Unlock Your Feminine Power: Heal Masculine & Feminine Energy for Flow, Wisdom & Magnetic Presence
What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t about doing more, but about living in one-speed mode in a world that wasn’t designed for your full power? In this transformative finale of the Unapologetic Feminine Awakening: Rebel, Rise, Radiate series, we dive deep into the sacred dance between your inner masculine and feminine energies—and reveal why mastering this rhythm is the key to unstoppable flow, aligned power, and magnetic presence.
I uncover why traditional roles and societal conditioning rarely honored the empowered feminine, leaving us divided, exhausted, and out of flow. Then, I show you the practical, daily ways to reconnect with both your masculine (structure, safety, execution) and feminine (intuition, creativity, emotional alchemy) energies, so you can move with clarity instead of force, and rest without guilt.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🎤 The essential cycle to thrive: receive, act, rest, repeat
🎤 How to recognize the subtle signs that you’re forcing outcomes or overthinking
🎤 Daily practices to restore balance, presence, and inner flow
🎤 How to heal the split within yourself, relationships, and society
🎤 How to create safe containers for emotional expression and aligned action🎤 Why trusting outcomes over narratives unlocks your highest power
🎤 How integrating masculine and feminine energy deepens relationships, enhances creativity, and magnetizes connection
We explore why healing yourself is the first step to healing relationships, guiding others, and stepping fully into your highest purpose. This episode is not about gender—it’s about energy, alignment, and reclaiming the part of you the world has tried to suppress.
If you’re ready to stop forcing, overdoing, and people-pleasing, and start moving in aligned, magnetic flow, hit play, breathe, and take one small shift today. Your body, mind, and relationships will thank you.
Ready to stop shrinking for others? Let this episode be your sign → Step into your Unapologetic Era: https://thefemmecast.com/breakthrough
Hey you guys, what is up and welcome back to the show. Welcome to part six of the unapologetic feminine awakening series and the last and final part. If you have not listened to the previous episodes, don't go now. Hang out. Listen to this one for now and then go back and listen to the previous episodes. You can get everything on the playlist plus the masterclass where we're helping you to unlock your feminine powers. Um, it's all in a playlist, and there are journal prompts and affirmations to support you. There is a link in the show notes below where you can access all of the above absolutely free. Um, and just start binge listening to all the episodes. So we talked a lot about the journey of masculine and feminine. We talked about um where we kind of went wrong on the journey and you know what that's kind of um where that has kind of led us to today. And today we're gonna talk about how we heal all of that um within ourselves and within each other because we have to remember like I can't stress this enough. Masculine and feminine is energies that we both have, like I keep saying both, and I apologize that all people have access to men, women, non-binary, it doesn't matter. We all have access to masculine and feminine energy in varying proportions. Some will lean more masculine, some will lean more feminine. That has no that has no um impact on um it's not affected by gender. It has no impact on sexual orientation or sexual preferences. It is what it is. They are both energies, they exist within everyone, and each and every one of us has our own unique sort of balance of both. One some will again will lean slightly more towards one, and one will lean slightly more towards others. What I have noticed is that typically people who lean more in the masculine direction will attract more feminine partner, and people who lean more in a feminine direction will attract a more masculine partner. Again, gender ain't got nothing to do with it, okay? Um, so um I will say, you know, we definitely need to create some healing in terms of our masculine and feminine energy in like in humanity as a whole, but it has to start with ourselves. Like we have to do the inner work first. When we start to heal ourselves, that's how we create a ripple effect of change and healing. Um, so then we could start to heal each other, start to heal relationships, and then eventually heal the collective. But the work has to start internally first. Men and women. Okay, I like I can't stress this enough. Like, I feel like it's so funny. Like, I feel like this whole series, like people have commented, oh, like, you know, it sounds like you're really angry at men and you're really hating men. And like, no, this is this is healing. We all need to do. We all need to hear heal our inner feminine and and and help her come into her power um and rely a little less on our masculine, which is what we've been taught. So what we're seeing right now in the world and and play out and and in in in in you know, social and political spheres is is this how we've leaned so heavily in our masculine and how the impacts of