153: I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable Monica Yates, a trauma healer, feminine masculine embodiment coach and period whisper. We dove into an enlightening conversation about femininity, masculinity, and how modern movements have unintentionally devalued the inherent aspects of our biological identity. Monica shed light on her personal journey of growing up in a society where femininity was seen as a weakness, leading her to suppress her inherent feminine energy.

Through our discussions, we explored the complex dynamics of feminine and masculine energies and how they influence our relationships, self-perception, and overall wellbeing. We delved into the importance of women's communities, the ramifications of toxic femininity, and how the fight for women's rights has changed our perception of domestic roles and tasks. Monica shed light on the importance of understanding the differences between men and women and how this understanding is crucial for nurturing healthier relationships.
