Femininity has nothing to do with aesthetics or performing to get a man
Can I be frank with you?
I'm getting tired of seeing feminine energy coaches talk about “how to be feminine to get a man”
While I understand I may sound like a hypocrite (because I have a husband & mention how being feminine has helped our marriage)
But I do not condone centering men in your life
Meaning, doing your skincare, makeup, the way you dress, the way you talk for a man
Let me take this deeper
I'm feminine & masculine
I embody both energies
In fact some days I'm quite masculine with my husband
My husband loves that I'm ambitious, focused, disciplined & can defend myself
It never turns him off
What a lot of people are missing is that feminine energy is more than just looking good, performing or being rooted in the male's perspective
It's about healing your wounds, unlearning the programs that say you have to be a perfect good girl to get far in life
And taking back your power to authentically align with who God designed you to be
That's feminine energy
When you can wake up, not caring about what happened yesterday or 10 years ago
And embody that powerful version of you
That's feminine
Because with that version comes the love, money, success, happiness, health, faith, fulfillment & peace… husband, kids (if that's what you want)
The result of being in your feminine, is aligning with what you want
When I healed wounds in 8 areas of my life, I no longer felt unworthy for being a divorced single mother
I was focused on being that woman who had it all…
When I had that itch to get married (you know that desperate feeling to just be with anyone), I satisfied it by constantly being in the state of happily married before I actually got married
And when I met my husband, I wasn't coming from this performative energy trying to be “wife-able”
I already felt like a wife, with standards & high self esteem
In fact when my husband asked about marriage, I straight up declined & said “I want to enjoy being single”
And that turned on his masculine energy to prove to me that he was worthy of my peace (I didn't realize I was doing this at the time, I was genuinely so in love with life he had to match that energy)
My response was highly feminine. It was me being me
Honest. Blunt. Authentic. No fluff. Zero performing
Because in that moment I felt good about myself
I'm at my most feminine when I feel comfortable being myself
Some days that looks like in my PJs with a bonnet on. I still feel good
Or laying in bed resting, doing nothing. I don't feel guilty or unproductive
Or writing potent content like this, because I know you need to hear it
Or cuddled up to my husband asking if he loves me, for the hundredth time
Feminine energy isn't about materialism, further perpetuating capitalism or male dominance
It's about being yourself so you rest, receive & create to access your higher self
You'll never access your true feminine energy, trying to perform for a man or be like another woman
Because you need to conserve your energy so you can inspire others around you
That's feminine energy
Before marrying my husband I was making money, had my own place, my kids in private school, had my own whip
I was creating & inspiring others
But, after doing the healing work getting married felt good for me
If I never got married, I would still feel good about me
What I want you to take away from this post, is that regardless of your status in life - single, married, divorced, widowed, single mama, engaged
Your femininity does not lie with a man or a certain look
It lies within you
It's your responsibility to unearth your power by healing your traumas & unlearning every single program that taught you, that your value is how you can keep a man, attract or man or look like a Barbie Doll
Gurl you ain't no grown man’s mother
You're not here to seduce a man to fall in love with you
You're here to figure out, just how far you can go within to unearth your power
And with that comes all the good stuff that you're praying for
P.s all these women you're seeing looking perfect, just know it comes with a lot of stress & never fully being yourself
I've been around women who can't mess up their makeup, make sure their hair is on point
They are constantly stressed
That isn't to say look like you live in a trash can
Making an effort about your appearance because it makes you feel good
And doing it because you have to..are two totally different things.
