And I will also say like 52 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: I very much for a while felt that way myself 53 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: because I'm one of those same kind of women, right, 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: And so I was I had been doing this kind 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: of work for myself for a while, just because not 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: from a place of for dating and relationships, but from 57 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: a place of Okay, I want to heal this unworthiness stuff. 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: I want to heal this perfectionism, the people pleasing, all 59 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: of those sorts of things. I knew that I needed 60 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 2: to get more balance in my masculine and feminine polarity 61 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: with myself, and so I was starting to do that work, 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: and a natural byproduct of that was my dating life improved, right, 63 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: And I started saying those things like where all them 64 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: masculine it right, Like I wasn't having those kinds of 65 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: frustrations myself so much, and I'm like, oh, all these 66 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: things that's helping over here. And so while my work 67 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: has tended for a long time was mainly kind of 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: general life coaching for women like this on a lot 69 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: on how to soften, how to be able to be 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: that high achieving woman but feel more anchored and grounded 71 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 2: and like back in her feminine essence, and started coming 72 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: to the service that like a lot of there was 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: a lot of frustration or angster confusion around dating because 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: it's one of those things where this kind of woman 75 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: is used to being hyper independent, being able to figure 76 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: everything out herself and like having the answers and like 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: doing everything really really well. But then with dating, it 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: was like why can't I figure this out though? Right? 79 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: But it was so frustrating for so many women. And 80 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: so that's where I was like, Okay, maybe I should 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: like lean into some dating stuff for this time, and 82 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: not just dating, because relationships as well. I've worked with 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: women who are married and have been in long term 84 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: relationships too, and so yeah, so it was definitely from 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: like a lot from personal experience which has always been 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: where my coaching has come from, because I wanted to 87 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: figure out an issue I was having so a lot 88 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: from personal experience, but then also seeing it so much 89 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: with the women that I was working with, and they're. 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: A specific thing that comes to mind when you think 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: about a high functioning type of woman, Like we're talking 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: about really bumping up against the difficulty of finding a 93 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: quote unquote masculine man, like, is there something that we're 94 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: all just completely missing? Like, what's the first thing that 95 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: comes to mind? 96 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: A few of the key things are that women like 97 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: this they're used to being hyper independent and being self 98 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: sufficient is not a bad thing. You should be self 99 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: sufficient and frankly healthy masculine men, they want a woman 100 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: who is self sufficient, right, who's got her stuff together, 101 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: who can take care of herself, all of that, even 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: if they view themselves as like I'm the protector provider, like, 103 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: let me make your life easy, even if that's their mindset, 104 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: they don't want like a needy like person they have 105 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: to drag along that doesn't have their stuff together, right. 106 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 2: So self sufficience is great, right, that should be on 107 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: your list, But when that crosses into hyper independence, that's 108 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: not the only thing, right, because there's plenty more. But 109 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: that's one of the things that I find is very 110 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: repelling for masculine men. And so again it's not the 111 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: like it's not being helpless, right, because I think women 112 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: can make it very black and white, like, well, if 113 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: he wants a woman who's not as like independent or strong, 114 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: then he can find someone else, right, Like, that's not 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: what we're talking about here. The hyperindependence is like being 116 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: annoyed if someone opens the door for you or goes like, 117 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: let me get your bags, No, I can do it myself. 118 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, of course you can do it yourself. 119 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Of course you can, right. But if you want a 120 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: masculine man, right, one of his qualities is going to 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: be that he wants to provide and take action and 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: make your life easier and things like that. That's like 123 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: on a very basic, like some down level. And so 124 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: if you're so hyper independent that you don't let him 125 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: be in that masculine role except if you absolutely need it, right, 126 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: you're gonna repel that natural energy from him. 127 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: You're talking about me Like at when I would leave 128 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: set back in the day, and I still do this. 129 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: But if a man offers to help me with my kit, 130 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: which is a massive suitcase and it's heavy. I mean, 131 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: it is heavy. I used to really struggle with accepting 132 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: that help because I don't really know why. I don't 133 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: know what that was, if that was in my programming 134 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: to be like, no, I can't rely on a man, 135 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: or if with all the narrative going on out in 136 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: the world, you didn't want to seem helpless or whatever 137 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: it was. I just really struggle with that. And now, 138 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this is getting older too, and physically 139 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: I can't do this thing I used to do. But 140 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: I really try to lean into like when someone offers 141 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: except the help, like you don't have to do this 142 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: all on your own, you know exactly. 