Feminine energy isn't weakness but wisdom Let’s be clear: flow isn’t about doing nothing. It isn’t surrendering your agency. It’s a dance: a delicate interplay between movement and stillness, action and intuition, masculine drive and feminine receptivity. It’s knowing when to step forward and when to let the current carry you.In our culture, we’ve been trained to overvalue the push, the effort, the grind. I’ve been there.Long stretches of overwork, stress, and burnout… running on empty until my body finally demanded I listen. When I finally did, I realised: there’s a rhythm beyond struggle, a power in ease, a strength in receiving.To be in flow is to trust life. To trust that you are supported even when you pause. To trust that your worth isn’t tied to what you can do, but to the energy you bring simply by being yourself.Feminine energy, soft yet potent, rising to remind us that ease is not weakness… it’s wisdom. A curated experience on Flow Retreat Imagine stepping into a day where you move with intention, nourish your body, awaken your senses, and follow the guidance of your own inner compass. That’s what Flow Retreat is designed to offer: a safe space with like minded women to release the tension of constant doing, to reconnect with your natural rhythm and to feel the luxurious ease of your aligned feminine energy.We are collectively shifting. The era of relentless push is giving way. Force is softening. Flow is returning. With it comes a richer, more vibrant way of living; one where action and stillness,

    127: Reconnecting with your Sensual Self 🌹

    In this episode, we explore what it truly means to reconnect with your sensuality and return to your feminine energy. If you’ve been feeling numb, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will guide you back into your body and your senses. I'll explain why women lose touch with their sensuality, how slowing down can awaken your inner aliveness and simple practices you can begin today to reconnect with your sensuality.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Flow Luxury Self Care Feminine Energy Retreat May 24-30, 2026 Sensuality isn't seduction or sexuality Welcome back, beautiful soul. Take a breath with me… In through the nose… and gently out through the mouth. A moment for yourself to just breathe. In this moment right now, I want to take you into a part of yourself that doesn’t rush, doesn’t perform and doesn’t need to prove anything. A part of you that is just here. You, me and this podcast. The part of you that once felt the world with your whole body… the woman who could taste moments, who could hear the subtle pull of her intuition, who could sense what she needed without thinking. She’s still here. She might be quiet, she might be tired, she might feel far away but she’s not gone. She’s waiting just beneath the surface of your busyness, whispering for you to slow down long enough to notice her. Sensuality is not about seduction. It’s about sensation. It’s about aliveness. It’s the art of being in relationship with your own body not as an object, but as a home. It’s the ability to feel warmth travel across your skin, to notice the way your breath softens your edges, to be awake to the subtle pleasure inside everyday moments. Sensuality is presence, embodied. Feeling and being disconnected from your sensuality Most women don’t actually lose their sensuality: they simply disconnect from it in order to survive. We learn to silence our senses because feeling too much seems inconvenient, too slow, too vulnerable. We move so fast that our bodies can’t keep up, so they shut down the very parts of us that make life rich and textured and deeply feminine. Today is your invitation to reopen those doors… gently, without pressure, without expectation. Sensuality is a key dimension of the feminine. Notice how rare it is to see men slow down simply to taste their coffee, feel the warmth of it in their hands, or breathe into the moment. Yet for women, this kind of slowing down, savouring, and sensing is both natural and transformative. It’s how we reconnect with ourselves, how we reclaim our energy and how we cultivate the radiance that the world notices before we even speak. Sensuality through softness As you listen, see if you can soften your breath. Soften your shoulders. Soften the part of you that thinks she needs to be “on” in order to be okay. Sensuality returns not through effort, but through softening. Through remembering that you’re not meant to brace your way through your own life. You are meant to feel it — in your skin, in your breath, in your whole being. And today, we begin that return together. Your sensual self is the woman who experiences life instead of moving through it on autopilot. She notices warmth on her skin. She hears her own breath. She lets herself taste, touch, feel, receive. Your sensuality isn't broken I’ve had many women through 1:1 coaching or on retreats tell me “I feel disconnected from my feminine energy.” “I don’t feel feminine — I feel flat.” “I don’t feel sensual or sexy, I feel stressed” And they say it or whisper it like it’s a confession or something horrible. Like they’ve failed at being feminine. Yet nothing is wrong with you.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Flow Luxury Self Care Feminine Energy Retreat May 24-30, 2026 General thoughts on beauty Hello my love, You may have seen my recent Instagram post last week where I spoke about healing is in the feeling, in that very same meditation what I felt came through was the desire to speak about beauty. It came through softly, an invitation from the divine and universe to explore more about feminine energy, that’s both magnetic and complex. To be honest it doesn’t come as a surprise to me as Flow, the luxury self care feminine energy retreat I will be running again in Vietnam next year in May 2026 will be launching at the end of this month (if you’re interested please get in touch!). When we talk about beauty, so many different feelings arise. For some, it’s admiration or inspiration. For others, it’s comparison, longing, or even discomfort. Beauty can be something we desire, something we chase or something we feel the need to downplay. It brings up questions of worthiness, identity, visibility and validation. Beauty is multifaceted for women In the feminine journey especially, beauty holds this multifaceted energy it’s something we’re often taught to seek and celebrate, yet it’s also something that can bring unwanted attention, judgment, or pressure. Society tells us beauty is power, but it also tells us to be careful with it, to not shine too brightly (especially tall poppy syndrome which I’ve mentioned a few times on the podcast). Beauty is something you may have complicated relationship with something that, in its essence, is natural and sacred. In today’s episode, I want to unpack that. What beauty really means beyond the surface, how it shapes our sense of self and how we can begin to reclaim it as something soulful, embodied, and free. Learning and unlearning beauty There’s so many layers to beauty from such a young age, we’re shown what beauty should look like in magazines, on screens, in the faces and bodies that get shown to mass audiences. Somewhere along the way, we start to measure ourselves against those images. We learn that beauty equals approval, attention, acceptance. It’s like this silent curriculum that teaches us how to be seen, sure, but not necessarily how to see ourselves. Then as women, we live this strange contradiction. We’re told beauty is our currency, but also that it’s dangerous. It’s confusing bringing alive different parts of our self: one part of us craving to feel beautiful, radiant and alive and another part shrinking from the attention or judgment that might come with that. What if the unlearning is that beauty is simply the energy of being fully yourself…. fully present, fully alive? The way you move when you’re connected to your truth. The light that radiates from you when you’re at peace in your body, in your heart, in your mind, in your life. That’s a different kind of beauty = one that doesn’t depend on validation or visibility. It’s raw, it’s sacred, and it’s yours. Healing and beauty intertwine When I think about healing and beauty together, I realise they’re not that different. Both ask for honesty. Truth.

