& how to make her fall in love with you too Wild Woman is within you too. And she is waiting for you to unleash her intuitive superpowers to live your (and her) wildest, best and happiest life ever. In the famous (paraphrased) words of Clarissa Pinkola Estes, every woman understand the words 'wild' and 'woman' intuitively. Even if the concept of the Wild Woman archetype is new to you, you know deep down it's more about a remembrance than about a discovering. So, why should we lean i[...]
Dear sister, My guess is that you clicked on this blogpost with a sigh of relief, or a sigh of overwhelm - or probably a bit of both, as well as with the hopes of these written words taking some of that away. I see you. In our busy world, hustle culture is the norm. We can access (social) media 24/7, are secretly quite afraid to get bored, and are subconsciously (and hell, sometimes consciously!) pressured into always expecting more of ourselves. Because of all of this, we prioritise t[...]
and no, it's not just trusting... Is this a bit of a clickbaity title? Ah, perhaps! But if you've ever wondered why your goals aren't working out, if you're doing the manifestation game wrong, if what you set out to achieve may actually be too ambitious... this one's for you. Because I personally don't believe in the more toxic spiritual narrative that by just staying high vibe, continuously letting go of the 'how' and prioritising trust over action, is doing anyone a favour. Las[...]
it's time to live life for you Have you ever had a moment where you felt like you looked up and realised that your dreams weren't yours, your goals weren't yours and the life you were living wasn't yours? If yes, you know what I'm about to say. If not, maybe this is that moment for you. We grow up in a world that expects us to be, live and dream a certain way. As women, we are conditioned to believe that the 'good girl' way is the only way. You know what I mean.[...]
when speaking your truth is medicine for others too This week marked the 100th upload of the Spiritual Feminist podcast - a pretty amazing milestone if you ask me! Early 2019, I started the podcast because I was craving a safe space to figure out my truth, talk about spirituality and feminist issues in a way that didn't feel so 'public' (lol, I'll explain later) and express myself in a different way than I had been doing so far. About that public piece. Of course, a podcast is one[...]
because who has got time for *that*? I will admit I have opened blogposts with a more positive title in the past, but sometimes it just *has* to be done. Because sister, there's a big chance your energy is leaking all over the place to people, things, situations, you-name-it, which are not even worthy of your attention and time, let alone your spiritual growth. Oofff, let's sit with that for a minute. What are you currently saying YES to that secretly kinda deserve a big fat NO? [...]
reclaim your hidden inner power "I don't want to have to be resilient", I read somewhere on Instagram the other day. The author of the post expressed her frustration of having to be strong and powerful in a world that is designed to keep on knocking you down. Her wish was to be soft, to be herself, to just 'be' rather than continuously having to stand up for herself. I get it. I get her frustration with the frameworks we find ourselves in. As much as I feel deeply[...]
the power of your open heart Vulnerability. Like sensitivity, one of those concepts - or character traits - which, in our society, isn't necessarily welcomed. Vulnerable means open. Vulnerable means raw. Vulnerable means showing your imperfections to the external world. And imperfection has a hard time existing in a world which likes us all to believe everyone (but ourselves!) is living up to its limiting and pressurising standards. As I often end up concluding, vulnerability is[...]
rooting vs. protecting your energy Right now, in this moment, you may be carrying a heavy load that's not yours to hold. Your shoulders may be weighing down with baggage that's not yours to claim. Your head may be overflowing with thoughts that are not your true beliefs. Right now, you may be held back by energy that is not yours. And right now, it's time to release that which is not yours to carry, to create space for your Self to come through. In our society, there is a tre[...]
"Pff, if only I wasn't so damn sensitive all the time!"Ever sighed with frustration and thought that thought?I'm with you sister. In our busy, hustly world, sensitivity is the very last thing that is helpful. When you want to keep up with the next best thing, filter through busy streets with noise, smells and lights, and scroll through flashy reels on social media, your open energy is far from supportive.'Why me?' you may be thinking...Well, as your fairy goddess mother (lol),[...]
