Courageous Women feel fear and have doubt too, the difference is they meet and move through the uncertainty to make choices that feel right for them…regardless of what is considered acceptable or feels comfortable.

Some call this crazy, I name it brave. If you look back through herstory you’ll see powerful women who dared to conjure up courage to step past their own fear and the projection of fear placed on them from others to follow their heart’s deep wisdom.

These trailblazers were often called “crazy” as a way to diminish and discount their feminine power and intuitive wisdom.… but in truth these women were the ones who lived freely and fully regardless of external circumstances or opinion.

They dared to stand in their true soul expression as Courageous Wise Women. Some wise women’s courage changes the masses. And for many of us, while our courage may only touch as far as our children, friends, peers, clients, communities and selves, the amount of courage it takes to stand up and lead and speak from your heart is just as immense, and brave.

Truthfully... feminine wisdom is not “crazy,” but it is crazy powerful.

And we need it more than ever to navigate these intense times, where we are each being called to step forward, make change, stretch ourselves out of what feels comfortable and in line with conventional wisdom to what feels empowering and aligned to a much deeper, human wisdom. 

This Feminine Power Time: Crazy Wisdom: Conjuring Up Courage and Clarity in Intense Times is a "Salon" - originally broadcast as a live video stream and virtual circle by Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and teacher. These salons are feminine wisdom sessions that go into deeper levels of teaching and wisdom based on what we are experiencing. 

Usually streamed during one of the 'power days', Christine invites you to join her and other courageous souls around the world to:

• Identify your “Crazy Wisdom” edge – this is the intersect between what you KNOW you desire to create and do and the fear that diminishes your power, and creates doubt and distraction.
• Reveal What’s Really Driving Your Overwhelm, Lack of Clarity or Inability to Bring Your Inner Knowing into Material Form 
• Discern Between Choices Made From Masked Fear & Blind Faith (not wise) and Rooted Faith & Courageous Wisdom (wise) - so you can make wise and courageous choices even when you are confused, scared, or uncertain. 
• Get Clear on What Really Matters to Focus On For the Rest of the Year and Courageously Let the Rest Go

Feminine Super Power Year - A Feminine Wisdom School for living, leading and succeeding the feminine way. www.FeminineSuperPowerYear.com 

ELEVATE Feminine Leadership Immersion - Save the Date - April 25-28, Seattle Coast. 

Most women operate at half power, trying to assimilate into ways of working that don't support how we naturally operate and create, undervaluing ourselves and our work, and taking more responsibility than is ours to take on. We care about the world. We want to make things better. But the way we've learned to lead and work is based on models that do not support nor tap into our 'feminine' power and wisdom. 

But what the heck is the 'feminine' and why do we need it? Can't we just all try to be better people, grow our careers, and talk about leadership without needing to gender modify it? The answer is NO.

If we desire to create a world in which there is pay equity, gender equity, connection instead of isolation, where we grow ourselves, our families and our work/business in ways that sustain and nourish us vs like some crazy Monsanto accelerated growth model, we have to LEARN what the feminine is... REVEAL the full range of our power... and then VALUE and APPLY a different way to work, live and lead.

There's much to say about Feminine Leadership and we are not going to cover it all today - I don't want to add to your overwhelm love! I want to give you the path out of it, which feminine leadership and wisdom offer us.

After studying tradition leadership for over two decades and realizing it didn't have what I needed as a woman or as a human who didn't want to perpetuate a domination and consumption model for business and living, I sought out 'the feminine' (even though I had no idea what that was at the time. Over the last decade I've applied this Wisdom to my own life and work and shared it with many more. 

Today, is the start of on ongoing conversation here at Feminine Power Time, the first of our deep dives into Feminine Leadership, a way of living, working and creating I've devoted my life to teaching and living. 

