Hello gorgeous soul,
So many of you have been asking me to speak more about this topic (and you know I aim to please)... So here we are!
Many of the women that I've worked with or had the chance to study who are thriving in their personal and professional lives are grounded in their "dark feminine" energy. This allows them to be fully, sensually, femininely expressed.
When you consider the Law of Polarity and accept that any time there is light, there must also be dark, we can now use the knowledge that you're about to dive into here for Self-Empowerment purposes in order to feel more confident, more aligned and more liberated as the woman you were born to be.
"Like the ocean, she was unapologetic about her depth. Her essence overflows as she is always abundantly watered. And wet." -Fasana
Let's dive into the truth and set ourselves free...
The concept of "dark feminine energy" is often rooted in spiritual, psychological, and mythological frameworks.
It's important to approach this term with sensitivity and an understanding that "dark" in this context doesn't inherently imply something negative or sinister. Instead, it often refers to aspects of femininity that are associated with depth, mystery, and transformation. Here are some key aspects:
1. Depth and Mystery: The "dark feminine" is often linked to the depths of the unconscious mind and the mysteries of existence. It represents aspects of femininity that are not immediately visible or understood, encouraging exploration and self-discovery.
2. Creativity and Transformation: This energy is often associated with the creative and transformative forces in life. Like the fertile darkness from which new life emerges, the dark feminine embodies the potential for growth, change, and renewal.
3. Intuition and Inner Wisdom: The dark feminine is often seen as a source of intuition and inner wisdom. It encourages women to tap into their intuitive abilities and trust the deeper insights that arise from within.
4. Embracing the Shadow Self: The term "dark" also refers to embracing the shadow self—the aspects of oneself that are often hidden or denied. This involves acknowledging and integrating the less conscious, potentially challenging aspects of one's personality.
5. Empowerment through Challenge: The dark feminine is associated with facing challenges and adversity with resilience. It encourages women to find strength and empowerment not just in the light and easy times but also in navigating and overcoming difficulties.
6. Cycles of Life and Death: Similar to the cycles of nature, the dark feminine acknowledges the inevitability of death and decay as integral parts of the life cycle. This perspective can bring a sense of acceptance and peace in the face of life's impermanence.
You always hear me reminding you that you are whole and complete in this very moment. Despite how you may be feeling.
Although, it is our feelings that can sometimes lead us to thinking that we’re not good enough or feel like we’re imposters as we pave this new wave of feminine living for our future generations.
Here are 5 reasons why I highly recommend that we prioritize our Personal Energetics and Alignment:
1. Embracing Complexity
Recognizing and integrating the dark feminine energy can lead to a more holistic understanding of oneself. It encourages us to embrace the complexity of our emotions, experiences, and identities. Our bodies all store ancient wisdom. The codes that the world is searching for is actually within our DNA. Insert the song, Bigger, by Beyonce on The Lion King album.
2. Balancing Yin and Yang Energies
The dark feminine, when balanced with the light (or more yang/masculine energy), contributes to a sense of equilibrium. This balance allows for a more integrated and harmonious experience of femininity. While past societal norms deemed us to find fault in feminine energy, women like you and I are here to be the example of exactly what the world’s been missing.
3. Facilitating Personal Growth
Engaging with the dark feminine is often seen as a pathway to personal growth and self-realization. It involves a journey of self-discovery, facing challenges, and evolving into a more authentic and empowered version of oneself. Ever since I’ve reclaimed my dark feminine essence, I’ve noticed a significant increase in my level of confidence as well as the belief that I have within myself.
4. Enhancing Intuition and Inner Knowing
By connecting with the dark feminine, we enhance our intuition and deepen our connection to inner guidance. This can contribute to a sense of alignment with our true purpose and values. It is a common spiritual concept to acknowledge that we have the answers which we seek within us. What’s important is that we can tap into those answers in order to make more aligned decisions that will allow for us to live in higher levels of alignment.
5. Honouring All Phases of Life
The dark feminine embraces the full spectrum of experiences, including those that may be considered challenging or uncomfortable. This acceptance can lead to a feeling of being more aligned with the natural flow of life. Learning to live in flow invites in more “soft life” experiences and enjoy our journeys overall. Imagine that! A life with little to no stress, problems or worry. You do realize that if our minds can conceive that vision, that we can so achieve that vision, right?!
It's crucial to approach these concepts with an open mind and consider individual interpretations and cultural contexts. Practices associated with the dark feminine might include meditation, shadow work and rituals that honour cycles of nature and personal growth.
Each person's journey with these concepts is unique, and what feels wholesome and aligned can vary widely among individuals. Learn how to fully trust yourself and lead from that space — it’s one of the greatest gifts you could offer the world.

What does it mean to embody your Higher Self?
Well before I answer that for you, it’s important to understand who your Higher Self is in order to create consistent levels of self motivation that will keep you on an upward spiral of growth!
Your Higher Self is the version of you who operates from a place of alignment and organically manifests abundance in your relationships, career, health and well-being!
