Hustle to Embodiment - Episode 10

For centuries, women have been told their place was in the home. But let’s be real the energy of the home wasn’t soft, flowing, feminine energy. It was masculine overdrive: structure, schedules, protection, and constant doing.

And honestly? That’s been the story of our society, too.

We’ve lived through the Victorian Age (1837–1901), where women were silenced, sexuality was repressed, and morality and restraint were everything.

We moved into the Industrial Age (1760s–1940s), nearly 180 years of factories, machines, mass production. Hustle. Grind. Worth = how much you produce.

Then came the Information Age (1970s to now). Computers, the internet, 24/7 connection. Work smarter instead of harder, sure but still always on, always producing, still another form of burnout.

And now? We are moving into what I call the Age of Consciousness.

This is the shift we are feeling in our bones: away from relentless doing and into deeper being. Away from distrust and competition, into balance and embodiment.

Masculine Energy: Wounded vs. Healthy

Masculine energy isn’t the enemy. We need it. It’s structure, direction, presence, protection.

But when it’s wounded, it looks like:

Domination and control
Overwork, hustle, burnout
Suppressing emotions
Aggression, disconnection, hyper-competitiveness

When it’s healthy, it’s:

Stability and clarity
Leadership rooted in service
Action that’s purposeful and aligned
A safe container for the feminine to flow

Feminine Energy: Wounded vs. Healthy

The feminine, too, has her shadow side.

Wounded feminine shows up as:

Gossip, jealousy, manipulation
Comparison and competition
Drama and chaos
Self-abandonment and over-giving

But in her healthy form, the feminine is pure medicine:

Intuition and inner knowing
Creativity, play, and expression
Sensuality and unapologetic pleasure
Compassion, nurturing, and deep presence
Collaboration, lifting others while rising together

My Three Stories

In Episode 10 of Embodied Living, I share three stories that illustrate these energies:

✨ Rest Is Bad → How I learned that slowing down meant failure, and how masculine overdrive shaped my life.

✨ Girl Scouts at 11 → The bullying that planted seeds of distrust in women and showed me the toxic side of feminine energy.

✨ The Women’s Retreat → Where I finally experienced the healthy feminine in action: compassion, collaboration, and sisterhood.

Each of these stories is a reminder that wounded energy is not who we truly are. It’s conditioning. It’s survival mode. And we don’t live in that world anymore.

The Collective Shift: The Age of Consciousness

We are entering a new age, one where the masculine and feminine no longer compete, but dance together.

The masculine provides structure and safety. The feminine brings creativity and flow. Together, they create wholeness.

This is what embodied sexuality is about. It’s not just intimacy in the bedroom, it’s about the way we live, love, create, and show up in the world. We are letting go of the need to constantly produce, prove, and overdo. We are remembering the power of being as much as doing.

We are stepping into the Age of Consciousness. And that’s how we rise.