143 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's one of the key things that I 144 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: tell women like this a lot of the time and 145 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: just generally is like, Okay, just because you can do 146 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: it yourself, doesn't mean you have to, like do you 147 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: want to do every single thing always yourself? Even if 148 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: you can, like I can do so many things, like 149 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 2: so many things, of course, but I love having a 150 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: man in my life who is like, here, let me 151 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: take care of that for you. Here, let me do 152 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: that for you, because it makes my life feel softer, 153 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: more luxurious, Like it helps me feel more protected and 154 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: taken care of all of that, and then it's one 155 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: less thing that I have to do right. Right, And 156 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: on that topic as well, there's the hyper independence thing 157 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: that I see that a lot of women like this. 158 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: That's a quality, will say, But then it's also the 159 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: overdoing and overgiving that a lot of women like this 160 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 2: fall into. And even though like giving and being generous 161 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 2: that's such like a beautiful thing, even like nurturing, right, 162 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: can be very nurturing, when you overgive, you also shut 163 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: down a man's masculine energy. Because if we think about, okay, 164 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: on the very very basic level, feminine energy is our 165 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: being energy. It's receptive and receiving, right, And energy is 166 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: the doing energy. It's proactive, it's action oriented, right, So 167 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: it's the output energy. Feminine is the input energy. So 168 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: if you're always in the doing energy, you're going to 169 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 2: either attract a man who wants you to do everything 170 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: for him and like then you're kind of in that 171 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: like mommy role, which is not right sexy for anybody, 172 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: and it's exhausting as well, right, But then you're also 173 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: going to so you're gonna repel like a man's natural 174 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: masculine energy. But then you're also going to deplete yourself, right, 175 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: because you're stepping into this doing doing doing doing, And 176 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: that can be so small as like well, let me 177 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: plan a date. Oh I want to go on a 178 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: date this week, and let me let me do it 179 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 2: for us, right, And there's nothing wrong with I think 180 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 2: once you're in like a dating cadence, not in the 181 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: very beginning, ladies, but once you're like have established you're 182 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 2: like in a dating relationship with somebody, there's nothing wrong 183 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: with like you planning something every once in a while 184 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: or taking action. But that's something that women who again 185 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: are like hyper independent, they're go getters, they can do 186 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: a lot, they're super smart and capable all this kind 187 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: of stuff, they jump into doing so so fast to 188 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: their detriment, rather than staying in that receptive, receiving energy 189 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: and allowing the man to step in and take up 190 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: that space through his masculine actions. 191 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: It makes so much sense. Again, you're just telling my 192 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: life story I have. Yeah, I'll have a narrative in 193 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: my friend group, and it's kind of been that men 194 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: are just intimidated by I mean, all of my friends 195 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: are the same as us, right, Like, they're high achieving, 196 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: they're very successful, they're beautiful, they're talented, they're hilarious, so 197 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: they have everything. It's always shocking to me when any 198 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: of my friend they're single, because I'm like, why, you know, 199 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the guys are missing out here? This is the woman 200 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: that needs to eat scoops up. And then on the 201 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: flip side, we just sit and talk about it like 202 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: as if it's all the man's problem and I don't 203 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: really buy in so that anymore. And one of the 204 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: narratives is, well, men are just intimidated by this. Is 205 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: there something deeper going on here with men though, when 206 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: we're presenting with as such high functioning over achievers. 