  • Grief in the Age of the Masculine

    Masculine-dominant cultures are terrible at grieving, whether it's actual loss of life or the decaying of institutions, ideas, hopes, futures -- and that's by design. We have hardly any skill or stomach for the thing we’re all inevitably careening toward, and perhaps that's one of the biggest reasons we're bubbling over with anxiety, depression, avoidance, and cruelty as a group. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the recent loss of her dad, Vanessa explores grief as an opportunity to deepen into the feminine. Whether personal loss or collective, if grief is love with nowhere to go, maybe we can give it some direction.

  • The Authority We Give

    Masculine metrics tell us who to trust. We pay for that certainty with our own instincts. Who do you give your authority to instead of yourself?

  • Episode 016: Predicting Protection vs. Boundary Setting
    When we give ourselves the responsibility of predicting peoples’ needs, we also give ourselves the power of predicting peoples’ needs. It begins as a way of maintaining homeostasis and safety, but becomes a way to coerce people into feeling how you need them to feel. Not with ill intent, with the same quest for safety, just with assumed authority. Suddenly we're deciding what others need, "saving" them when they don't need any help and plowing right through their boundaries because we've deemed them unnecessary.

  • Episode 015: Reimagining "Success" Through the Feminine
    Proving to yourself that you can overcome challenges is really important, but part of the human experience is also to be humbled by our own human limitations. We are not infinite in this version of life for a reason. Accepting that helps put an end to the daily reinforcement of those dirty old core beliefs cast in failure and allows in some new narratives, narratives YOU get to write. There are myriad ways to measure greatness; sport does not have a monopoly on that.

  • The Feminine Shadow and its Imprint on Relationships Part 2

    Codependency influences us to be responsible for making other people feel better. Success in that area is what can determine a sense of personal value, but this creates suffering. A more objective truth is that we can support each other but the work to quell our upset and evolve is ours alone. And boundaries – a trait of the masculine light – is where that healthy separation begins.

  • The Feminine Shadow and its Imprint on Relationships Part 1

    Discussing behavior traits of the feminine shadow and their impact on relationships. When we’re stuck in the feminine shadow, our self-image is usually not great. Because it’s a darker manifestation of feminine light which is about relationship and community, when that healthy manifestation turns dark, it’s still about relationship and community but about us being on the outside of it, feeling disconnected from it, not allowed into it.
