164 - How To Stay Soft & Feminine When Life Feels Hard

When we move through hard seasons of life that feel stressful and challenging, our bodies can tend to harden, brace and contract under the weight of it all.

We disconnect from our feminine energy and step into our masculine energy as a way to cope, which leaves us stuck in our head, abandoning our needs and controlling everything to feel safe.

It is possible to navigate hard times while still feeling soft, feminine, regulated, and nourished.

This episode shares 6 powerful principles that you can begin to apply right away to begin to soften inside yourself, no matter how hard life feels.

In this episode, I cover:
