In today's world, there's a lot of discussion about masculine and feminine energy, especially in relation to the dynamics of various types of relationships. In our latest episode, we dive into the dynamic balance between masculine and feminine energies. Drawing from our own personal journeys, we unravel the challenges and revelations we've encountered in navigating these roles, and the importance of choice in how to show up in each of these roles

As independent women, we discuss the challenges of being deeply rooted in masculine energy and how this can sometimes hinder the formation of connections with potential partners. We also explore the necessity of allowing ourselves to embrace our feminine energy and to let others take the lead.

This episode isn't just about identifying these energies; it's about understanding how to fluidly shift between them in various aspects of your lives. Whether in your careers or personal relationships, understanding and mastering this balance can profoundly influence the dynamics of your interactions and bring you closer to fulfilling your desires.

In this latest episode, we dive into the often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of personal and professional growth by learning how to receive. Join us as we share our personal experiences and insights on the challenges and importance of learning how to receive support, love and even simple acts of kindness.

We discuss how societal norms, especially for women, have ingrained a tendency to give more than we receive, often leading to burnout and a sense of imbalance. Our conversation explores the deep-rooted psychological factors that make receiving difficult, from our own stories to the pressures of maintaining a certain image in our careers and personal lives.

This episode is not just about the struggles; it's a journey of self-discovery and learning to embrace vulnerability. We talk about the significance of asking for help, the freedom it brings, and the importance of trusting others to support us in our endeavors. It's a reminder that true strength lies in a balanced give-and-take in relationships.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a professional, or anyone trying to navigate the complexities of modern life, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of receiving and how it can transform your journey toward success and fulfillment. Join us as we unravel the layers of this vital, yet often neglected aspect of our lives.

The topic of narcissism has played an important role in this podcast. After all, it’s how we initially bonded and came together over our own personal experiences with narcissism and our exes.  Many of us have been affected by narcissists in our life, sometimes  unknowingly, without any true validation for the mental and emotional abuse endured. However, we can personally attest that it is life changing once you gain clarity and validation for the suffering you have been experiencing. It can be a catalyst to truly heal and detox from these types of people and hopefully rid yourself of attracting these types of people into your life again.

This is why we are so grateful to bring you this episode. Ben Taylor of Raw Motivations is a Self-Aware Narcissist who is on his path of healing while helping others along the way. He is bringing awareness to narcissism and healing to those who have suffered from narcissistic abuse. We know this is a hot topic as of late, but narcissism is a topic that needs to be addressed in a real and responsible way. After all, the only path to heal anything is to acknowledge it exists and begin to create change one step at a time.

Ben Taylor
Ben Taylor of Raw Motivations is a Self-Aware Narcissist promoting awareness, growth, healing and change. He is on his own journey of healing and growth bringing awareness on narcissistic abuse and how it has affected his life and others. He works daily with Narcissistic Abuse Survivors to find healing and be free from trauma and he also interacts with Narcissists to try to wake them up and help them change.

Why Taking Your Own Advice Isn’t Always Easy 

How often do you find yourself giving great advice but struggle to apply it to your own life? Well you’re not alone! Doing this podcast week after week has allowed us to literally replay to ourselves the advice we are giving to others, to a point where we say this quite often. This inspired us to explore this concept and  uncover the struggles around why it’s so hard to take your own advice.