that, right? Um power struggle, um, you know, um, animosity from one group to the other based on race or religion or color or gender or you know, political points of view. Like we're we're divided on all sides of uh in all direction. And I think that's because we're divided within ourselves. Okay. There's a lot of narratives out there that are saying that, oh, you know, women have to be less feminine and feminine, feminism has been what what you know broke down relationships and and broke down how men and women, you know, work together. I don't think that's true. There's other, there's other um spiritual teachers out there who will say um that the feminine needs to heal and get out of her masculine and into her heart space. I think we all need to heal and get out of our masculine and and be spend more time in our heart space. And I'm gonna explain, like I know that my perspective does not agree with some of some of the other thought leaders on there out there. Um, and I'm okay with that, but this this is what I believe is actually gonna create the shift that we need in ourselves and each other and in humanity. Um, so hear me out. Like, let's let's let's dive into this for a second, okay? So we start by healing on the inside, right? We healing with healing ourselves, healing our ability to be in both our masculine and our feminine, maybe not at the same time, but being able to kind of move between the two. Like we're there's gonna be times where we're gonna want to lean more in our feminine, and there's gonna be times where we're gonna want to lean more in our masculine. And I need, I think we need to learn to be able to flow comfortably between the two. No suppressing, no overpowering, no um, you know, giving giving um giving more uh face time to one than the other. Um, that's what we've seen. So we up until this point, let's just break it down, right? In a nutshell, up until this point, men have pretty much had their, you know, um what's it called? Their their their um free pass to be in their masculine a hundred percent of the time. None of them have really been taught unless, I mean, they're you know, some of some, you know, some newer generations are are being more conscious of this. But um, for the most part, none of them have really been given the permission to be in their feminine. Um, they certainly weren't encouraged to do that in school, they certainly weren't encouraged to do that when they were younger. Um, my generation, it was uh, you know, you did not encourage your son to be in his masculine. That did not happen at all. Um, I don't know if that's the case with families today. Um, but you know, I I I I think I can I can safely say that if you're from my generation, I've now just recently turned 51. If you're in my generation or prior, boys were taught to be boys. Like there was no, you know, there was no room for being in your feminine energy as a boy. You were cut off from your feminine energy completely. Now, having said that, okay, having said that, many women will all many people will also say that women have also been very heavily in their masculine ever since, you know, the feminist movement, which was we talked about in the first episode, I believe, was women stepping into their masculine role so that they can create a safe space for their feminine to heal and rise. So we actually needed that evolution. We needed that to happen, and we still need it to happen because you know what? We still got work to do. We're not done. There's still imbalances in rights with women and men, there's still gender violence against women, there's still discrimination against women um in our schools and our institutions and our governments. Um, and so, you know, for many reasons, we do need to be able to access our masculine. Now, let's look at women prior to the feminist revolution, uh, the feminist movement, sorry. Um were they in their feminine? They, you know, I mean, I mean, I guess you can say, what, because they cooked and cleaned, um, and they smiled a lot and they were pleasant and supported their husbands and ironed their shirts and took care of their kids. Is that what it means to be a in your feminine? Because it's not. And I don't know where that distortion ever took place. So women actually weren't allowed to be in their feminine either. They also weren't allowed to be in their masculine. They were actually completely oppressed until the feminist movement took place. And when the feminist movement took place, they started to step into their masculine so they could make space for their feminine to rise and heal, like I said. And so now we're seeing some women really start to step into like we stepped into our masculine, we, we, we, we, we, we, we sort of started to master that. And now we're we're starting to take more active steps to step into our feminine and learn to empower and work with that. But also, again, we're not done. Okay. There's still a lot of work to do. Um, but you know, that's kind of how I put a nice neat little bow on, you know, the last like 50 years or whatever it is, 100 years. Um let's just start by, you know, being first off, you know, when we're talking about being in masculine and feminine, when we can balance these two energies within