The Problem with Masculinization of Women.
Because of my coaching job, I often see women struggling to find true empowerment and fulfillment in their professional lives. Their frustration happens because society has unconsciously taught us to wear a masculine suit and be strong to succeed in the corporate world. Therefore, this perspective has caused us to neglect our intrinsic suit of feminine energy. The suit in which we shine with more power and find the most effective way to health ourselves and the world. Without it, we can easily be led to stress, anxiety, and confusion in our lives.
The modern feminist movement has also added to the problem, promoting the idea of a “strong woman” that has indirectly caused us to disconnect from our natural energy. We have been made to believe that our feminine qualities are weak and insufficient, so we need to behave and act like men to be someone in life, leading to a loss of our true essence. A powerful uniqueness that has naturally evolved within us through millions of years but that these new cultural movements have disregarded.
The Power of Feminine Energy.
The truth is feminine energy is not weak. On the contrary, it is a powerful energy that can not only heal our lives but also transform the world around us. It is empathetic, understanding, nurturing, and loving. When women connect with it, they can experience accurate healing and true empowerment. This does not mean that men cannot be all those things. But we need to recognize the current corporate world, created by men for men, values more masculine qualities such as competitiveness and goal orientation. This is not wrong, it is just how it is, but it is important to balance it out.
Feminine energy has an essential place in the corporate world. I even dearly say it is exactly the missing ingredient to have a more just and humane environment. It will allow us to bring the balance, empathy and compassion people need to fall in love with their jobs and their lives again. Without it, the business world will continue to be a cold and hostile environment where burnout will be considered the new normal.
Reconnecting with Your Feminine Energy.
So, how can you reconnect with your feminine energy and tap into its power? It starts with recognizing and honoring feminine qualities. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and embrace your nurturing and empathetic sides. In other words, letting behind the need to be right, controlling and imposing your ways. It is about stopping the necessity to show off your perfections to prove that you can continue climbing the stair of success. On the contrary, embracing and honoring feminine energy is about welcoming your imperfections and listening to your profound personal needs, as well as the true needs of your team and the people around you.
Through this mindset change, you can start cultivating more compassionate and trustworthy environments. Environments where everyone can flow freely and become the professionals that the business world actually needs. To foster real creativity and accountability in our jobs, people must feel safe instead of believing that they need to keep competing because they are always behind.

All these ideas and practices can help you tap into your feminine energy to balance your life and find true empowerment. And I mean true empowerment because it is natural. It makes you infinitely vibrant and relieved instead of heavy and exhausted. True empowerment does not need to be forced and imposed in such a systematic way that causes stress in your life and constant conflicts with others.
It is not only about you.
Reconnecting with your feminine energy is not just about recognizing your feminine qualities; it is also about embracing your true essence, building a more compassionate world and finding true empowerment. By tapping into this intrinsic energy, you will stop the need to “prove” that you are good and suited to do the job – you already are. Instead, you will naturally shine on your own, and everyone will feel it without pushing anything. When you no longer need to prove that you are stronger or better than others but a compassionate part of their lives and field, you will directly start listening to profound personal needs and creating a more just corporate world.
You don’t have to sacrifice your feminine energy to succeed as a professional. On the contrary, you should bring it with you allowing it to transform the way you work and live. Today is the perfect time to embrace this energy and watch how it transforms your life and the world around you.