207 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: Yes and no, so both both of those things. So 208 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: on the one hand, yes, there are going to be 209 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: plenty of men who are intimidated right because women tend 210 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: to date across and up right, Like, most women are 211 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: not going to date somebody that they view as like 212 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: below them or like behind them in terms of like 213 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: life achievements, money, that sort of thing. Women we tend 214 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: to date hypergamously, So we're going to date someone who 215 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,359 Speaker 2: either has the same level of like achievement or success 216 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: or financial resources, we're either going to go the same 217 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: level or above right, right, And so that naturally eliminates 218 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: a lot of men from for high achieving like quote 219 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: unquote successful women. Right. And so there may be men 220 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: right who don't really fall into to that pool for 221 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: a woman who may still want to like shoot his 222 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 2: shot or try something, right, who may very well be 223 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: intimidated by that. But so so yes, to answer, yes, 224 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: there are gonna be plenty of men who are intimidated 225 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: by that. But that's usually pretty like I think, like 226 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: a man who's intimidated by you, that's going to be 227 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: pretty easy to weed out, right, He's it's it's going 228 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: to be pretty easy to weed out in like a 229 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: few conversations, if not the first conversation. And those men 230 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: I either aren't going to approach you at all, and 231 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: you don't want to be with a man that is 232 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: intimidated by you, I don't at a And so he's 233 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: either not going to approach you, or it's a man 234 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: with a very fragile ego who is going to trend. Okay, 235 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 2: let me like make myself feel better about myself by 236 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: trying to like get this woman who I view as 237 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 2: ahead of me, but not in like a healthy way, right, 238 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 2: but in like a let me like conquer this thing 239 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: because it's going to make my ego feel good because I, 240 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: you know, got this girl who I view as better 241 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: than me or I'm intimidated by, and then try to 242 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: kind of like bring her down in a way like 243 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: but that's like a toxic dyami. We're so sure, Well 244 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: we'll table that because we're not. We don't aren't dealing 245 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: with those kinds of guys. But I think it can 246 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: more easily be a cop out for women. Well, men 247 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: are just intimidated. The men you want to be with 248 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: aren't intimidated by you, so who cares about the ones 249 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: that are right? 250 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: Right? 251 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: So I think it often ends up being more of 252 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: a cop out, which is like good and bad because 253 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: I know women don't because sometimes when I posted this 254 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: sort of thing about like we get to take more 255 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: accountability for the results in our life, including the dating 256 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: results in our life, right and like all that kind 257 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: of stuff that like women can have that kind of 258 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: attitude of like, well, if he doesn't want all of 259 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: me as I am, he can find less or whatever 260 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: it is, right, which is like yes, and like are 261 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: you perfect No, are you exactly right?

That's a really easy way for 265 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: you to not have to look at yourself and how 266 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: you show up if it's just like men are just 267 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: scared of me. So okay, is that philosophy working for you? Though? 268 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: If all the men are intimidated by you, Like, how 269 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: does that working in your actual life? Like, sure, plenty 270 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: of men may be, but when you're when I believe 271 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: that when you're operating from a place that truly is 272 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: in that elevated energy where like your heart is open 273 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: and you're but at the same time, like access to you, 274 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: access to your energy, your time, whatever is very exclusive 275 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: and very boundaried. When you're operating in that place, those 276 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: men who are intimidated by you, they don't even one 277 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: they're not going to be on your radar and two 278 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: like they don't even attempt to get your attention anymore 279 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: because they know they know, right, So we get to 280 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: forget about those men that are intimidated by you. And 281 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: then and it's also the okay, actually what it is 282 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: more often I've seen, is you. No, you're repelling the 283 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: men that you actually do want, like whose attention you 284 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: do want? Because you're leading with masculine energy, and so 285 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: it's not that they're intimidated, is that you're meeting them 286 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: too much with energy that feels like a man's energy. 