Don’t let those intentions exhaust you: Using masculine & feminine energy to birth your 2017 desires

As we welcome the New Year energy a lot comes into question.

  • What do I want to achieve?
  • How do I want to feel?
  • What am I guided to become?

The possibilities the New Year presents can elate us and, just as quickly, we can find ourselves exhausted.

Overwhelmed with the vision we desire.
Doubtful because we can’t see the path between here & there.
The resolution goes out the window within a month.
Those old habits creep back in.


If you are anything like me, my clients or the women I’ve been speaking to so far this 2017, two things are clear:

  1. This is a big year of growth & transformation for many of us
  2. We feel exhausted

Which is surprisingly perfect because – subtly – these two states of being are a powerful balance of masculine and feminine energy.


Masculine Intentions

The linear, logical part of us knows this is a big year of growth & transformation. We’ve harnessed the New Year energy to set/receive an intention, a vision.

Whether you’ve decided on a key goal, or a soul desired feeling (my feeling is playful) your 2017 intentions personify the penetrating, masculine aspect of your energy.

Once that intention is set, most often our next action is to boldly step out to achieve it. Make a plan, take action, dive in.

Except perhaps (if you are honest) there is that niggly feeling of exhaustion that lingers close to the surface… Making it hard to muster the energy required, making it challenging to find the conviction to move forward.

As I sat back to receive my 2017 visions – in life, in love & in business – a number of bold intentions made themselves clear. The scary part – there is SO much work involved!!!

Just the idea of these visions made me exhausted & spun me into resistance (which looks like numbing myself out reading fantasy fiction novels for a whole week!).

Point is – when we ignore our feelings (of exhaustion, or anything else) we cripple our chances of success.

This is why our masculine intents must be married with our feminine magnetism.


Feminine Magnetism

Those feelings of doubt, resistance, fear or exhaustion that accompany your new year’s intentions are absolutely blessing in disguise.

While the masculine makes a direct-path assault on your vision, the feminine takes the path of authentically deepening the vision so that it may reveal itself from within.

She wants to take that vision deep into every cell of your body so that you can remember that you already are this desire.

She wants you to EMBODY this truth authentically, in your body, before bringing it out into the world.  


The feminine invites you to honor the part of you that feel uncomfortable – for this is where you are ready to open & remember.

She whispers…

  • Feel that exhaustion and slow down (it’s going to get you there faster)
  • Feel that doubt and explore it
  • Notice where you stop feeling, and invite yourself to open again

It is only through acknowledging, feeling & allowing the states of exhaustion, doubt & other uncomfortable emotions that we can liberate them – and return to our deepest truth.


As my own vision unfolds part of me feels aligned – yet another doubts.

Can you do this?
What if it doesn’t work?
Is this the right path?

Yet I choose to acknowledge that doubt, to open and feel it fully (it often only takes a few minutes) – and upgrade that pocket of resistance that lives within me (trying to keep me safe) so that I can move into my vision with more ease.


This 2017, I invite you to remember that EVERYTHING you could want, or desire, already exists in the world. If you can dream it – you can have it.

I also invite you to remember that within you is a powerful, pleasure-filled & playful woman who is ready to be remembered.

When we embody these truths our desires effortlessly draw towards us with feminine ease.


If you are ready to activate more of your feminine gifts & create a truly magnetic 2017 I invite you to join me at the She Is Magnetic live 2-day event being held in Brisbane & Melbourne this year.
