The Dance of Feminine and Masculine: What You’ve Been Feeling But Couldn’t Quite Name

Women have adopted a lot of masculine energy. We’ve been gunning for it in the quest for equality, and for recognition.

And while this has served us in many ways, it's also pulled us away from our feminine essence—the part of us that makes us feel most alive.

• Masculine energy is the witness. It is is presence, grounded-ness, and consciousness. It is stillness.

• Feminine energy is the expression. is connectedness, love, desire, and chaos. It is movement.

We all hold both, and just like the seasons, we shift between them depending on what life asks of us.

But here’s the thing—feminine energy is naturally expansive. She is the part of us that longs for MORE.

MORE love, MORE depth, MORE connection.

And yet, so many women struggle to receive it. We deflect. We over-give. We shut down.

Not because we’re broken.

But because your body hasn’t learned how to hold what your desire.

When Your Body Resists the Exact Thing You Want

When you desire more, your nervous system has to have space to receive it AND allow it to stay.

If it doesn’t? It will reject it for you (think: collapse, burn-out, shutting down or overwhelm)

You might crave love, intimacy, or success—but if your body isn’t open to it, it simply won’t land.

This is why we don’t do this work alone.

Practicing expression with other women retrains the body to hold more in relationship. When we share, move, and feel in a safe space, our nervous system expands.

Our nervous system is shaped in relationships as children.

It re-shapes in relationships as adults.

If we want to feel safer, more open, and more available to life—we need to practice in relationships.

Masculine, Feminine… and the Merging That Brings It All Together

We each have a blueprint, but through life experiences, and survival strategies, we get wonky.

• If you struggle to make decisions, feel anxious, or constantly crave external validation, you may be overly identified with your feminine.

• If you feel shut down, disconnected from emotions, or like you have to do everything alone, you may be stuck in your masculine.

When we strengthen our own masculine capacity, our feminine feels permission to be in her full expression. And when we let our feminine breathe, our masculine finds its purpose.

THAT'S when we can fully receive love, intimacy, and success.

This isn’t just something that happens—it’s a skill. A practice.

A way of being that can be cultivated.

If This Spoke To You, You’re In The Right Place

If you’re nodding along, feeling seen, feeling relieved that nothing is ‘wrong’ with you for wanting more—you’re my people.

This is the work we do inside the School for Sensitive Women.

We deepen. We expand. We practice opening to more.

And we do it in a way that actually feels good.
