The topics of Feminine energy, femininity and feminine embodiment can sometimes feel very black and white. Sheridan, one of my dear friends, and I dive into a conversation that reveals just how much nuance there is around this topic, and how you can feel empowered to reclaim what Feminine and Masculine energy mean to you within the context of your own life.
Sheridan lost all her hair at a very young age, which prompted an early exploration of “what does it REALLY mean to be feminine” and "how can I express my femininity when I don’t fit into societal standards of what a feminine woman looks like". For many years, she struggled in feeling disconnected from her body and inner wisdom and felt like she was searching for answers. Eventually, she began to make her way through those challenges and into empowerment using yoga, meditation, and other mind-body practices. Now, she is a nervous system expert — supporting women to navigate hair loss and body confidence with ease, embrace all the ups and downs of life, and improve their relationships and grow their businesses through nervous system healing. Sheridan has a certificate in Yoga Therapy & Yoga Psychology, and Meditation as Lifestyle Medicine and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy.
In this episode, we bring through a variety of perspectives, including yogic tradition, depth psychology, Jungian archetypes, and Tantric philosophy to not only offer a wider perspective of how you may come to understand… but how you can actually begin to embody this energy in your day-to-day.
