, you know,was you know, we did need to go
through this evolution and wedid need to, as a collective,
tap back into our feminine.
But the feminine energy,because it had been oppressed
for so long, because it had beenpunished for so long, because
(15:17):
it had been hated and and andjudged and and you know,
basically persecuted forcenturies, we needed to create a
safe space for it to come out.
And because, you know, I guessmaybe women had more, you know,
(15:38):
we did have access to ourfeminine easier than men did.
Maybe we were closer to it.
I don't know.
I don't know what the the Idon't know what the logic behind
that piece is.
That part I'm still trying tofigure out, and that's why I'm
struggling to articulate this.
But if you think of it thisway, feminism was how women,
because it was mostly women,especially in the beginning,
(16:00):
stepped into our masculine andsaid, Hey, we're gonna claim
this.
We are going to claim thisenergy, and we are going to
access it because just the waythe men have been doing for
years, we realize we have accessto it too.
So we are going to access itand we are going to shift and
(16:21):
change the world so that we canput an end to the systemic
oppression of women and create asafe space, a safe foundation,
a safe container for women, butalso for the feminism, for the
feminists with for the femininewithin each of us, men and
(16:43):
women, to be reborn andrebirthed into this world and to
heal from centuries of thisoppression and persecution and
attack, okay?
And so, you know, feminists,the feminist movement became a
powerful portal for healing.
Because now what we have, youknow, after you know, we've
(17:05):
changed some of the laws, we'vechanged the world, we've changed
the workplace, we've changedwhat women have access to, the
information they have access to.
Um we created the safe spacesportal for the feminine to rise,
to heal, and to be rebornagain.
None of this work that we areseeing online today in the
(17:29):
online spaces, feminineembodiment practices and blah,
blah, blah, and goddess energyand all this stuff, there would
be no place for at all in theworld if it hadn't been for the
feminist movement.
Now, are we done?
No, we're still in theevolution because we, and this
(17:50):
is the point where we need toget to as a humanity, right?
I'm talking men and women, westill need to balance these two
energies within ourselves.
So we need to balance and honorand be able to step into our
masculine and as well as ourfeminine.
Now, for many women, it stillfeels scary to fully trust and
be in your feminine because, youknow, many of us grew up in a
(18:12):
world where, you know, wecouldn't count on the men in our
lives to be there for us andprovide for us or take care of
us or create a safe space forus, right?
Equally just as scary for a lotof men to lean into their
feminine because they've nevergrown up grown up in an
environment where it was safefor them to express their
feelings, to be in theiremotions, to make intuitive
(18:33):
decisions as opposed to logic tolet go, to let go of control,
and to to to to just you know bein a space of allowing, right?
And so we're still learning inall of this.
And any healer out there, anycoach, any whatever that tells
you as a woman that the key to,you know, the reason why a lot
(18:59):
of your relationships haven'tbeen working is because, you
know, you've lost, you've cutoff, you need to be all you
always need to be in yourfeminine, you've cut off access
to your feminine energy.
I have a couple of things tosay to that.
Number one, in order for the inorder, we need to heal.
We need to heal through a lotof the trauma that the feminine,
the feminine has experienced.
(19:21):
And that can only be donethrough safety.
So we still need to create thissafe space for the feminine to
heal and move through grief,shame, um, oppression, judgment,
rejection, persecution, okay?
In all of us.
So, and I don't know why, youknow, women always get blamed
(19:43):
for the, you know, you know, whyconnection and relationships
have kind of fallen apart.
You know, we've all we've allplayed a part in that because
we've all we've all forcenturies been disconnected from
our feminine men and women.
Like this is this is for mentoo.
Like, this is not a woman or aman or a non-gender or binary or
whatever thing.
This is a human thing.
(20:05):
And we all need to be able tobe comfortable to be in our
masculine and our feminineenergies.
And that is when, you know,when we when we balance our
masculine and our feminine, weliterally become that bridge
between heaven and earth.
We literally create heaven onearth.
That that I believe is the goalin all of this.
(20:25):
But in order to do that, weneeded the feminist movement so
that the feminine energy can bereborn and and and and take up
space again in our collectivereality.
And so we couldn't be heretoday if it wasn't for feminine.
But the work is still ongoing.
We still need to master and besafe being in our feminine and
(20:48):
being in our masculine, both asmen and both as women.
