    The Deepest Desire Of The Feminine

    In this episode, Susan weighs in on one of the trendiest talking points of the times - masculine and feminine polarity. Susan's approach to this topic is to address one of the common beliefs espoused by many polarity coaches... that a man's financial provision is what allows a woman to be in her feminine (he provides = she receives). She references key areas where we are giving our power away as both men and women, and she also delves the deepest desire of the feminine. Susan emphasizes that anyone contributing to the polarity conversation has a responsibility to bridge rather than further the divide. She reminds us to step back whenever we find ourselves pointing fingers at each other without understanding the role that we play in how the other is showing up. Key points covered in this episode: What was it that caused women to lean more into their masculineThe orchestrated divide against men and womenHow much the feminine empowerment movement actually empowered womenWhy financial security cannot replace emotional security for a womanWhat does it really mean to receive?Emotional unavailability in men and it's impact on women being in her feminineMen who say that a woman should "be his peace"Masculine containment - what it is and what it is notHow to *actually* get a woman to soften into her feminineWhy an awakened woman loves it when men set boundaries and can call her outTaking our power back from situation-shipsWhy we cannot communicate with men in the way we speak with our girlfriendsRemembering that we are on the same team and unity is the goalWe hope you enjoy this juicy episode!
