Centuries ago, women held significant power in society. We were revered as the creators of life due to our sacred connection to the Earth and our ability to cultivate intuition and flow in our lives and the lives of others. We were multifaceted doers, in tune with the rhythms of nature, with our cycles synchronized with the moon. We were the wisdom keepers and embodied the Divine Feminine. However, during patriarchal times, we were stripped of our remarkable capabilities and silenced. We faced shunning, and men dimmed our brilliance.

To coexist and cohabitate in this male-dominated world, many of us have “forgotten” how to embrace our femininity. We have felt compelled to adopt masculine traits to be seen, to receive promotions, and to become partners, professionally and personally. Often, we have had to minimize our nurturing and supportive qualities and adopt a “toughening up” approach in the corporate environment. We have been conditioned to believe that being feminine is weak, soft, and unproductive.

Can we run a business while being nurturing, caring, loving, supportive, and compassionate? How can we choose to lead differently? Instead of undermining our coworkers, how can we uplift one another? How can we embrace our emotions while at work?

We are in a monumental time in history—one that emphasizes the importance of feminine power. It’s an opportunity to recalibrate, remember, and honor these qualities.

So how can you lead from the place of what is most aligned within you? How can you cultivate a workplace that feels spacious, positive, and flowing.

As we shake off the shackles of the past, may we create a whole new archetype for women in these awakening times.

As we reclaim our voices, may we find the strength.

To speak for those who do not have one.

 

As we surrender to our cyclic nature may we be

Strengthened by the effortless rhythm of the Earth.

As we honor our bodies, may we be reconnected.

With the ancient wisdom that lies within.

 

As we remember the sacredness of our womanhood may

We step into the potency of who we came here to be.

 

As we let go of mistrust and past hurts, may we mend the severing of sisterhood and remember that there

Is more than enough room for us all to rise.
