148 - How To Slow Down & Live Guided By Your Body And Feminine Energy

Many women come to my work feeling that they are ‘too in their masculine’

However, the truth is that these women aren’t masculine, they are actually deeply feminine at their core. Yet they have built an outer exterior of masculine energy (their masculine shield) which is blocking them from accessing their feminine.

In this episode, you will learn what the masculine shield is, how to know you are operating from it and nourishing starting steps to release your patterns of self-protection, ungard your heart and reconnect with your feminine energy.

In this episode, I cover:
• The number one thing that disconnects you from your feminine energy
• Understanding your masculine shield and armour
• Why you may not feel safe to be in your feminine as a woman
• How to begin releasing your layers of self-protection
• Shifting from masculine guarding to feminine opening
• Ways that you mask your true feminine feelings
• Signs and indicators that you’re operating from your masculine shield   
• How to reconnect with your tender feminine heart
• Finding true safety inside your own body
• Learning how to feel your emotions rather than shielding them
• Revealing the truth of your heart

147 - Release Your Masculine Shield & Unguard Your Feminine Heart

Feminine energy is cyclical, yet so many women are trying to force themselves to show up in a linear and consistent way.

This pursuit of consistency leaves a woman needing to step into her masculine energy and override her body and feminine to get results.

In this episode, I cover:Why we glorify consistency and masculine energyThe different hormone cycles of men and womenHow aiming for consistency sets women up to failLetting your body be your oracle and your guideWhy women lack trust in their body and feminine energyUnderstanding the 4 seasons of your menstrual cycle Designing your self-care, work and exercise around your cycleHow nourishing your feminine will support consistent actionWhy you experience procrastination, avoidance and resistanceHow to practice consistency, the feminine wayHow I design my habits, routines and workday from my feminineWorking with a 28 day cycle of creation The importance of practising self-compassion Embracing the seasons and cycles of your life