We’re getting into what is traditionally known as the busiest time of the year but here I am dedicating an episode on the poddy on why rest is more important than ever.I want you to ask yourself a gentle question: When did you learn that rest was wrong?I already know it’s not consciously. You didn’t wake up one day and say, hmm… I think I’ll deny myself rest and build my self worth around exhausted and doing things all the timeYou more than likely absorbed it. Watching the women around you run on empty. Always giving. Always available.  Always doing. You saw that “good women” didn’t stop… They didn’t say no. They didn’t ask for support. They didn’t nap or take long baths or lounge in sunlight.If you’re listening I know more likely than not you want to tap more into your feminine energy and Feminine energy isn’t built on depletion… it’s built on overflow. Signs you have a wounded feminine energy relationship with rest So when you finally try to rest your mind is in complete resistance screaming at youYou’re falling behind.You should be doing something.You haven’t earned this.Everyone needs you.We can rest later, and that later keeps getting pushed out and further as things pop up.Signs you have a wounded relationship with restYou feel anxious when you’re not doing something productiveYou constantly multitaskYou only rest when your body physically forces youYou come up with excuses why you can’t rest right now or even laterYou can’t relax without some sort of stimulation e.g. scrolling, TV, drinking, eatingYou feel guilty spending time alone, unwinding, or doing “nothing”Rest feels foreignYou don’t know what to do when things get quietIf any of these resonate… I want you to put a hand on your heart.Take a breath.There is nothing wrong with you.  It’s because you’ve learnt that rest is dangerous. Maybe rest means you could be forgotten, or in trouble or unloved. You are simply a woman who learned to survive. You're not lazy or lacking discpline when it comes to rest Your nervous system remembers every moment you had to hold the world together alone. So now, when you try to soften, your body panics not because rest is wrong, but because rest was never safe before. That’s not a failure. It’s actually your brilliance. Your survival intelligence. The part of you that says “keep going” is the same part that once kept you safe. She protected you. She carried you. She made sure you survived in environments where softness wasn’t allowed. Now she’s tired. She doesn’t know rest is safe yet and I want you to know: I see her. I see you. You’re not lazy. You’re not lacking discipline. Your nervous system doesn’t know how to feel safe without being go go go all the time. The healing isn’t in forcing rest. It’s in teaching your body that rest is no longer a threat. Not by shaming your resistance, but by honouring it. Listening to it. Softening with it slowly. You don’t need to push yourself to relax.