For today's session "Feminine Leadership: What Does it Look Like to Lead As a Woman?" we will dive into 5 foundational realms of Feminine Leadership, so we can open up to some deeper wisdom, new insights and expanded possibilities that and support us in being the change we wish to see, including:

• The Power Spectrums of feminine power and masculine power - what are these and why do we need them to access our full power and wisdom?
• Why the way we think about masculine power and the patriarchal power disempowers us 
• Why Mama Nature is the go-to expert on getting out of overwhelm - and how we've been conditioned to ignore her and how we've been distanced from what humans once knew intuitively to sustain life but is not called woo woo  
• How we each contribute to the pay inequity and the disrespect we see women receiving from men and vice versa - it's not easy to embrace this but we will never have pay equity or equal rights or women and girls being valued and respected if we don't look at how we ourselves don't value the feminine, within ourselves and in how we work and lead 
• Why feminine leadership has to be part of the path to elevating human leadership, and creating a new model for what leadership in business, politics, education, government, families, healthcare looks like

When we lead naturally as a whole woman we embody both our masculine and feminine powers in ways that naturally lead us to creating realities that create more harmony, sustainability and prosperity. 

We will end this Feminine Power Time with a short meditation that leads you to connect with HOW big a difference you are making -so you can stop pressuring yourself and start acknowledging yourself. And will help you take the pressure of taking on more responsibility than is yours... feminine leadership leads us to just do our part.

Couples who dream together thrive together. People who are clear and centered in their own dream create partnerships that support them to soar. Sadly, most of us have never been taught how to create such relationships. We are kinda clueless about what 'dreaming' together really is, and how to create the kinds of relationship where both people's dreams can be met.

It's so easy to get bogged down by the day to day reality that our relationships can become all about getting through our lives, taking care of the money, kids, house vs. have a shared dream that inspires each person and holds the center for how you make your life choices. 

Or if you are single, and are not clear on your personal dream or you don't have an imprint of what a true strong partnership looks like, you can end up choosing a mate who isn't capable of supporting you to create the life your heart and soul desires.

Over the past 17 years, I've had the honor of knowing (and living with, working with and being in sacred partnership) with one of the wisest people I know when it comes to relationships and how people work and don't work within them... my soul partner, Noah Martin, and man who has helped many women, men and couples get clear on their dreams, strengthen their connection, change their roles and open to more love.

So I've invited Noah to join us for this Feminine Power Time with me Christine Arylo, Dream Partnerships: Creating a Relationship Where Both People Thrive. I like to invite Noah to join us every so often to share a man's point of view and truthfully straight up good practical wisdom on relationships.

We can't talk about Feminine Power and Feminine Leadership if we also don't talk about relationship, because our relationships have a huge impact on our ability to have the impact we desire, do our sacred work and be supported along the way. Here's what we dive into...  

• What is 'dreaming' really and why is it essential to any great partnership - couples who dream together grow together. 
• How do you create conversations to come up with a shared dream? And what if your partner is resistant to talking about such things?
• Why so many couples struggle or get stuck in the mundaneness of life - and how having a personal and collective dream shifts that. 
• How to identify the poles and roles you can play into that cause one person to feel like they are sacrificing themselves for the other, and how to NOT do that.

Dreams are the fuel that allows you to live your life in connection and joy, even when stuff gets hard.

How do we "BE" with what we are seeing in the world all around us - the anger, the greed, the disrespect, the separation, etc. etc.- without becoming consumed by it, sucked into it or feeling like we have to spiritually bypass it? How do you speak up, stand up and show up to be the agent of change, truth, compassion that you desire to be, when everything feels so overwhelming, compressed and out of control?

The yogis predicted we would come to this time of madness. Our role is to be able to stay present with what is happening in this world, be agents for change and elevation, not forces who add to the chaos, frenzy and fear. 

How do you stay present with what's happening in the world without being overcome by it? Whether it's happening in politics, in power plays on your job or in relationships, or in your community or within yourself, we need super powers and wisdom for staying present with what is, staying human in the process, but not becoming part of the very things we wish to change. 

