Awakening Woman: Are we selfish or are we healing the world?

Awakened women spend a lot of time thinking about themselves….

We would rather do yoga than attend that social engagement.
We want to say NO more often than yes.
We spend time a lot of time turning within & monitoring our feelings.
We spend hours wondering when & how our passions & soul work is going to beactualized.

Part of us wonders…. “am I just selfish?”
To people around is it might look self-obsessed.

But the truth is that awakening women are healing the world.

When we, as women, decide to be something different.
When we decide to do something different with our lives.
It creates a ripple effect of change around us.

As incarnations of the divine feminine what we do to our body, we do to the planet.

There is no separating our inner world from our outer world.

Both words need the same thing right now – more love.
And this is the gift of your awakening….


GIFT #1: We heal the wounds of our feminine lineage

The generations that have passed before us paved a way for more liberation, growth, equality and freedom for. Yet there was, and is, still struggle in the lineage of the feminine.

Overworking. Competition. Comparison. Hard hearts. Persecution. Shame.

We’ve all known these ways of operating in the world. Because we learnt them from our mother & the role models society glorified.

Now it’s our turn to add & evolve the next wave of feminine revolution.

This is the revolution that embraces our feminine qualities of emotional & sensual embodiment (feeling more & feeling good!) while retaining our footing in the boardroom and office.

Now is the time for us to write a new lineage of ease, compassion, open heart, pleasure & worthiness.

This can only happen when we acknowledge, feel, forgive & release the wounds of our own wombs, to create something new and leave a new more balanced & empowered legacy for our daughters.

Gift #2: When you are full, you overflow

Our soul awakens & draws us deeper into ourselves for one core purpose – to receive more LOVE.

To give more love to ourselves.
To receive more love for ourselves.
To be in greater love with ourselves.
>>> This is the essence of all spiritual practices.

And when we are in that place of filling our own cup, receiving & nourishing from within – we begin to overflow.

We begin to give ourselves to the word from a place of overflowing rather than a place of:

  • The Martyr who must do it because no one else will
  • The Servant who must sacrifice her own needs for the good of others
  • The Duty Bound Woman who suffers under the shackles she continues to place upon herself

The world doesn’t need to see you in servitude to your life.
You daughter doesn’t need to see you in giving your life force to others, before you give to yourself.

This is the gift of awakening. You can only give away what you hold within. And until you hold true love & respect for yourself within, you cannot truly give it away. 


Gift #3: Awareness expands. period.

When your awareness expands, it expands period.

While we become so much more aware and conscious within our bodies – our feelings, thoughts & emotions – it’s impossible to NOT become more aware of the environment around us.

The more inner work I’ve done the more I’ve become aware of
… the food that goes into my body (I’ve intuitively become less included to eat sugar & I cannot drink non-filtered water)
… the sanitary products I use internally (I use a Mooncup which reduces tampon landfill waste)
… the plastics waste that I contribute to (these bee wax eco wraps replace the need for glad wrap in the kitchen)
… and the list goes on


It’s time for the stories of “it’s too selfish”, “I’m not worth it” or “I can’t have that” to be put to rest – for good.
This is your time, your turn.
If you have the courage to choose yourself. You have the courage to choose love.
And we all need more of that.