287 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: You just answered my next question because you touched on 288 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: this a little bit earlier, and I want to just 289 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: dive a little bit deeper into the importance you have 290 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: the energy you're leading with. He said something when you 291 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: first were describing the woman operating in such a heavy 292 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: masculine and the like doing and all of that. One 293 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: I know for me, I'm completely depleted battery wise when 294 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: I do that all the time. Like if I'm overgiving 295 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: or overfunctioning, I might still be showing up, but the 296 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: energy I'm showing up with is not my highest self 297 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: by any means, And it is not definitely like the receptive, 298 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: open hearted energy. So with a woman that you're working 299 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: with or just talking to you, is saying over and 300 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: over like I just keep you know, attracting unavailable or 301 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: passive or toxic men, is there like an alarm bell 302 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: that starts to go off for you of like, okay, 303 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: well what energy are you leading with? Though, because, as 304 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: you just touched on, if you're leading from your highest 305 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: self and your feminine energy as well, aren't we just 306 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: drawing in risk more like matching energy? Is that making sense? 307 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Where I'm gianna go lab is yes, okay, yes, I'll 308 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: like and over because I think I know and I'm 309 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: going to say yes. 310 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: That does often like send off some things in my brain. 311 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, I'm going to assume, not necessarily assume, 312 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: because I'll always ask questions, but like I'm guessing all 313 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: these things are probably happening, right, And so with that, 314 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: it's like, okay, well let's back up, and I'll usually 315 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: like drill in, okay, like what did you do?

And one of 318 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: the things that I think the biggest thing for women 319 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: who are if you're repeatedly attracting a similar type of person, 320 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: good or bad, right, like, but if it's happening more 321 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: than you know, more than twice, like once it starts 322 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 2: snapping the third time, and it's like, oh, another emotionally 323 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: unavailable guy, another toxic guy another, right, Like it's a 324 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 2: you problem, which is great because that means there's a 325 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 2: you solution, you know, and so like like that's the 326 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: good news. It's like the news you may not want 327 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: to hear is that you're the problem. But the great 328 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: news is that that means you're also the solution and 329 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: you can change that, right. And So with that kind 330 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: of stuff, if you are consistently attracting people who are 331 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: emotionally unavailable, a few things go off in my mind 332 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: is there's likely a worthiness issue going on that you 333 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: don't feel worthy of a healthy, like good relationship. So 334 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: you're attracting like energy and people that are going to 335 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: prove that belief, right, Like, see, I just can never 336 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: meet a good guy, right, and so it's going to 337 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: reinforce that that you have. So often there's a worthiness 338 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: thing going on. There's often also some level of emotional 339 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: unavailability from the woman as well. If she's always attracting 340 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: emotionally unavailable people, that's matching some sort of unavailability of 341 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: hers as well. May not be in the same way, 342 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: but we get to look a little bit closer there, right, 343 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: So there's usually worthiness thing. There's usually some sort of 344 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: emotional block, and then we also get to look at 345 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: like the boundaries, like well I would even back up 346 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: there get really clear. Okay, what kind of relationship do 347 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 2: you want right now? Like whether you know some people 348 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: are like, oh, I just want to kind of date, 349 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: get back out there after a relationship nothing like crazy 350 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 2: serious right now. Okay, that's a certain kind of dating goal. 351 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: Right. 352 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: If you're like I'm dating for marriage and that's it, 353 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: or my forever person and that's it, then whatever the 354 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: situation is, I'm going to go with like dating for 355 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 2: your forever person for marriage. We're going to back up 356 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: and be like, okay, what is that man, like, like 357 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 2: what are his must haves and like requirements like must 358 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 2: have qualities? Right, what are the nice to haves? And 359 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: then what are like automatic deal breakers right like smoking 360 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: for example, right, or it doesn't want kids automatic deal 361 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: break right like those those kinds of things, and what 362 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: are his must have and then also what are your 363 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 2: standards for how you want to be treated? And so 364 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: you getting really really clear on that, so that then 365 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: when you meet a man and he doesn't have one 366 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: of those must haves or he has one of those 367 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: deal breakers or something, you can easily disqualify him and 368 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 2: remove him right right. And so that's such an important 369 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 2: piece because if you're saying, well, I want this, but 370 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 2: then you're entertaining a lot of behavior that isn't aligned 371 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: with that. You're not holding yourself to a high enough 372 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: standard and having firm enough boundaries. And yeah, and like 373 