    123: Softness & Shadows

    In this episode, we explore the quiet underrated and often misunderstood power of softness... not as weakness but as one of the greatest strengths we can embody. Drawing on themes that emerged during my Bali Radiance Retreat, we dive into what it really means to soften in a world that often asks us to harden, to armour up, to stay closed and unshakable.

Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Softness is a strength Hello my love, welcome back to the Grow Through It Podcast with me Phi. I’m back from Bali where I recently ran my Radiance Retreat hence why softness actually has been on my mind a lot lately. It was a huge theme that surfaced during the recent retreat how gentleness, presence, and the ability to soften are not weaknesses, but deep forms of strength. As we explored this on retreat I shared with the beautiful women the realisation that softness doesn’t exist without shadow: the parts of ourselves we hide, suppress like our fears and parts of us, our feelings that we deem as too much or perhaps negative. The world teaches us to harden and armour up Today, I want to talk about both: how softness and shadow live and dance together, and how embracing both can lead to real growth, presence, and connection. We’ll dive into what it means to soften in the face of life’s challenges, to meet our shadows with curiosity and care and to embody strength that is tender yet deeply powerful. For anyone listening, I’ll be diving even deeper into softness and shadow in Flow (luxury feminine self care) Vietnam Retreat next year at the end of May 2026launching very soon, so DM me for more info. Let’s get into it. We all harden at some point in our lives, maybe you are still hard and it’s because you learnt to be this way. The world teaches us to harden. To brace. To armour up. We tighten our shoulders against bad news. We build walls around our hearts after heartbreak. We try to be unshakable in a time that keeps shaking us. While that armor can protect us, it also traps us. We stop feeling the sun on our skin. We stop noticing the rhythm and depth of our own breath. We hesitate to be vulnerable with others, afraid they might hurt us or break our hearts and ironically, it is that very fear that can keep love from flowing in at all. Softness is like water Softening is not about losing strength. It’s about remembering that gentleness is a kind of strength. It means letting the body breathe again. It means letting your jaw unclench, your shoulders drop, your grip relax. Think of it like flow and water. Water flows around obstacles but it shapes mountains. Softening isn’t becoming less. You become vast: spacious enough to hold both strength and surrender, both clarity and compassion. Softening is power and it’s something I return to time and time again working with clients: strength isn’t hardening after you perceive the world or someone or something wrongs you or hurts you… strength is in healing yet remaining true to your nature and if you’re listening to this I have a feeling your nature is loving, kind and respectful. It’s the part of you that keeps choosing softness, even after life gives you every reason to close. Reclaiming softness as the feminine Softness is not your weakness. it’s your essence. It’s your truth. No wound, no betrayal, no disappointment can take that away from you…unless you let it. Softness doesn’t erase the hurt; it simply gives our hearts permission to move through it, to hold both the pain and the possibility of joy. Softness is often seen as a gentle, almost fragile quality but for women, it’s deeply resonant because it’s about reclaiming something that society frequently asks us to suppress. From a young age,

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Eclipse Season September 2025 Hi my love, welcome back to the Grow Through It Podcast with me Phi. It’s been a busy September and one to remember. Today, I’m going to guide and help you unpack another astrological energetic event that carries a lot of weight the Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo happening at the end of this week on September 21st, 2025. Before we dive into the Virgo Solar Eclipse, let’s pause and acknowledge the energy we’ve just moved through. The recent Pisces lunar eclipse stirred up a lot not just personally, but collectively. Pisces energy can feel like standing in deep water: emotions rise, boundaries blur, and suddenly the line between intuition and illusion isn’t so clear. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the news cycle, by floods of information, or even by your own emotions = you’re not alone. Collectively, we’ve been wading through a lot. Here’s the message that’s been coming through spirit: discernment is everything. Not every story we read, not every post we scroll, not every emotional reaction we have is the ultimate truth. Pisces can wash us in empathy, but it can also cloud our vision. This eclipse season is a reminder to breathe, ground, and ask: What feels real for me? What aligns with my inner knowing? Think of it this way... you don’t need to believe everything that passes across your screen, or every passing thought in your mind. Discernment is your anchor in the storm. What is an eclipse? A solar eclipse is like hitting the reset button on life. Imagine your phone freezes, and the only way forward is a restart. That’s what an eclipse does it shuts something down so that something new can begin. Think back to last week’s Pisces Lunar Eclipse. Now this upcoming Solar Eclipse in Virgo happens to land at the very last degree of Virgo, it carries this feeling of finality. It’s like you’re reading the last page of a novel you know the story is closing, but you’re also about to step into a sequel. Virgo–Pisces Axis: The Bigger Story Since September 2024, eclipses have been dancing between Pisces and Virgo, and they’ll continue until 2027. Pisces eclipses: release,