ourselves, that is when we are the most powerful we can be. Okay. We literally have the power to create worlds, okay, within us. And whether intentional or unintentional, and I do believe this was intentional, the feminine and the feminine energy within us was suppressed. Feminine energy is actually very powerful. Um, feminine energy is actually intuition, it is creativity, right? And creation energy, not just about creating babies, you guys. Okay, this is a this this is all kinds of creation. So it's intuitive, it is uh in uh creative energy, it is wisdom, it is emotional intelligence, it is it is flow, it it is being uh able to access your flow state, your most empowered, flow, creative, powered state. Okay, the masculine is the structure, it's the balance, it's the safety, is the protection. It's it's it's it's taking it's taking the it if you if you picture the two energies working together, the masculine creates a safe container for the feminine to be in her creative expression. The the feminine will download creative ideas and and innovation, and and the masculine will like make it happen. These are how these two energies work within us. When we can bring these energies into balance within ourselves, we become unstoppable as beings. And so what happens is when we can do that, when we when we can bring these energies into union within ourselves, we come, we come into union as within, so without, we come into union in our with our world around us. We come into union with other people, we we start to we start to co-create together, we start to make magic together, we start to create worlds together, we start to create shifts together, we start to create the most powerful and innovative change. And that is because we are working in harmony with our masculine and feminine energies, both within and without. Does this make sense? Like, rewind this if you need to. Like, this is really important, okay? And so it's very important to remember that both men, women, um, non-binary, we all have access. And I I apologize that I keep saying both. There is my conditioning really coming through. Um, and I'm trying to own that as best as I can. But when I start to speak, when I start to channel, unfortunately, a lot of my like a lot of where I've been conditioned can sometimes come through in my language or my choice of words. And that's just because um it is, it has been, you know, so ingrained for me. So, you know, that's all of us have access to masculine and feminine energy. So that means men can be in their feminine, they can be intuitive, they can access flow, they can be, um, they can, they can um harness emotional intelligence and emotional alchemy and wisdom and truly embody it. Women can be in their masculine, we can create, we we well, sorry, we can build, we can create structures, we can create safety, we can, we can create protection. If you don't believe me, look at a mother with her child, right? You telling me that's feminine that I mean, yes, sometimes she can might be in her feminine, but a lot of the times a mother is in her masculine, she is protecting, she is providing, she is creating a foundation. That is not feminine energy, that is masculine. Okay, so we absolutely, everybody needs to be able to switch to and from masculine and feminine, ebb and flow, yin and yang. And we need to, you know, it's one of these things that needs to be very um cyclical. If you look at it, you know, the way I break it down, and and there's going to be nuances, and sometimes we'll toggle back and forth. But basically, what it is is, you know, it's about stepping into our feminine energy first, getting into flow state, get tapping into creativity, tapping into intuition, getting a download of idea. Once we have that download of idea, then the masculine steps in. The masculine starts to step in, starts to take action, starts to do the thing, set up the structure, set up the foundation, move all the moving parts to get everything um in align so that that whatever that download was, that inspired idea, that intuition can be made into physical. And then once that it's made into physical and that work has been done, again, very nuanced, we'll talk and back and forth between the two constantly. Once that's done, we go back into feminine, we rest, um, we tune into our intuition, we we feed our creative channels and until the next intuitive hit comes along. And that's how we're basically supposed to move through life. Every single one of us. Now, you mean to tell me that we have built a society in a world where we are given time and space as men or women or non-binary or whatever you identify with, you mean to tell me that we've created a society. We've created systems, institutions, religions, churches, synagogues, schools where we teach people. So you're gonna take action. So you're gonna sit down, you're gonna get creative ideas, and you're gonna get downloads, and then your masculine is gonna kick in and you're gonna take action. And then once the action is taken and you build a foundation and you build the thing, then you're gonna go back into your feminine and you're just gonna take a pause and you're just gonna take a rest and you're gonna let creativity flow and you're gonna get creative, you're