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: too trusting or too like well maybe or or like 374 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 2: not okay being on your own right by yourself. That's 375 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: another thing is like people often want the attention more 376 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 2: than like or would rather settle for someone who's not 377 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: really what they're looking for. Yeah, it doesn't really treat 378 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: them well than being on their off. 379 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you touched on two things that I really 380 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: resonated with just from my own experience. One was like 381 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: a sense of words, and then this second part where 382 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: we're talking about boundaries and I think on a big 383 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: public scale, something that a lot of women related to 384 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: you was when Taylor Slipped and Travis Kelcey were doing 385 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: that interview. I can't remember what podcast it even was. 386 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: I didn't even watch the thing, but there was a 387 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: viral clip going around of Taylor saying like, your energy 388 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: should be expensive, and that's so interesting to think about 389 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: in terms of a high achieving, like overfunctioning woman, because 390 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: when you touch on worth at first, it seems like 391 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: a woman like this would not have any word issues, 392 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: you know, but it it's actually been the opposite in 393 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: my life because I was hatching so much worth to 394 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: what I did, my job title, the public facing version 395 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: of me, what people thought of me, and luckily for me, 396 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: a lot of that crash and then I just left 397 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: with myself, you know. And at the time it's all awful, 398 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: but the best part of it for me was like 399 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 1: I had to really find my like inherent sense of 400 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: worth and just being worthy because I woke up in 401 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: the morning, you know, those kind of things. And what 402 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: was interesting with that is the more comfortable I got 403 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: with that piece with myself, the bigger my boundaries got. 404 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: Like the less I tolerated the bullshit, the less I 405 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: fat around and waited for a lot of time to 406 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: be like, look, we'll give him one more shot, or oh, 407 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, like justify the not calling for 408 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: four days because he was so busy and he had 409 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: a lot on his plate, Like fuck that, no, Like 410 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: that's just that I don't do anymore. 411 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 2: Yes, and same like I relate to that so much. 412 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 2: And yes, because with women like that, high achieving, go 413 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 2: get her women who like have it all together, oh 414 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 2: my gosh, right, like that sort of thing, and who 415 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: are generally or maybe not, I'll speak for myself, like, 416 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 2: but most of these women are confident, right, and me 417 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 2: very extroverted and I'm always I've always been very extroverted 418 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: and very comfortable, like in front of on a stage 419 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 2: or things like that. Right, And so you look at 420 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: that person, you go, wait a second. They struggle with 421 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: self worth. But it's like when a woman has that 422 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: pattern of overachieving and like do do do do do, 423 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: her worth is tied to what she's doing. Right. So 424 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: I remember, like years and years ago before I started 425 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: digging into almost ten years at this point, before I 426 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: started like really digging into the worthiness stuff for myself, 427 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: one of my coaches and friends was she She was 428 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 2: like big sisterly kind of friendship to me. She asked 429 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: me something. She was like, Okay, Lauren, what if tomorrow 430 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: I told you you can't work at all, you have 431 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: to just sit on the couch and watch Netflix all 432 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: day long? How would you feel? And I was like, ugh, worthless? 433 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: And she's like ah, interesting, and I was like, oh shoot, 434 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: you know, And so this kind of woman ties so 435 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: much of her value to what she's doing, how she's performing, 436 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: what she's achieving all of that that it then makes 437 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: it very easy to get a lot of value out 438 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: of well, what sort of attention am I getting too? 439 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: Right? 440 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: Does that person like me? Do they want to date me? 441 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: Do they want to be my friend? Whatever? It is 442 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: like getting so much validation from things outside of yourself, 443 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: And so similarly to you, I went through that, like, 444 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: you know, when I really like dug into all of 445 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: this stuff, I'm like, wait, I get to like really 446 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: like my head shouldn't blow up when things are amazing, right, 447 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: and I shouldn't think I'm hot shit just because they 448 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: are going really well, and just like I shouldn't think 449 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 2: I'm a piece of shit if things aren't going well, right, Like, 450 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: that sense of worth should be steady and anchored no 451 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: matter what's going on up and down, because then you'll 452 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: be less likely to need to find it