Why flow and feminine energy?
A very Happy New Year to you! As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m excited to talk about something that’s been on my heart—flow. Specifically, how you can embrace the power of feminine energy to make this year feel more aligned, effortless, and abundant.
In this episode, we’ll dive into what it really means to embody flow, how to notice when you’re resisting it, and some practical ways to invite it in—whether in your career, business, relationships, or personal growth.
As we begin 2025, I want you to feel empowered to move with the current of life, rather than against it. Let’s dive deep into a year of trusting your natural rhythm and embracing the flow of feminine energy together.
If you’re vibing this episode and feeling the call I’ll also be talking to you about the Flow Retreat I am running in a few months in May in Vietnam. I can’t wait I am so excited. Feminine energy is going to be a part of all the retreats I run this year! Flow is very much luxury self care feminine energy vibes.
Let’s start by breaking down what feminine energy really means. It’s not about gender or fitting into societal boxes. Feminine energy is about intuition, receptivity, creativity, and connection. It’s the part of you that thrives in stillness, listens to your inner wisdom, and embraces life with an open heart.
But here’s the catch: many of us have been conditioned to favour masculine energy—doing, achieving, and pushing forward. While those qualities are important, constantly operating in that mode can leave you feeling drained and disconnected.
Does this sound familiar? Maybe you feel like you’re constantly on a treadmill, chasing goals but feeling unfulfilled. Or perhaps you long for more ease and joy but don’t know how to get there. That’s where feminine energy and flow come in.
What is flow in terms of feminine energy?
Flow is about aligning with the natural rhythms of your body, mind, and spirit. Think of it like swimming with the current rather than against it. When you’re in flow, you’re not forcing things to happen; you’re allowing life to unfold with grace.
Here’s a simple example: Have you ever had a day where everything just clicked? You felt confident, connected, and inspired. That’s flow. It’s not something you have to earn; it’s your natural state when you’re aligned with your feminine energy.
Diving into the concept of flow as it relates to feminine energy—a state that’s as powerful as it is misunderstood. At its core, feminine flow is about moving with life rather than against it, tapping into your natural rhythms, intuition, and creativity
Think of it as the “how” of embracing ease and receptivity—letting inspiration, emotions, and connection guide you. Flow isn’t passive; it’s an active surrender to what’s unfolding, where intuition leads and grace follows.
Signs you are out of flow in your feminine energy
I’ve shared examples of what it means to flow, how about when you aren’t in flow? When you’re out of flow with your feminine energy, life starts to feel heavy, disconnected, and out of sync. One common sign is burnout—the result of constantly operating in a “go-go-go” mindset, prioritising productivity over presence. Instead of honouring your need for rest or replenishment, you push through exhaustion, often at the expense of your emotional well-being. For example, you might find yourself skipping meals, sacrificing sleep, or feeling irritable and drained even after accomplishing everything on your to-do list.
Another telltale sign is people-pleasing, where you prioritise everyone else’s needs above your own. This might look like agreeing to plans you don’t want to attend, overcommitting to help others, or staying in relationships or jobs that don’t honor your worth. In this state, you lose connection with your desires and intuition because you’re too focused on external validation or fear of conflict. Instead of flowing naturally, your energy feels stifled, leaving you depleted and resentful.
You’re also not in flow when you’re forcing or resisting what’s unfolding in life. Forcing shows up as controlling every detail to ensure a desired outcome, ignoring the signals telling you to pause or pivot. On the flip side, resisting might look like procrastination, avoiding decisions, or clinging to what feels safe even when it’s no longer serving you. Imagine staying in a job you’ve outgrown because you fear change or trying to make a relationship work when it’s clear it’s misaligned. Both forcing and resisting disconnect you from ease, creativity, and trust—the core of feminine flow.
Let’s get more practical and apply this to real life scenarios. Intuitively what came through was flow in relation to connections dating or being in a relationship as well as business.
Examples of Not Being in Flow in Dating
One clear sign of being out of flow in dating is overthinking and strategizing every interaction. You might spend hours crafting the “perfect” text or analyzing every word and gesture for hidden meanings. Oh my gosh Alex said this what does he really mean. Bob replied to me 5 hours later instead of his usual 2. Why did Graham use this emoji?
