A powerful way to move into feminine magnetism is literally to MOVE! Whether it's through dance, yoga, improvisation, shaking, or other somatic techniques, moving the body breaks up stagnation and releases built up pressure in the body that is getting in the way of soul's most authentic expression. Once we are able to release and let go of all the blocks standing in the way of our true self, our heart's light can shine through, plump up our aura, and draw all that we could ever wa...
As feminine women, our radiance is meant to shine—but if you’re feeling depleted, hardened, or dull, it’s time to focus on restoring the sparkle in overworked women! The truth is, our female hormone cycle operates differently from the male cycle, yet we’ve been conditioned to function in a world designed around masculine energy. Overworking—whether in a career, school, or home life—can dim your natural glow. If you’re ready to reclaim your vitality, honor your body’s rhythms, and step into yo...

Emotion regulation is defined as "the ability to exert control over one's own emotional state." Women are cyclical beings, and the emotions that flow through us can feel overwhelming at times. In order to have more agency over the way we express our emotions, it is imperative that we understand the way the nervous system works. Emotions like fear, anxiety, and anger are often triggered by our innate survival response. Emotions are inevitable, and emotional regulation a...

Since the feminine way is softness, fluidity, and flow... those of us with a feminine core might feel that when life gets rocky & rough, we are out of alignment. Not so! The human experience, inevitably, will present us with challenges (heart break, death of loved ones, career transitions, etc). It's a good thing that we've evolved an incredibly robust nervous system to adapt to all of these stressors. Stress actually helps us grow and evolve - its' a gift. ...

When life moves through you and expands reality, it can feel uncomfortable (especially if the nervous system feels unsafe). However, the feminine way is to surrender to discomfort, not fight against it. Let it easy by leaning into what feels difficult. When life moves through you, ALLOW Spirit to chisel away at your fixed identity. Embrace the growing pains that are inevitable with evolution. Let the old version of you melt away. Fall into beauty. Bec...
I want to be very clear that aging is not a bad thing - in fact, I think it's an honor! However, there is a way to grow older and accumulate vitality, harmony, and ease in the body instead of inflammation, exhaustion, and pain.