outside of 453 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: your self. So yeah, it's something like, yeah, these women 454 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: are like confident a lot of the time, but the 455 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 2: worthiness is is attached to things outside of themselves, and 456 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: so it then makes it easy for women like this 457 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: to get into those relationships with unavailable men or narcissistic 458 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 2: men or toxic men or something where they're doing a 459 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: lot because it's like, well, I need to prove like 460 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: I'm used to proving my value in all the other ways, 461 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: so let me prove like I'm good at proving my value. Yeah, 462 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna prove it with you too. Oh yeah, that's 463 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: that's what ends up happening a lot of the time. 464 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And it's a recipe for being in a 465 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: relationship with a narcissistic type, like full blown. That was 466 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: my pattern over and over and over, and it was like, 467 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: let me prove to you how great I am, how 468 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: much I can do, how much I love you. And 469 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: then I've realized I'm not getting anything here, like yeah, 470 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: the battery I completed, Yes, as you hit a bottom, 471 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: and that's sometimes the greatest gift we can get. So yeah, 472 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: this that's the question that comes up for me a 473 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: lot in these discussions, and I never know how to 474 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: answer it. So I'm hoping that you have some better ideas. 475 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: But masculine and feminine energy as a conversation is it's 476 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: been really important in my life and growth and relationship. 477 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: But I do find when I'm talking about it with 478 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: certain people it's hard to explain how not to go 479 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: into like outdated gender roles with this kind of thing. 480 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying, Like, Okay, if you're 481 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: masculine and feminine energy, if you're really trying to lean 482 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: into your feminine people associate that with Okay, now go 483 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: do the dishes, cook all the meals and all of 484 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And that's not ever what I'm 485 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: trying to say with it. The best I can do 486 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: when I explain it is like, no, we have both 487 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: energies within ourselves. It's about what you're leaning into and 488 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: can you receive and all of those things. What is 489 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: your thought on that question and how would you explain 490 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: that for the listener? 491 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think there's a lot like the masculine 492 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: feminine energy and like coach and like podcasters and that 493 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: kind of stuff like that, and like, you know, I 494 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: fall into that category, but like it's become very like 495 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: it became very popular over the last few years, so 496 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: there's lots of people who who do have it as 497 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: just like a very black and white like masculine energy 498 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: is just like the traditional manly things and feminine is 499 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: traditional feminine things are stereotypical, right, which isn't exactly true. 500 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: There's some truth in those sorts of things, but not 501 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 2: completely right because there's because like we can break it 502 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: down to like mothering energy, where you are taking care 503 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: of everybody, doing all this stuff, like all that that's 504 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 2: masculine energy. Yes, it's like we think of it as 505 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 2: like a thing a woman's doing. But the doing all 506 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: the things and taking care of all the things, that's 507 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 2: that's anchored in masculine energy from an energetic standpoint, you know. 508 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: But it's just typically a woman's role that we think about. 509 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: So there's I think a lot of like and I 510 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: don't like take in too much like the red pill 511 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: antosphere content and stuff like that, but there's like some 512 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: messaging that's like, yeah, they should you know, women should 513 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: just be like how they were in the fifties and 514 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: stuff like that, or they like stay at home off 515 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 2: all that. I'm like those women like, Okay, no, you 516 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: don't actually think that for one, And like are you 517 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: actually wanting like mothering energy, right? Is that what you're 518 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: looking for? Because that's not necessarily super feminine energy either. Right, 519 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: So the way that I explain it is very similar 520 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: to how you said it. I say it, Okay, men 521 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: and women, we all have masculine and feminine energy within us. 522 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: Women generally are going to be most at home and 523 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: operating from their feminine energy the majority of the time, 524 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 2: while men generally are going to be mostly in their 525 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: masculine energy. But I do say, but, like each person's 526 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: masculine feminine energy breakdown is unique to them, and it's 527 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: not something that's like static, like oh I am eighty 528 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: percent feminine energy twenty percent masculine. No, Like depending on 529 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 2: the day, the time day, depending on what I'm season 530 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: I'm in in my life, depending on like what week 531 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: we're at in the month, like all of that, like 532 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: what activity I'm doing, like that is going to influence 533 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: my like which energy I'm leading with or tapping into 534 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 2: more and and the goal I think is to figure 535 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: out the balance that feels best to you. Like I 536 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 2: used to be dominantly in my masculine energy and then 537 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 2: would like be in my feminine energy once I was 538 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 2: exhausted and depleted or my wounded feminine energy. Oh now 539 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 2: I'm like I'm so burnt out and I'm crying and 540 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: having a meltdown. Somebody rescue me and save me, right, 541 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: Like it was like hardcore masculine, and then I'm like 542 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: a little like the damsel in distress, like in my 543 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: wounded feminine right, like right right, and and so now 544 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I probably like eighty to eighty, like 545 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: eighty percent, I would say in my feminine energy. My 546 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: work has been a little bit busier the last six 547 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 2: months or so, so it's it's required me to lean 548 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: a little bit more into my masculine But there are 549 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: certain days where I'm like, Okay, today is more like 550 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: masculine energy focused. I'm going to be like doing more 551 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 2: delegating and doing more like taking care of crossing things 552 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: off the to do list and like all that kind 553 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: of stuff. And then for me, I might have a 554 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: more feminine energy day where I'm like, ooh, this day 555 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: I get to like go deeper and be more creative 556 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: on projects. So like, it honestly depends on what is 557 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: going on, and the goal is to be able to 558 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: ebb and flow within the energies in a way that 559 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: supports you best for feeling your best, for accomplishing the 560 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 2: things that you want to accomplish for what works best 561 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: for your relationships. 562 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: All of that, I mean, the biggest takeaway for me 563 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: to tell people now will be that doing the mothering 564 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: or like the path around the house, that's actually masculine energy. 565 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: I never thought about that, like doing the dishes, and 566 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: it's doing, it's doing the things. It's not creating, it's 567 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: not nurturing. Yeah, that's so interesting. So when you just 568 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: said about yourself that you've been in a really busy space, 569 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: So is there a way to be wildly ambitious and 570 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: also be deeply feminine in your energy? 571 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: I think so yes, But it does take work, and 572 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: you get to be very disciplined and very boundaried, right, 573 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: and so the like the masculine discipline and masculine boundaries 574 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: are what will protect you and be able to keep 575 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: that feminine energy like flowing and really like alive. So 576 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: you can have like very some very focused like I'm 577 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 2: such a time blocker on my calendar, right, and so 578 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: for me to be and and I all sometimes have 579 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: times when I'm like, whoa, this this week was like 580 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: so much busier than I wanted it to be, and 581 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 2: it felt so much more in my masculine energy than 582 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: I would have wanted. So this weekend I need to 583 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: just like be really poured into or really like of 584 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: like do something creative or whatever it is, right, or 585 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: be like babied a little bit more from my eye 586 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 2: so that I can feel more of that like being 587 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: poured back into rather than just the output energy. But 588 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: what really helps with that and in being ambitious and 589 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: like achieving big goals and stuff like that is to 590 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: be so like disciplined with your time and your energy. 591 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: And so for me, like I love time blocking. So 592 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: if it's like okay, like I've got these chunks on 593 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 2: my calendar and I'm going to be like really strict 594 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: about how i use that time so that I'm not 595 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: just like it's not bleeding into everything else. And so 596 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: it's like such clarity and focus in the times that 597 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: are designated for that, So then the rest of the 598 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: time you have can be open and like more time 599 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: to like be in your kind of flow and feminine energy. 600 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 2: That's also not to say that anytime you're doing work 601 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 2: you're in masculine energy nor right now, like right now 602 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: when I do podcast interviews, it's a very feminine energy 603 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: thing for me, Like I'm this feels creative for me, 604 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: I am tapped into my purpose. But it's also connecting 605 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 2: right like and could take collaborative and stuff. So it's 606 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: a very feminine energy activity for me, right and so 607 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: it balances out when I'm doing a lot of the 608 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: like maybe delegating or like in slack or email and stuff. 609 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: It helps to balance that those other kinds of like 610 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: masculine tasks out. So it's really just like I think 611 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: the biggest thing for like being able to be be 612 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: and stay really in your feminine energy while being ambitious 613 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: is like clarity and then boundaries and being really strict 614 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: with your time and energy. 615 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I'm going to give the listeners a forewarning 616 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: here because we are going to talk about Love is Blind, 617 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: because I have to people know on this podcast that 618 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: I am addicted to this show and I hate myself 619 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: for watching it, but I can't stirtle. 620 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: It's one of the same.