This over-analysis takes you out of the moment, making dating feel like a chore or a game to win rather than an opportunity to connect authentically.
Another example is chasing or overextending yourself to gain someone’s approval. This might look like initiating all the conversations, rearranging your schedule to accommodate theirs, or ignoring your own boundaries to appear more agreeable. For instance, agreeing to a date idea you dislike or tolerating inconsistent communication sends a message that their needs matter more than yours. This imbalance not only drains your energy but also prevents a genuine, mutual connection from forming.
Always Initiating the Conversation: You’re the one who always starts the texts or calls, even though you’ve noticed they’re not reciprocating. You might feel like you need to keep the conversation going to stay on their radar, even though it’s becoming one-sided. This dynamic shifts the balance and leaves you feeling exhausted from constantly putting in the effort while they seem to take a backseat.
Over-Scheduling to Accommodate Them: You rearrange your entire week just to fit in a date or hangout that works better for them, even if it disrupts your own plans. For example, you push aside a night out with friends or skip a workout because they suddenly have time to meet. This can quickly create resentment, as you’re putting their needs ahead of your own and losing sight of your personal priorities.
Constantly Texting or Messaging: When they don’t respond as quickly as you’d like, you might send multiple follow-up texts or even a message that asks if everything’s okay. You feel compelled to stay in constant contact, fearing that any lapse in communication might mean they’re losing interest. This behavior creates pressure and often comes across as needy or insecure, pushing the person away rather than allowing them to miss you and come to you on their own.
Lastly, resisting vulnerability can also block the natural flow in dating. You might avoid opening up about your feelings, downplay your desires, or pretend to be indifferent to protect yourself from rejection. For example, you could suppress your excitement about a budding connection or hold back from discussing what you’re truly looking for in a relationship. This resistance creates a superficial dynamic where neither party can fully show up, stalling the potential for deep and meaningful connection.
Examples of Not Being in Flow in a Relationship
When you’re out of flow in a relationship, one common sign is forcing connection or progress instead of allowing things to evolve naturally. For instance, you might find yourself pressuring your partner to communicate in a specific way, setting unrealistic expectations, or rushing milestones like moving in together or defining the relationship. Instead of creating intimacy, this can lead to friction and feelings of imbalance, as the relationship feels more like a project to manage than a partnership to nurture.
Another sign of being out of flow is losing yourself in the relationship. This can look like constantly compromising your needs and desires to keep your partner happy or to avoid conflict. For example, you might stop pursuing your hobbies, change how you dress, or neglect friendships because you’re overly focused on maintaining the relationship. Over time, this self-abandonment erodes your confidence and creates a dynamic where you feel unheard or undervalued.
A less obvious but equally significant example is resisting change or avoiding truth. You might ignore red flags, hold onto a relationship that no longer serves you, or refuse to address recurring issues out of fear of confrontation or loss. For example, staying silent about a lack of emotional intimacy or avoiding tough conversations about mismatched goals keeps you stuck in stagnation. This resistance to growth creates frustration and blocks the natural flow of connection and evolution in the relationship.
Examples of Not Being in Flow in Your Own Business
One common sign of being out of flow in your business is chasing clients or opportunities from a place of desperation rather than alignment. For instance, you might lower your prices to secure a client, agree to work outside your niche, or take on projects that don’t feel aligned with your values just to “keep the money coming in.” While this might provide short-term security, it ultimately drains your energy and creates resentment, as you end up doing work that doesn’t light you up or reflect your true expertise.
Another sign is forcing growth through hustle rather than alignment. You might over-schedule your time, constantly create new offerings, or push aggressive marketing strategies without pausing to reflect on what’s working. For example, endlessly tweaking your website or launching back-to-back promotions without a clear strategy can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected from your original vision. This approach often leads to burnout and diminishes the joy and creativity that inspired your business in the first place.
Finally, operating from a scarcity mindset keeps you stuck in fear and resistance. You might avoid investing in tools, support, or mentorship because you’re afraid the money won’t come back to you. Or, you might overcommit to clients, saying yes to everything, because you fear that turning down an opportunity will mean losing out. This mindset stifles trust in your abilities and the abundance available to you, keeping you in a cycle of overwork and undervaluation. When you’re not in flow, your business feels like an uphill battle rather than a space where your creativity and impact can thrive.