In this Feminine Power Time, with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, MBA and Wisdom Teacher, dive in for:

• How to tell when you have been sucked up into the frenzy and fear machine and are being affected by the madness in unhelpful ways - so you can shake it off and stay centered in what is real
• Why so many of us are feeling so compressed, overwhelmed and like the world is out of control - elevate out of the chaos to see what is really happening
• 3 'wisdom bytes' that will empower you to be present with what is happening in the world without being overcome by it or letting it distract you from your purpose and part
• How we speak up and stand up to be forces of elevation and humanity vs. adding to the fear, frenzy, isolation and domination.
• The difference between the cowardly act of condoning and the courageous act of human compassion 
• The bigger story happening right now for us as humanity - and how to be at choice as to how you play the 'game' and do your part to change the story. 
• How to tap into your part to play in making the change you wish to see so you can be your sacred rebel Jedi self. A force for freedom and elevation!

Chaos loves to speed things up. But we lose our power when we become part of the sand storm. We embody our power when we stand still in the midst of it, see what is real, see the fear game being played. We gain an elevated perspective that empowers us to act in ways that can create powerful change. 

This is the time to start slowing down, not speeding up. We need to step out of our daily rhythyms to hear the deeper wisdom within.

Join Christine for her yearly Women's Wisdom Quest: Sacred Rebels. Sacred Work Nov 2-4th the best time for deepening your access to wisdom. www.FeminineWisdomRetreat.com 

Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.

The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force  - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.

In this Feminine Power Time with women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overhwelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference. 

Tune into this Power Pause and:

• Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home
• Experience the feminine way of growing our work and impact vs tackling projects, driving like a torpedo, or pressuring ourselves to make things happen too fast
• Tap into your heart and mind to feel what's just not working for you in your life right now - so you can gain the power to make small but might changes
• Reveal what in your health, wealth or home is out of balance or needing attention that's making it hard to be the fully powerful and present leader and person you desire to be
• Gain clarity on how to best focus your attention the last part of this year

Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School, Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.

When you are 'tuned in' to your inner wisdom and your channel is clean and clear, wow can you step forward with courage, stay focused on what matters, and make wise choices for yourself, your work/business and in your relationships. But when your wisdom channels are blocked up or mucked up, wow can you make some bad choices, shrink back, spin out, work too hard and give too much and generally create havoc vs harmony for yourself. 

But how do you know if your inner guidance system is tweaked out vs tuned in? 

I just had to add this bonus Feminine Power Time to complete our series of Feminine Wisdom: What is it? Why is it essential? How do you use it? It will be the 5th in this Feminine Wisdom Series. Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher, for a conversation we have to have to make sure we are responding from our truth vs reacting from our fear.

If we aren't self aware of how we work inside and understand the signs we are operating from distorted emotions and ideas, we can't support ourselves or get the support we need to face the levels of change, stretch, possibility and uncertainty we face.

Join me and We'll dive into:

• What are the signs that your thoughts and your sense of things are 'tweaked out' vs 'tuned in' - driving you to make unwise choices? 
• How your 3 minds work together to either sabotage or support you - from the ping-pong paradigm, to the obsessive worry, strategizing future tripping mind, to the overly optimistic cheerleader, learn more about how your mind works for and against you.
• How to use your body and your emotions to determine whether what you are thinking and feeling is true or just a distorted reaction based on past imprints and perceived fears
• Why working with your inner critic, gremlin or saboteur doesn't get to the heart of what we need as women to not just deal with the pressures we face, but to transform them and elevate our lives, work, relationships by moving through them. 
• Practices you can use preventatively and in the moment to clear the channels to get to your wisdom , and calm the fear.

I invited a special guest to join us for this Feminine Power Time, Stacey Hoffer, the director of programs at The Path of Self Love School, whose "inner mean girls" = the force that disempowers and distorts your inner wisdom = are different than mine. 

I'm bringing my Achievement Junkie, Move the Bar Belinda, and my Invincible Super Woman, who I haven't named yet! Stacey brought her Rejection Queen and her Overly Optimistic Cheerleader. You will Love their names!

If you'd like to join Stacey and me for this falls Empower Your Inner Wisdom, Expose Your Inner Mean Girl, personal transformation circle, learn more here www.EmpowerYourInnerWisdom.com 

You have the power to change this world and change the systems that you work and live by how and who you show up as, and how you choose to design your life, lead your team, family, business, organization... You have the power to change the things in your life that cause unhealthy and unnecessary pressure. You don't have to accept that 'this is just how things are."