That's just how my brain would work for 749 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: so long. And so I do think we're very susceptible 750 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: to falling in those traps until you really get your 751 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: worthiness figured out within yourself to where you trust your 752 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: own intuition. Like there's not a doubt in my mind. 753 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: My intuition never leads me wrong. Yes, so, and I 754 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: feel it. I don't even have to explain it to 755 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: myself anymore. I don't figure out the why. I just 756 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: I just go with it and it makes sense later. 757 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 2: Usually, Yes, we're so similar in that, because that's another 758 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 2: thing too. This kind of woman is very much living 759 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: in her head, right, Yeah, overthinking, overanalyzing, trust like very sharp, 760 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 2: smart brain, right, So like a good good, good brain, 761 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 2: super sight, you're smart, right, but overthinks and spends too 762 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 2: much time up in her head and not enough time 763 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 2: connected into her body and has likely lost that kind 764 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,840 Speaker 2: of connection to her body and that connection to her intuition. 765 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 2: So where what literally what you just said of like, well, 766 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 2: I'm hearing all the right things, and his actions look 767 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,479 Speaker 2: like they're in ligned with that. They look right, there's 768 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 2: some sort of like unease in my body or like 769 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: this dissonance in my body and my nervous system's not settled. 770 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 2: But I'm seeing and hearing what I think I'm supposed 771 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 2: to be seeing and hearing. So I think we have 772 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,479 Speaker 2: to go with right. And so it's like that sort 773 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 2: of thing causes a lot of women to bypass their 774 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 2: intuition because they just are so disconnected from it and 775 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: have lost They've lost that relationship with their body and 776 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: their intuition and their nervous system to where they're like, oh, 777 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 2: my head in my ears think it's all right, so 778 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: I'll override what my body's telling me, which like, yeah, 779 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: same thing for me, Like I had to learn that 780 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 2: lesson the hard way to where now I'm like, if 781 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 2: my intuition tells me something's off, I don't have to 782 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 2: go investigate it, or like I don't have to see 783 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: the proof of it. We just know. 784 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: No, it's just it's been for me dog on that moment. Yeah, 785 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: all right. For women listening who might be resonating they 786 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: feel exhausted or discouraged in dating, I have so many 787 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: people just specifically right now it feels like dating feels hard, 788 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, just like the apps and all the things, 789 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: or they're just feeling confused. Like what would you first 790 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: want them to understand? 791 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: I would say, I mean back to what I kind 792 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 2: of already said, is that if things are feeling hard 793 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 2: and frustrating, or you feel like you know there's no 794 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 2: good guys out there all of that, that you have 795 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 2: so much more power over that than you realize. Right, Like, 796 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 2: there's so many things that you can do, and it's 797 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 2: not about like up leveling to get a man or 798 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: doing all this stuff for a man or so that 799 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: I can go on dates and stuff like that. It's 800 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 2: not that, it's that you stepping into your next level 801 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 2: self and continuing to improve yourself like that kind of stuff, 802 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 2: Like like you have so much more more power and 803 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: control over the people that come into your life, dating 804 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 2: and relationship included, than you realize, So that I think, 805 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: hopefully is a very hopeful thing. Yes, it does require work, 806 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 2: but it's not dependent on other people, right, It's very 807 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 2: dependent on you. And then what I would say is like, 808 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 2: and I truly truly believe this because it's what happened 809 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 2: for me and my relationship, which is the healthiest, like 810 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 2: most amazing relationship I've been in up until this point. 811 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 2: And I when you stop being so fixated on that 812 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 2: stuff and you are more focused on like, Okay, what 813 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 2: makes me become like my ideal version of me? 814 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: Right? 815 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you can have an idea of like who 816 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 2: is that dream guy that you want to be with 817 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,879 Speaker 2: your future husband or whoever it is.
