In today’s solo episode, join me as I share my journey of redefining femininity by balancing both feminine and masculine energies within myself. I talk about moving away from societal norms and focusing on my true self. Inspired by the book "The Wild Feminine" by Tammy Lynn Kent, I am learning to lean into releasing emotions and reconnecting with my body. Together, let’s work on cultivating feminine energy into our lives to avoid exhaustion from living in a masculine-driven way, and to embrace our pleasure, creativity, and self-care.
