Societal Pressure on Women
As women, we often struggle to really embrace our femininity. From a young age we are taught to be strong, independent and self-sufficient. We are told to compete with men, to work hard and to be successful in our careers. While there is certainly nothing wrong with ambition and hard work (and I strongly encourage you to do that, if that’s what fulfills you), this societal pressure can often leave us feeling disconnected from our feminine energy. In this article, I want to share my personal journey of embracing my femininity and the power of feminine energy.
Feeling Disconnected
Growing up, I was always a bit of a tomboy. I thought it was cool being kind of distant and really ambitious and strong. I had a lot of guy-friends and never thought much about my femininity and I didn’t really care about makeup or fashion (again, nothing wrong with that). As I got older however, I started to feel like something was missing. I began to notice that I didn’t feel very connected to my body or my emotions. I was always in my head, thinking about the next task on my to-do list, rather than being present in the moment.
Discovering Feminine Energy
My journey towards embracing my femininity truly began when I met my husband. I felt something was amiss in our relationship dynamic as I always felt pressured to be strong and independent, and couldn’t seem to unwind and relax. That’s when I stumbled upon the concept of feminine energy, which changed everything for me. It’s an energy that’s often associated with qualities like creativity, intuition and nurturing and it flows through all living things. Tapping into this energy helped me connect with my true self and embrace my intuition, creativity and sensuality. It allowed me to connect with my emotions and my body in a way that felt liberating and empowering. You can also read about 6 ways to be more feminine.
Listening to Your Body
For me, embracing my femininity meant learning to slow down and listen to my body. It meant taking time to connect with my emotions, even when they were uncomfortable or difficult (which they often were). It meant allowing myself to be vulnerable and open, rather than constantly putting up walls to protect myself. It also meant learning to embrace my sensuality and my sexuality, which had always been a source of shame and confusion for me.
Powerful Ways to Embrace Femininity and Gain Access to Your Feminine Energy
A powerful way that I have embraced my femininity is through writing. Writing allows me to connect with my innermost thoughts and emotions in a way that feels authentic and empowering. It allows me to express myself creatively and to explore new ideas and perspectives. When I write, I feel a sense of freedom and liberation, and I am reminded of the power of feminine energy.
Nurture!
Connecting with my pets and gardening have also been very helpful in embracing my femininity. My two bunnies and cat provide a sense of nurturing and love that reminds me of the power of feminine energy. Taking care of them has taught me the importance of being patient, gentle and nurturing. Gardening, on the other hand, has allowed me to connect with the natural world and the cycles of life. It has taught me the importance of surrendering to the process and embracing the beauty of imperfection (also it is really fun and fulfilling to watch plants grow). These activities have allowed me to connect with my feminine energy in a way that feels natural and authentic.
Prioritizing selfcare
One of the most important ways to embrace femininity is through selfcare. For many years I saw selfcare as a luxury, something that I could only do when I had extra time or money. But as I began to prioritize self-care, I realized that it was essential for my well-being. Self-care can take many forms, from taking a bath to going for a walk in nature. It is anything that nourishes your body, mind or soul. When we prioritize self-care, we are sending a message to ourselves that we are worthy of love and attention.

Connecting with your Deepest Self and Your Feminine Energy
Embracing your femininity is not always easy. It can mean confronting the parts of yourself that you have been taught to suppress or ignore. It can mean letting go of the need to be in control and instead embracing the flow of life. But the rewards are so fulfilling. When we embrace our femininity, we are able to connect with our deepest selves and to tap into the powerful energy that flows through us all. We feel so much more in tune with ourselves, everything that stresses us out is so much easier all of a sudden. I really encourage you to start the journey to your own femininity. Find that inner goddess within you!
Importance of Supportive Community
If you are struggling to embrace your femininity, start small. Take a few moments each day to connect with your body and your emotions. Try a new hobby that allows you to express your creativity, like painting or writing. Prioritize self-care, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. Remember that embracing your femininity is a journey and that it is okay to take small steps. It is also important to surround yourself with people who support and celebrate your femininity. Find a community of women who share your values and can uplift and encourage you along the way.