It’s the ultimate, best version of yourself.
We all desire to be our best selves, don't we? But how many of us really understand how to achieve and sustain that goal?
Personally, it took me about a decade to really understand the process of doing this but that’s because I didn’t have a me the way that you do right now!
What I’ve come to realize is that the “best version” of myself is the version of me who understands how to flow, adapt and maintain a regulated nervous system (meaning less anxiety, overthinking and burnout) as I navigate my way through the season that I’m in. Both trusting that it will all always work out in my favour as well as fully trusting myself to make the best decisions that support my unique path in life.
From a psychological perspective, being the best version of myself is when my conscious and subconscious minds are in rapport. It’s when they’re aligned so that I can consciously surrender to whatever my Higher Self requires me to do to get my desired outcomes, results and experiences that will all contribute to the bigger picture for my life’s purpose.
For example, I was inspired and divinely instructed to write this for you while on a nature walk as I’ve learned to discipline myself to begin each day by getting in at least 5,000 steps.
About 20 minutes into the walk, I noticed that I was still listening to my subliminal music instead of cranking Beyoncé's album or any other songs that typically give me higher energy levels.
So why didn’t I change it and infuse my mind with Queen Bey?
I’ll write another blog about why we should all be playing subliminals throughout our day. But here’s why I left it on:
A) I understand the importance of exposing my subconscious mind to the RIGHT INFORMATION for me based on my goals and vision
B) I have enough experience at this point to know what it feels like when my Higher Self hijacks my body and behaviour
C) I understand the power of surrendering my ego to always honour my Higher Self so that God can work through me and use me as His vessel...
As an emotional entrepreneur, it's smart to develop a level of intimacy with your mind. So you know how to keep yourself in the state of feeling good while doing the necessary tasks to reprogram your negative subconscious patterns into abundant ones.
The cool thing about subliminal tracks is that the affirmations are so quietly embedded into the music which allows me to benefit from having my headphones plugged in as well as write this for us from a conscious place.
I recommend thinking of your conscious mind (masculine mind) and subconscious mind (feminine mind) as doing a constant dance with one another. Where one part is always supporting the other where you work in perfect harmony and unison until the dance is complete.
My current mastermind group includes women who are learning my 5 Divine Feminine Steps of High Ticket Coaching so the using this metaphor, the dance will be over once they learn and apply these steps in consistently enrolling soul mate clients into their businesses!
Learning anything new requires you to develop new skill sets. You can literally learn anything you put your mind to. So commit to learning how to use it the right way that will always give you your desired results!

There's no surprise that so many Women CEOs are experiencing such high levels of burn out and anxiety with so many of us being out of touch with our Divine Feminine energy. If you're feeling additional symptoms like mental fatigue, confusion on what the next best step is for you, feeling like you don't know where you fit into this world or depression, this share is for you.
Its time to ask yourself what the root causes are of burn out due to being disconnected from your feminine energy.
While your individual experiences are unique, here are 5 root causes that contribute to the unprecedented levels of burnout and feeling disconnected from your feminine energy:
1. Societal Expectations and Gender Roles: Outdated societal expectations and pressures to excel in multiple roles simultaneously, such as being an entrepreneur, a caregiver, a partner, and a homemaker can cause mental imbalance especially today with so many women desiring to live a more "soft life." Striving to meet these expectations can lead to overwhelming responsibilities and cause you to neglect self-care and personal needs.
2. Cultural Conditioning and Patriarchal Systems: Cultural conditioning and patriarchal systems typically perpetuates the belief that femininity is weak or less valuable than masculine traits. Think about it. Have you been devaluing your feminine qualities, such as intuition, emotional intelligence, and nurturing nature, in favour of conforming to masculine norms in the workplace and society?
3. High Performance Culture and Work Demands: Modern society often places a strong emphasis on productivity, achievement, and high performance creating pressure to work long hours, take on excessive responsibilities, and strive for perfection, sacrificing self-care and neglecting personal well-being in the process. This constant drive for achievement can result in the disconnection from your feminine essence. After all, we are called human beings, not human doings.
4. Lack of Boundaries and Self-Care: When you struggle with setting boundaries, saying no, and prioritizing your own needs due to societal expectations, it's usually because of the fear of being seen as selfish. This can lead to a continuous cycle of overextending yourself and neglecting self-care practices that nourish your feminine energy.
5. Disconnect from Nature and Intuition: There is solace, inspiration, and reconnection with our feminine energy found through nature and intuitive practices. This creates disconnection from the body's natural rhythms and intuitive guidance which contributes to feeling out of alignment and burnout.
Embracing and honouring your feminine energy is a vital aspect of personal and collective growth and is essential in preventing burnout and cultivating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Keep in mind that if you've only ever identified with your masculine energy, normalizing these changes can be difficult. Your subconscious programming (which runs 90% of your thoughts, experiences and overall life) is where these paradigm shifts need to be made. This is the reason why you've likely tried doing this on your own without much long term success.