We also need to be able to holdspace for the other.
So we as women need to becomfortable with men being in
their feminine, seeing men beingmore emotional, more
vulnerable, making moreintuitive decisions, you know,
(21:09):
taking time to rest, to be insurrender, you know, and men,
men too have to be morecomfortable with women who are
oh, you know, who are expressingand being in their masculine,
who are taking charge, who aremaking moves, who are building
structures, who are makingmovements.
Like we have to be able to holdspace for ourselves and each
(21:33):
other to hold both energies.
And any healer, any coach thattells you that you have to be
focused on being in one and notthe other is actually keeping
you in a disempowered statebecause as humans, we are only
powerful when we have access toboth.
The male is the physical, thethe the feminine is the the the
(21:54):
energetic.
Together, these two supporteach other.
And when we have both, when welearn to harness the power of
both, that's when we have thepower to literally create
worlds.
Like there is no stop, there'sno, you have no idea how
powerful we actually are when wecan tap into both energies.
(22:16):
Um, the biggest thing I thinkfor all of us is to, you know,
pay attention to where we swingmost.
Like, do you swing moremasculine?
Do you swing more feminine?
And, you know, try to put anumber to it.
Like I know this is a verylogical approach, but like
literally, like I we've we'vebeen grown up to do things, you
(22:38):
know, we've grown up to dothings in logic.
We've we've grown up to doingthings in the practical.
So use that.
Use that to your advantage,okay?
Take a look at how you'respending your time and how you
spend your energy, you know, howoften throughout the day are
you taking time to rest, tomeditate, to be in your
feelings, to be in yourintuition, to surrender, to
trust, to give over control.
And how much of your day areyou spent building, thinking,
(23:02):
strategizing, working, building,um, and so forth.
And and if you can put likeloosely put a percentage to it
and see where you can make someadjustments so that you can, and
it'll be uncomfortable atfirst, especially if you're not
used to it.
Like it'll be, you know, I'mfor everyone, it'll be
uncomfortable.
See where you can make someadjustments to spend more time
(23:24):
evolving some of the practicesin the opposite energy where
you've not spent enough time.
And if you're somebody who doestend to um be more in there
heavily in their masculine, goahead and check out last week's
episode.
And even, you know, you know,guys, like even as women, like
we may, like, I can think backto a time where I was like,
yeah, I'm a girl's girl.
(23:46):
You know, I like to get mynails done.
I like to get my hair done.
I like to have a nice outfiton.
I like to always like a cutepurse and cute shoes, but I was
still in my masculine.
Like that had not, that hasnothing to do with it.
I was still in my masculinebecause I was working and
hustling and grinding nonstop.
Um, I was constantly trying tocontrol everything.
(24:06):
I was constantly overthinking.
I was constantly secondguessing.
I was constantly strategizinghow I was gonna get to that next
step, whether it was in mycareer or in a relationship or
whatever, whatever the goal was,right?
Um, I had a very and I and Iand I didn't realize it then.
But that discomfort with beingstill, with having nothing to
(24:33):
do, with being able to sit in aquiet space and not get
completely like fucked up.
Like, like, oh my god, likewhat am I gonna do with my time?
What am I gonna do with myhands?
What am I gonna?
I gotta turn on the TV, I gottago do something, I gotta go
meet a friend for coffee, Igotta go for a walk, I gotta do
a Pilates class, I gotta do areformer.
Oh when you can sit withyourself and you can just be in
(24:56):
stillness, like if you can't dothat, that's a sure sign you're
uncomfortable being in yourfeminine.
You know, if you're if yourto-do list is so long that you
couldn't get through it in aweek, you know, if you keep
saying you're gonna do somethingfor yourself and and you you
get through all your to-dos, andby the time all your to-dos
(25:18):
you're done, it's like the endof the day, you're so burnt out,
you're exhausted, you flop infront of the TV until it's time
for bed, you're having a hardtime being in your feminine.
Very hard.
If you can't relax untileverything on your to-do list is
done, you can't be in yourfeminine.
If you can't um uh yeah, Idon't know, silence the
(25:43):
overthinking and the overworrying and and the
over-analyzing and just let itgo and trust that things will
work out to the highest andgreatest good and not give it
another thought, you have a hardtime being in your feminine.
