Whew ok - this is a BIG episode, full of lots of ideas that you may find just a little bit spicy. I talk about healthy masculinity, healthy femininity, the beauty of masculine and feminine polarity, and the ways in which contemporary feminism has set women up to fail by entrenching us in iron castles, preserving our trauma rather than healing us from it. I touch on my own gender and trauma healing journey and how healing trauma has also created space for me to connect with my inner divine feminine energy, and to recognize healthy masculine energy when it shows up. Femininity doesn’t have to be scary, dangerous, or put us at risk; it is easier for women to unfurl and blossom in our feminine energy when we are with men who are in their healthy masculine. NOTE: In this episode I do speak in energetic gender binaries - if that’s not for you, it’s ok! Most of my work involves discussing energy and polarity in gender neutral ways. It’s now time for me to get more specific about these energies and how they can play out in our lives.