You just need to know how to access and activate the power within you that stems from the depths of your internal feminine wisdom. 

Which is why in this Feminine Power Time, the #4 in our Feminine Wisdom Series, we are diving deep into the feminine wisdom super power of "Harmonic Defiance: The Power to Make Shift Happen, the Feminine Way." 

Harmonic Defiance is:

The power to make shift happen by choosing to design your life and lead your work, team, family, organization, business, in ways that cultivate harmony, to speak up and question that which does not support sustainability and humanity. And then with that feminine power activated, you dare to do things differently.

You are going to love learning about this and applying it directly to your life right now. 

Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, women's leadership advisor, as we explore:

• “What is Harmonic Defiance and Why Do I Need it As a Leader in my Life, Work and Family?" 
• How you can make different choices in how you lead and create that lead to a reality that supports you, if you have the courage to do things differently - in everything from your work, to parenting, to money and healthcare.
• The ways we lead or try to make change that exhaust us, disempower us or make us want to give up - and a different way to approach having the impact you desire to have in your work, family, life, community.  
• Cultivating a "field of harmony" within yourself that has the power to shift relationships and situations on the outside - seriously how can you create harmonious realities out there if you are not feeling harmonious on the inside? 
• "The Pressure Release and Redesign" Power Pause - one of my most powerful tools for releasing the unnecessary pressures that get in the way of you showing up as the most powerful centered presence you can be
• Finding your part in this bigger elevation and shift that's happening ... so you don't have to take it all on, and so you feel the truth that you are part of something bigger!

To learn more about the 3-month personal transformation program, Reform Your Inner Mean Girl, Empower Your Inner Wisdom - it's like rehab for your inner critic and super hero training for your inner wisdom go to www.PathofSelfLove.org 

We live in a time when you just can't plan out your life 3, 5, 10 years in advance and then follow 'the plan' - although our minds and desires for safety would love that. We live in a time when the world is changing fast, and we are each being 'called up' to new sacred assignments, ways of living and working that our soul signed up for.

These 'soul stretches' and catalysts are calling for us each to step out of comfort zones and step into into a zone where we often can't see how it will work out, how it can work out and if it will work out.

This is where the Feminine Wisdom teaching - the feminine super power of Stepping in the Unknown comes in. It's a different way of operating that most of us were not taught, but it is a REAL thing. In this Feminine Power Time, Stepping in the Unknown with Courage and Clarity to Chart the Path Ahead: Planning the Feminine Wisdom Way, the 3rd in our series on Feminine Wisdom, I'll share the wisdom teaching on Stepping in the Unknown. And make it personal for you so you can work with it and can step through the changes coming with grace and courage, feeling and being supported, including:

• Why the way we've been trained to plan and strategize and create goals won't work - and an elevated, wiser way to approach creating your work, life, relationships that does  
• Wisdom about your Soul Codex  - what it is, how it to activate, access and align with it so you can access the wisdom needed to chart your path ahead and find you way 
• How you can find your way through the uncertainty and unknown - so you don't get lost in the dark or get scared and turn back or move too fast or stretch too far and screw yourself up 
• How to create a 'path' for crossing whatever threshold your soul is calling you into - there is a wise way and a stupid way to make changes :) 
• Stories about how I've navigated the unknown to make choices from courage, and worked with other women to cross thresholds - there is wisdom to tell us how to "do" this differently
• Personal reflection and meditation on your current threshold crossings - so we can make sure you don't try and straddle the grand canyon or get lost in the wilderness

If you missed the previous Feminine Wisdom Series episodes, #68 on Intuitive Attunement & #67 on Synchronicity with guest Nilima Bhat from Shakti Leadership, tune in! 

To join me this fall at the Discover Your Feminine Wisdom weekend workshop in San Francisco go to www.FeminineWisdomRetreat.com

To learn more about working with the two inner forces within women and girls - the inner wisdom and the inner mean girl -- through the Path of Self Love Training and Certificate program or the 3-month personal Reform Your Inner Mean Girl. Empower Your Inner Wisdom transformational program go to www.PathofSelfLove.org 

Intuitive Attunement is my second favorite super power feminine wisdom word of the year. And I think you are going to LOVE it too! When you have it, and know how to cultivate it, you have the inner power to make the best choices for yourself, in your career, relationships, wealth, health, home. Without it, you are often being led by the cultural craziness and your own subconscious emotional commotion. 