If you constantly second-guessyour decision or afraid that
you're gonna make the wrongdecision, um if you if you make
a decision and then immediatelyregret it, like two seconds
(26:05):
later, you have a hard timebeing in your feminine.
You do.
Um and these these are thesuperpowers that you know people
like, you know, we take forgranted, right?
And even in school, like noneof us are taught how to be in
our feminine, we're all taughthow to be in our masculine, you
know.
Um the entire system has beendesigned to keep us in a
(26:32):
disempowered state because thekey to all of us accessing
unlimited amounts of personalpower is to tap in back into our
feminine and learn to balancethose two energies out.
Okay, now we've had a lot ofpractice being in our masculine
men and women.
Now it's time to really harnessand empower the feminine and
(26:52):
really learn to make help thoseenergies work together within
us.
Okay, and you know understandit's an evolution over time.
No, we are not done.
Yes, the feminist movementabsolutely cleared a path and
(27:15):
created that safe portal ofhealing and transformation, but
we are not done.
Like there is still a lot ofsystemic oppression.
Like I two years ago, when wasit, two years ago, was still
making 20, 30k less per yearthan the male equivalent working
(27:37):
with me.
Like systemic oppression ofwomen and and femininity is
still there.
You know, this was anenvironment that you know swore
to do things differently andswore to um you know be part of
this this this movement tocreate a more uh connected and
(28:00):
um you know balanced community.
Meanwhile, there was stillpatriarchal conditioning
happening there, and it was itwas there and it was so evident.
Um, you know, and it's sofunny.
I always go back to thisexample because we had this
conversation not too long agowith an ex-colleague of mine.
(28:20):
It's like, you know, um you youkind of go to these meetings,
you know, you go to these liketeam meetings, right?
And everybody's asked to likeshare.
Um what's what was it again?
Um oh, I'm trying to rememberwhat it was.
No, it wasn't a lessonslearned.
Um it was basically somethingthat something that you're proud
of or to be grateful for, youknow, one, you know, one and
(28:43):
work related and one liferelated, right?
Oh, your business best and yourpersonal best.
That's it.
Why did how can I forget that,right?
You're all forces set to sharethis like business best and this
personal best.
And it's like, you know, wewere, you know, me and my
colleague, we were like, youknow, we were go, we were going
through it, you know, we werefeeling stuff, you know, stuff
(29:04):
was coming up, and it's like,actually, I'm in fucking rage
today.
Like, can I say that?
And you couldn't, right?
You couldn't say that.
You know, you're asked to bethis authentic self, and you
know, we want all our people tobe authentic and to fully
express themselves.
And, you know, we don't, wedon't do um what's it called?
We don't do pretense, we don'tdo fake, we don't.
(29:24):
But the minute somebodyactually shows their authentic
self, all they're faced with isjudgment because it doesn't fit
the patriarchal identities thatwe're supposed to be living up
to.
So the whole thing was likecrazy.
But anyway, that's just a sidetension.
But I mean, that was like two,three years ago now.
So I mean, over like beenthere, done that, right?
But it wasn't that long ago,you guys.
(29:46):
And all the women were gettingpaid 20 to 30 grand less per
year than the men doing theexact same job.
So systemic oppression stillexists and In many ways, it's
actually, you know, we're goingbackwards.
You know, women are using um,what's it called?
(30:06):
They're they're losing theirreproductive rights.
They're losing theirreproductive rights to have a
choice, to to whether to havechildren, whether to not have
children, whether to have accessto birth control, um, whether
to have, you know, um fertilitysupport, if they're having a
hard time having children.
Um, and this whole narrativeabout like, you know, women, you
(30:27):
know, needing to be back in thehome and needing to be with the
children, you know, that istrue for so many women.
So many women.
And I honor that, I respectthat, I think that's beautiful,
but not every woman was meant tobear children.
Not every woman was designed tobear children, and not every
(30:50):
woman is partnered with a manwith a capacity to um seed
children.
Okay, it's not just a womanissue, it's a man issue, okay?
There's issues on both sides,okay.
And no, it's not because yourwomb is hostile or energetically
hostile to a man's seed, okay?
(31:12):
Don't believe any of that crapif you hear it out there,
please.
Um listen, women, we are we arewe're all creators.
Men and women are all creators,okay.
Feminine energy is creativeenergy, okay.
As women, we do have the powerto create amazing things, but
(31:34):
sometimes it's not alwayschildren.