gonna let creativity run run wild again, and you're gonna get into flow state again, and then you're gonna wait for that next inspired idea, and then boom, take action. Do you mean to tell me that in anywhere in the world we've been taught that that way of living is okay, whether you identify as a man or a woman or a non-bier or whatever? No. We're all required to take action, we're all required to work, we're all required to um create a foundation. And for those of for those who are fighting for women to be women again and to be at home with the children, that's actually not being in feminine either. Like I said, there's nothing more masculine than a mother taking care of her children, and not for anything, but as women, we're meant to create a hell of a lot more than just children. Like, doesn't stop there. And for those of us who have not had the opportunity to create children, who have not had the desire to create children, who have not the had the physical ability to create children, like you don't say shit like that. Like, I'm sorry, there's much more that we're capable of in this world than just having children. I'm not saying there's anything wrong out there with women who are having children. I honestly, I wish I could have gone down that road. That, and that is my that is my journey. I wish I could have gone down that road. I didn't. Life had a different path for me. Okay. And you know what? I've made peace with that path. And there are many women out there who just don't have the desire to have children. And I don't think women should be forced to have children if they don't have the desire to do it. And I don't think that that should be made bad or wrong. I think we need to really sit down and ask ourselves: what is it about keeping women at home that makes so many people feel safe? And I think it comes back to, I think we're afraid to let people be in their full power and potential. And I think, well, maybe not all people, but I think there is a force out there that is afraid of people stepping into their full potential because they know that once we step into our full potential, even they can't control what we're capable of. And so I think this narrative, and and and to say, you know, when we talk about the traditional family, man, you know, builds a home, goes to work, provides for his family, the mother stays home, takes care of the children, puts dinner on the table, and is pleasant and smiley and supportive of her man, neither one of neither the man nor the woman are in their empowered state. Because the man is cut off from his feminine, and so is really the woman. Neither one of them has access to their empowered feminine. They're actually both in very masculine roles. If if if we're really like breaking it down, they're just two different expressions of the same thing. Like neither one of them is in their empowered feminine where they're accessing flow and creativity and in and intuition and and and higher wisdom. Neither of them. So there is a huge part of a power source that we are discouraging people from accessing, that the world is discouraging us from accessing, and we need to start shutting that down. And the way that we shut that down is again, it has to be an internal choice. So if you're listening to this podcast and you're liking what I'm saying about feminine empowerment, you can do this work. You can do this work by starting to recognize when you're in your masculine and what that looks like, when you're in your feminine and what that looks like, and being able to bring some balance between those two energies. Because the other thing that feminine energy is, it's also healing, it's also empathy. And these are two things, these are two energies that are very, very much lacking in today's society. We are very much lacking empathy, we are very much lacking healing. And the more we keep pushing action and strategy and power and accountability and and you know um safety and protection, we're losing sight of what's really gonna heal this planet and all of us as a humanity, and that is the empathy piece, right? And the healing piece. And so when we can give ourselves permission, you know, no matter what we identify as, when we can give ourselves permission to be in both our masculine and our feminine and just start to pay attention, right? When are you taking action? When are you strategizing? When are you thinking? When are you using logic and reason? Um, and and and and and being in in in protector kind of energy, right? That is when you're in your masculine. So pay close attention to when you do that and what that feels like and what triggers you to do that. And then pay close attention to when you're feeling like you're forcing, when you feel like you have to force the doing, the, and and this is for women too. When you feel like you have to force checking off your to-dos, when you feel like you're constantly overthinking and overanalyzing and and and constantly worrying and and and second guessing yourself, when you feel like everything that you're trying, nothing is working, nothing is working out the way that you want it to, that's a sure sign that it's time to go into your feminine. That's when you know. When it starts to feel like you're