Reclaim Your Femininity and Find Satisfaction
Episode 13 season 5: Alanna Kaivalya on Feminine Power
Lately it seems like women’s equality is farther away than ever? Don’t despair! Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes author Alanna Kaivalya for an inspiring discussion about finding your feminine power.
Show Notes:
You’ve probably heard the saying, “It’s a man’s world.” It’s true that our culture is still dominated by traditional masculine values, which can shape our views of what success is and how to achieve it. But what if we want a different definition—one that is collaborative rather than competitive? Where success is inclusive rather than winner take all? What can we do? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a guide for highly sensitive women, welcomes Alanna Kaivalya, author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman: Reclaiming Feminine Power for a discussion about the challenges women face in a patriarchal society. They talk about the need to reclaim femininity and embrace a community-focused approach to success, explore the importance of listening to our intuition and, most important, provide reason for hope that we can find lives that are satisfying for us on our terms.
Listen and learn:
The patriarchal myths we all live with—and why they don’t serve the feminine or the masculine very well
What feminine success looks like and how it benefits the community
The critical lessons we can learn from our foremothers’ struggles and how they can inspire us and put today’s challenges into perspective
How connecting to the feminine past can help if you have trouble getting in touch with your intuition
The domains of masculine and feminine energies, how they are different and why both are beneficial
How men struggle under the current narrative
Why “distorted masculinity” might be a better term than “toxic”
Why some women seem to have taken on a masculine energy to push for a more distorted masculine world
Why we should give ourselves permission to question things that don’t feel right—and where to download a free chapter called “Permission to Disrupt”