Sometimes our creations aresomething totally different, and
whatever we were put on this,God's green earth to create and
mother, Mama Gaia's green earthto create.
Okay, the two working togetherin harmony.
It's going to be miraculous.
But we need the space to do it,and we need the space to be
(31:56):
able to birth it and create itand make it come to life.
And we're not going to do thatif we keep living in this
systemic oppression of women andfemininity.
You know, we still have fuckingwork to do.
Like it's not done.
So I'm a very proud feminist,very proud feminist, and I will
sing that off the rooftops and Iwill go to marches and I will
(32:19):
do the whole damn thing.
Okay.
But I'm also a feminineactivist, and I believe that
only when we learn to harnessthe power of both our masculine
and feminine energies are wetruly powerful spiritual beings.
I mean, we're always powerful,but that's how we harness the
(32:41):
power.
And I think, you know,centuries ago, somewhere, that
that truth was taken away fromus.
It was hidden from us.
And in later episodes in thisseries, I'm actually going to
talk about um, because many ofyou don't know this, I haven't
talked about this a lot on thepodcast.
(33:01):
It's it is actually reallyuncomfortable for me to talk
about.
Um, because it is, I'm someonewho grew up very masculine and
very practical and very logical.
And this is anything butpractical and logical.
Okay.
And that was when I wentthrough my past life healing
experience.
And I can tell you that fromwhat I've remembered from a lot
(33:22):
of my past lives is I've beendoing this work for lifetimes.
And I can tell you from whatI've seen in my past lives and
past like civilizations and howI was treated both as a man and
as a woman, um, what healing,these energies between within
ourselves and between eachother, um, what it really means
(33:45):
and what it really looks like.
And again, I don't have all theanswers because nobody in our
lifetime um, you know, has livedin a society where, you know,
masculine and feminine energyexisted in harmony and in
balance.
But I do think that that isheaven on earth, is bringing
harmony between masculine andfeminine energy.
(34:06):
Um, and it's not always, youknow, it's not always the
traditional patriarchal standardof man meets woman, woman meets
man, they marry, they havechildren.
That is not what sacred unionis.
Not at all.
Sacred union is the unionbetween the masculine and the
feminine.
And when we do that withinourselves, and when we're able
(34:29):
to do that within ourselves,we're able to do that with each
other.
And that is truly when weexperience heaven on earth.
And that's that's that's fullyand wholeheartedly what I
believe.
Um, because then and only thenare we truly able to access all
of the power that we've beengiven.
And let me tell you, we havebeen given ample amounts of
(34:50):
power.
It's just been kept from us fora very long time.
But it is waking up, yay! It istime, it is here, it is waking
up and it is alive within eachand every one of us.
And, you know, the beautifulthing is, and I'm not done.
I'm not done balancing.
I'm still working on on thatinner balance because it is very
(35:12):
second nature for me to be inmy masculine.
And there's been times whereI've actually like, I've almost
like pendulum swinged in theopposite direction where I went
too much of my feminine, right?
And so there's been like thisevening out of the two energies.
And, you know, just like apendulum will swing back and
forth and it'll take an extremeswing to the left and then an
(35:33):
extreme swing to the right, andthen slowly but surely it'll
kind of come to center.
That's that's kind of where I'mat right now, right?
It's that coming into centerspace.
But I truly believe that as wedo that, as we come into center
center, we become the mostpowerful version of ourselves
and the version that we werecreated to be.
And I do believe that I dobelieve that this power was kept
(35:54):
from us, and I do believe itwas very intentional.
And the good thing is, the goodnews is is it's waking the fuck
up now and it is pissed.
So here we are.
So lots more to come in thecoming episodes, you guys.
We're gonna be talking a lotmore about masculine and
(36:15):
feminine and how we heal betweenthese two energies and how we
bring them into balance.
And again, I'm gonna be talkingthe last episode.
I will be talking about my pastlife experiences as I've
remembered them, and they arejust very fragmented pieces of
what I saw, what I felt, what Iwas experiencing at the time,
and what it really means aboutour whole path to healing these
(36:36):
two energies within ourselvesand really, really, you know,
tapping back into um ourfeminine and and and going
through and really harnessingthe power of this collective
feminine awakening that we're inthe middle of right now as we
speak.
So I hope you will stickaround.