Intuitive Attunement - you being 'attuned' from the inside out to Divine Wisdom and therefore your own soul wisdom - gives you access to a deep well of wisdom that's connected to your heart and soul - so you can stay true to yourself, and take leaps of faith that backed by sound wisdom. 

It surpasses the mind, which can only create what it has experienced before or seen in others, to access insight, guidance and possibility.  

But most of us were not taught how to develop nor strengthen our power of Intuitive Attunement, so we operate at half our power, make choices that are jaded by past experiences and often drive by fear, lack or scarcity. 

Which is why I've created this Feminine Wisdom Series, focused on a few of the aspects of Feminine Wisdom that we need as leaders and women now. Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor for this Feminine Power Time episode "Intuitive Attunement: Super Power Your Connection to Divine Wisdom" (#2 in the series) where we dive into:

• What is Intuitive Attunement? and why this is a word you want to add to your vocabulary and a skill you want to strengthen
• The 6 channels of Intuitive Power - and how to discern which ones are your strongest to attune to
• What blocks or muddles up your access to Divine Wisdom and your clarity to act in accordance with your inner wisdom?
• What is essential to make sure you have in your life to strengthen your inner clarity and be a clear channel to receive guidance and wisdom?

** And of course, we make this personal with a double dog feminine wisdom dare to attune to your inner wisdom and take a leap this week in an area of your life calling for change or expansion.** Tune in. Take the dare. And start to strengthen your Intuitive Attunement.

** If you missed the first in the series on Feminine Wisdom "SYNCHRONICITY: The power of working with the flow" make sure to listen to the previous episode, #67 with special guest, Nilima Bhat, author of Shakti Leadership.

Of course we all want to live in the flow. Have things - invitations, opportunities, people, resources - 'come to us' vs having to go out and kill the proverbial meat or attack our lives and work like pushing a boulder up a hill. If given the choice between having to hustle, network like crazy, and make stuff happen OR having the experience where I'm guided to where to focus, when to act, where things come to me, I'm choosing the latter. Less stress, more spacious. Less pressure, more peace. 

But how do you create synchronicity? How do you get into the flow, and most important, how do you stay there? So what you NEED comes to you vs. you exhausting yourself physically to make it happen or mentally to figure out how to plan and strategize to happen? This is the realm of Feminine Wisdom.

The feminine super powered way of living, leading and succeeding, that most of us were not taught in our traditional education or on the job training. 

Which is why it's the focus for this week's Feminine Power Time: "Synchronicity & Shakti Leadership: Working with Feminine Power so Things Happen for You Vs. Pushing and Planning" It's the 1st in a 3 part series (maybe 4, we'll see) on FEMININE WISDOM - what is it, how do you find it and how do you work with it? 

I invited a new soul sister to our session today, Nilima Bhat, author of Shakti Leadership, a woman I've been aware of for about 2 years, have wanted to meet, but instead of making it happen, the Great Mama orchestrated a meeting for us over Spring Equinox "unplanned" (more on that in the show, you;ll love this Synchroncity Story!)

I invite you join Nilima and I for this feminine wisdom session, where together we will all explore:

• HOW Sychroncity works - you can't really make it happen, but you are an active participant in it happening. How does that work?
• How to tell when you are pushing vs. when you are in the feminine flow - how does it FEEL so you can know?
• The Inner Practices you can put into place to make sure you are  operating in Synchronicity Receiving mode - so you can live in and move with the flow 
• Why this powerful way of living and leading, where intuition and synchronicity are normal ways we operate isn't taught or talked about in our educational or on the job trainings. 
• What our lack of access to our feminine power and wisdom has to do with why we push so hard, feel like we have to work so hard, and over plan as a way to feel okay 
• How to start bringing more feminine wisdom, synchroncity, flow and Great Mama mojo into your life, so you are operating within your aligned center of power
