It’s time to let go of striving, for true success as a woman.

As a society, we’re obsessed with productivity. We’ve become so conditioned to be striving all the time, that it feels like the normal setting for us as humans. 

I used to struggle with this all of the time, too. Having spent my life half in the East and half in the West, I’ve been influenced by both cultures, and I struggled to find my place in the world.

As a woman, I had been conditioned from a young age to be aware of my feelings. 

However, I was not taught how to process or navigate my feelings. So I learned that it was not safe to feel emotions, disconnection was easier and safer. 

Then, when I entered the university and corporate world years later, it was all about striving and completely ignoring my inner compass. Whether I worked at KPMG in the USA, at KPMG in Melbourne, or at Westpac in Melbourne, striving in my energy meant I could never deeply rest. In between, I co-founded a company and striving remained my default setting.

I now see this condition of striving in my female clients before they start working with me. These women are high-achieving executives and leaders in the corporate and medical fields and are brilliant at what they do. They are intelligent and are born leaders no matter what stage of their career they’re at. 

Yet to get to this point of success, they’ve had to deny their feminine essence.

Another issue they face is that they don’t believe they can be a feminine woman. This is mainly due to how feminine women are portrayed in the media. A familiar image is of someone who is slim, wears perfect outfits and has flawless youthful looks. Or there’s another common portrayal, showing that a feminine woman must be flowy, wild or sexual, created by the billion-dollar industry of new age spirituality.

Most women in high-pressure environments don’t fit either image, and they shame themselves internally. They’re not aware that their feminine essence has nothing to do with how they look, and they’re disconnected due to the conditioning of the current paradigm we live in.

Due to this, most of my clients start working with me with a distaste for their preconceptions of what a feminine woman is. I know, because I used to feel the same 10 years ago.

It took me 10 years of experimenting with different teachings, questioning many norms, stumbling along the way, and constantly seeking to find a new radical, feminine approach. This has enabled me to be in the corporate world, have goals, and not lose my ambition while still being deeply connected to my feminine nature.

This is what I have been able to bring to other women in medical and corporate communities in the last two years and their transformations have been drastic.

This is what Embodied Leadership does for women. It means they no longer deny their feminine nature while being in a masculine world. They can use their feminine essences as their power while leading and getting things done.

A woman who is connected with her feminine essence feels rested and sexy as a woman no matter what shape or size she is in. She allows herself to go after her ambitions of being super successful as a corporate leader or doctor while not ignoring her needs as a woman and the gifts that come from her emotions.