spinning your wheels and you keep doing something, it's doing things and you're getting nowhere, you're working harder, you're getting less pay, you're working more hours, you're not getting ahead, um, you're investing more and more to get to to take care of your family, but your family's falling apart. That's a sign that it's time to go into your feminine. That's a sign that it's time to stop, slow down, take a rest, tap into flow state. Allow yourself to be open to what you might receive and just wait and be in creative energy until you receive the inspired idea, then take action again. So we have to be able to start to step in and out of one and the other. And this is gonna, it's gonna be clunky, it's gonna be messy, we're gonna fumble it, and it's okay. The important thing is that we're mindful of it. And if you've downloaded, um if you've downloaded the masterclass in the playlist, there are some great journal prompts in there to support you and some great affirmations to support you. Um, but really, and and we I do break down in the masterclass the nine feminine superpowers that are actually going to help you with all of these things, they're gonna help you with intuition, they're gonna help you to let go of control, they are going to help you to um tap into creativity. Um, all the things that we're talking about, all the things that are gonna really help you to step into and embody your divine feminine power, um, is the the tools are there. And it literally takes minutes to switch and turn off the masculine switch and turn on the feminine switch. And that's when you're gonna get the clarity. That is when you're gonna get the um the clarity, the creative idea, the inspiration, um, the inner knowing, right? That's when you're gonna get the guidance that you keep looking to your external world for. That is when the solutions are gonna fall in your lap, is when you can kind of go back and and and be in your feminine. And so the way we heal that within ourselves, right? If we look at, you know, what happened with the feminist movement, women stepped into their masculine energy to create a safe space for the feminine. So we need to create a safe space, and that's part of the healing process. We need to create a safe space for the feminine. So, what does that look like, right? For women, again, it was the feminist movement, but well, how do we do that individually? Carve out time to be in your feminine um embodiment, carve out time to to dance, to play, to write, to journal, to reflect, to meditate, to just, you know, do creative things just for the sake of doing creative things, not because they yield a return, right? And that goes for men too, right? And and non-binary, take a time out to be in your feminine, carve out that time and space, right? I when it comes to gender, and this is really important, you guys, when it comes to gender, I think we need to, you know, because I typically women can be more in their emotional body than men, because more, you know, more often than not, women do lead more feminine than they do masculine, and vice versa. Um, men lean more towards masculine than feminine, but not a rule, just generally. So this means as women, we also need to give space to the masculine and let them know that it's safe for them to feel their emotions when they're ready. We can't push this on them, right? Um, just like you don't want to be pushed to feel something, neither do they. And you know, they've been taught it's on, but the whole world, we need to create a safe space for the masculine to step into his feminine, to feel, to move through um their emotions, to access emotional alchemy, to access creativity, to access empathy, right? And that's gonna be an uncomfortable process because that's been suppressed for a very long time. So we need to make space for that. We also need to create safety for the feminine, right? We need to create the structures, the foundation. We need to create the institutions that are gonna allow for feminine energy and allow her to feel safe. This means also creating the foundations and the institutions that are safe for women. Do you see where I'm going with this? Only then are we gonna heal this divide because otherwise we're always gonna be playing on opposite sides of the fence. We have to give what the other needs and with with to ourselves. Like we have if we identify as feminine, we have to give space to our masculine. If we identify as masculine, we have to give space to our feminine, first within ourselves and then for each other. That's how we heal this. Because we can when we can both tap into our natural balance of masculine and feminine, that's when we heal ourselves. That's when we can ask access to higher love and higher wisdom, and that's when actually we can create more intimate and close connected relationships with each other. That it has to start with ourselves first, it has to start, it's an internal job, and it starts with everyone, not just men, not just women, not non-binary, not transgender. Everybody has to do this work. This is when we become the most powerful humans. And I believe that this has been intentionally kept from us because they knew that if we discovered how powerful we are in our masculine and feminine when they're when they're in balance and when they're in harmony, they would never be able to control us. And so they've tried everything in their power to control us. And when I say they, I don't mean men. Okay. I mean patriarchal conditioning, I mean patriarchal institutions, governments, churches, religion. Um, all of it has, I believe, been distorted to serve a patriarchal agenda, right? And that's the part, that's those are the cracks that we're seeing in now. Though that's what we're seeing slip through the cracks and become it, it's becoming so it's it's so obvious, it's hard not to see anymore. Um, and I think as more and more people start to wake up to this, I think more and more people are gonna start to realize, hey, I don't think we know the full full story here. And I don't think we do. I don't know if we ever will. What I do know is that we have to start trusting ourselves more, not what we're told. We have to start trusting what we're seeing, not what we're hearing, right? It's that it's like that, it's like that saying in relationship. Um, trust what they do, not what they say. Right? Because people can say anything, but it's what they're doing that tells you really who they are and how they're being. That's what tells you who they are. So um I think when we can start, like I said, I can't say this enough, when we can start to make safe spaces for our feminine to lean, to, to, to lean into that energy and allow it to be expressed through us, and then all like being able to oscillate between our masculine and our feminine and provide opportunity for both, um, knowing when to bounce back from one of the other. So you'll know when you're ready to bounce out of your masculine. What like I said, when you're overthinking, overanalyzing, over-strategizing, you're burnt out, you're tired, you're exhausted, and everything you're doing, nothing is working. Everything is doing the exact opposite of what you want. And I've experienced this firsthand recently. And that's when I and I've been trying to settle back into my feminine, and it's been hard. It's scary, it's uncomfortable because there's no guarantees, there's no rhyme or reason, there's no logic behind it. It goes against everything that we've been taught to do. So I've had to like really face some of my worst fears and saying, you know what, it's okay. I've the universe has my back, everything is gonna be okay. I know this route has not been working. No matter how much I keep pushing and striving and strategizing and trying to force and trying to control, all I keep doing is pushing things further away. That's when you know it's time to step into your feminine. And it is uncomfortable because your worst fears will come up. Because this world has told you, but if you don't work hard, you'll won't be, you won't be okay. You're not gonna survive, you won't do well, you're not gonna have money, you won't have a relationship, you won't survive if you don't have a relationship. Who are you if you're a if you're a woman without a relationship and a man in her life? If you act like this, you won't have you'll never be able to get a man. If you're in your if if if you're a feminist, you'll never have a no man will ever love you. He would want to be with you if you're from like there's so much. You have to ignore all of that and sit, create sit in that creativity, sit in that flow, do the emotional alchemization and trust that the intuitive guidance is going to come through when the time is right. And when it does, that's when it's time to go back into taking action. And so you jump right back into your masculine and you start to take action, you lay the foundations and you and and you make the decisions and you and you set up the strategy and you get everything ready, you hit go, and then it's time to go back into your feminine, take a time out, get back into flow and creativity and and self-nurturing, and just keep going back and forth between these two energies. And that is when we become our most powerful. Um, and taking those timeouts that we need to be in our feminine can can feel really uncomfortable. They can bring up our worst fears because, like I said, everything in society has been designed to keep us from. That we're constantly being asked to do. We're constantly being asked to take care of. We're constantly being asked to be productive, to complete checklists of shit that at the end of the day we don't even know what we've done. Like we've done so much, you know? Um, and so yeah, it is uncomfortable to be in your feminine, whether you're no matter what you identify as, doesn't matter. It's always uncomfortable. But know that it's the more uncomfortable it is, the more important it is for you to do that work until it becomes comfortable, until you can easily oscillate between the two. And that's when you know you've taken your power back from all the programming and conditioning that has tried to keep you in a disempowered state. Okay. Um, so hopefully that makes sense. We're gonna be talking a lot more of this on the podcast. So stick around. Let me know which part of this episode or even this series resonated for you the most, what you take away from it and what you're gonna apply to your life today.
