Things feel hard for many of us right now. The world is shifting, life is unpredictable, and many of us are facing deeply personal challenges—loss, financial hardship, or heartbreak. Many of us are feeling a sense of disenchantment with life, and asking,
“Is this all there is?”
My life is in transition, too. Moving across states, rebuilding my routines, and adjusting to a new reality has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect.
And then there’s the mundane difficulties of life. Yesterday, I recorded an entire podcast—only to lose it all when the power went out.
It took all my knowledge and discipline to channel my frustration and practice what I teach and trust that the re-recording would be even better because I’d had a full rehearsal. How’s that for a positive reframe? 🙂
The episode became a talk about that exact lesson—how to navigate hard times without falling into struggle, exhaustion, or despair.
Why We’re Taught to Push and Fight (And Why It’s Hurting Us)
We live in a world that glorifies forcing, fixing, and fighting. We’re taught that if we’re struggling, the answer is to work harder, do more, or control everything around us.
Feminine energy doesn’t work this way.
Imagine you’re walking through a storm, rain pounding down, and you’re fighting against the wind, struggling with each step. That’s what it feels like to push through hard times using only masculine energy. But now, imagine stepping under the cover of an ancient tree, feeling the rain fall around you while you rest and gather your strength. That’s the power of feminine energy—it doesn’t fight the storm, it finds refuge within it.
That’s what feminine energy teaches us—to stop fighting the storm and instead find refuge, gather strength, and trust in the process.
Maya’s Story: The Power of Stillness
Maya spent 20 years working relentlessly—until an autoimmune diagnosis forced her body to shut down. No amount of force could fix it. Doctors helped as much as they could, but her healing took off when she allowed herself to rest, to be still, and to stop proving her worth through work. She learned that slowing down wasn’t weakness—it was the key to reclaiming her health and joy.
Sophia’s Story: The Power of Intuition
Sophia stayed in a toxic marriage for years, trapped in fear and self-doubt. She routinely sat in her car crying and asking herself, What do I do? One night a quiet voice inside her answered, You already know. Curious and hopeful, she started journaling to reconnect with her inner wisdom. After a time of introspection and securing herself, she finally marshalled the resources and courage to leave—in trust, not fear.
Elise’s Story: The Power of Surrender
Elise had what everyone calls the “perfect life”—until her husband cheated and shattered everything she knew. She tried to fight, to fix, to control. But the next beautiful chapter only opened when she let go, stopped reliving the past, and surrendered to the unknown. Life opened up for her in ways she never imagined, and today her life is authentically perfect for her.
How to Strengthen Your Feminine Energy in Hard Times
If you’re facing a difficult season, here’s how you can start shifting out of struggle and into feminine power:
Create space for stillness – Stop running, sit in quiet, and listen to your inner wisdom.
Move with grace – Walk, stretch, or dance in a way that connects you to flow instead of force.
Practice receiving – Accept help, set boundaries, and say no without guilt.
Surrender to trust – Stop fighting what you can’t control and let life flow you forward.
Build sisterhood – Surround yourself with women who uplift and support you.
We are not meant to live in struggle. Feminine energy is here to guide us—to show us that we don’t have to fight through life. We can flow through it with wisdom, strength, and grace.
