For a long time, I tried to embody a “healthy masculine” through productivity, confidence, structure, and constant action. 🏃♀️
🧠 I thought this was strength.
🧠 I thought this was balance.
But for me, it was misguided. ❌
Yes — I carry yang energy.☯️
But it doesn’t live in me the same way it does in men.
Of course it doesn’t. I’m a woman. 🧍♀️
In trying to heal my masculine this way, I strangled my feminine. 🪢
My body responded
— with deathly painful bleeds,
AND complete disconnection from my softness, my intuition, and my natural capacity to nurture.
What I’ve come to understand is that healed masculine energy doesn’t dominate or override the body. ❌
It listens.✨✨✨
In its healthy expression, it looks like:
❤️ authentic leadership — not aggressive dominance.
💜 discernment and emotional intelligence — not emotional repression.
💚 ownership of responsibility — not control that quietly undermines growth.
For me, true balance came from starting in my yin.
From listening first.
From nurturing, creating, flowing.
And only then allowing structure to emerge around what I choose.
👉Structure that holds me, guides me, protects me.
❌Not one that demands I override myself to belong or succeed.
We are not machines to be optimised.
We are intricate, living landscapes that require relationship and care.
And you can’t know what your body needs
unless you’re willing to spend time in it.
What you’re trying to control might be what’s asking to be held.🤲
