Dear Midlife...

Contemplating the Union of Masculine and Feminine Energy


Listen Later

So, today we have a mind-bending, trailblazing conversation with our guest, GIllian Pothier, that changed the way we perceive masculine and feminine presence in our own daily lives. Gillian helps us to rethink society's negative portrayal of masculine and feminine nature and how it is this portrayal that is creating a self-destructive paradox.

Gillian holds the belief that we all contain within us a little bit of both masculine and feminine energy. For women, in particular it is only through this complementary union with the masculine that we can learn to be fully expressed in our feminine, as well as, be anchored in our beauty, truth, and creational power.

We are not saying you have to change your personal anthem from Katy Perry's "Roar" to "Feelings" by Morris Albert? However, Gillian's perspectives on this topic really caused us pause. We, typically, stand for women rising to overcome the constraints the patriarchy has imposed on us for decades. However, this conversation made us reconsider if there is opportunity for our own personal expansion and growth by exploring more of our feminine energy and gave us insights as to how to do this.

Gillian is no stranger to the difficulties of today’s dating pool. Just like many of us, she's spent years seeking a lifelong partner, experiencing nothing but heartbreak. But, she found that embracing her femininity was what it took for her to resurrect dull and flatline romantic relationships and harnessing this energy was how she found a partner where erotic sex, joy, and love reign supreme. 

In this episode, Gillian teaches us:

  1. When women start to un-numb and bring back to life the truth of their feelings, women can come home to the aspects of themselves they have discarded in order to survive in a masculine society.
  2. We are overdriving the truth of our nature in order to "produce", "perform" or "generate" more and more and women are exhausted and depleted, as a result. We need to massively disrupt and de-armor ourselves in order to come back to our true "yin" nature and re-awaken to our own truth.
  3. When women go to work in masculine structures and then bring that energy into the home they may be unconsciously perpetuating the patriarchy. Women are depleted and over-functioning because we are terrified that our male counterparts are not capable of making important decisions.
  4. Women have been unconsciously corrupted by masculine energy and that is robbing us of the joy, delight and sensuality of receiving. When we allow ourselves to become vulnerable enough to receive, we honor our feminine and the masculine need to give, provide and protect.
  5. Necessity causes women to build up around golden cages of protective armor that prevents us from the living into the vulnerability that is our feminine energy.