A key element of flow in feminine energy is receptivity
Receptivity is the art of being open-hearted and unguarded, allowing life to flow to you rather than always striving to chase or force things. It’s about allowing yourself to receive inspiration, opportunities, and deep connections without resistance. When you’re truly receptive, you’re no longer focused on how to control the outcome, and instead, you trust that what is meant for you will come in its own time and form. The key is to stay open, letting the universe bring you what you need, without second-guessing or doubting its arrival.
When you embrace receptivity, self-doubt has no place in your heart. Often, we block blessings because of limiting beliefs or fear of not being enough. But when you practice being open, you begin to trust that you’re worthy of receiving. This mindset shift allows new possibilities to enter your life effortlessly. For example, you might start saying “yes” to opportunities that you would’ve previously turned down, not because you have all the answers, but because you trust the process and your ability to navigate whatever unfolds.
The beauty of receptivity is that it aligns you with flow. Instead of forcing outcomes, you step into a rhythm where you are in tune with what is unfolding. The more you stay open, the more you start to notice synchronicities, coincidences, and moments of serendipity. These moments are the universe showing you that you’re aligned with your true path. Being receptive allows you to feel at ease, trusting that everything you need will flow to you when the time is right, and that there’s no need to rush or push against life’s natural current.
To flow is to trust your intuition and feminine energy
Trusting your intuition is a powerful practice that enables you to make decisions that are aligned with your true self, free from the noise of external opinions or overthinking. Intuition is that deep inner knowing that guides you, and it often speaks quietly but clearly. The first step in trusting it is learning to quiet your mind and turn down the volume on external influences. When you stop overanalyzing and listen closely, you’ll find that your inner voice has always been there, patiently guiding you.
A key aspect of trusting your intuition is practicing small decisions with confidence. Start by listening to those quiet nudges for everyday things, such as choosing what to eat or what direction to take in your day. Each time you follow your gut feeling, even in seemingly trivial matters, you strengthen your ability to trust your intuition in larger decisions. The more you practice, the clearer and more reliable your intuition becomes, making it easier to lean on when the stakes are higher.
It’s also important to understand that intuition isn’t always loud or dramatic—it often comes in the form of a gentle knowing or a feeling of peace around a choice. When you trust your intuition, you release the need for perfection and control. You stop second-guessing and worrying about the “what-ifs.” Instead, you make decisions with confidence, knowing that your intuition is guiding you towards what’s best for you, even if you don’t have all the answers at once.
Creativity, flow and feminine energy work together
Creativity is a natural expression of feminine energy, and it thrives in a state of flow. When you’re in flow, your creative ideas come easily, effortlessly, and without resistance. You don’t have to force them or think too hard about the outcome. Instead, you let go of expectations and allow the creative process to unfold as it will. Whether you’re writing, painting, dancing, or solving problems, creativity flows when you surrender to the moment and trust that inspiration will arrive when it’s ready.
Flow in creativity is about being fully immersed in the present. When you’re in the zone, time seems to disappear. You lose track of the clock and the pressure to perform. This state of deep immersion allows ideas to flow through you like a river—unimpeded and abundant. In flow, you stop trying to control the process and start allowing the creative energy to guide you. It’s about having a sense of ease and letting go of perfectionism, trusting that whatever emerges is enough.
To cultivate flow in creativity, it’s important to create space for inspiration. This means letting go of self-judgment and giving yourself the freedom to explore and experiment without worrying about the outcome. Whether it’s starting a new project or working on something you’ve been stuck on, sometimes the key to creativity is simply giving yourself permission to play. By embracing flow, you create an environment where your creativity isn’t stifled by expectations or doubts, and where ideas can flow freely and naturally.
How to start embodying flow with feminine energy
The first step in embodying feminine energy flow is to slow down. In our fast-paced world, we’re often conditioned to move quickly and constantly check off tasks. But the feminine energy thrives in the space of presence and stillness. Start by carving out moments each day to pause—whether it’s a few minutes of deep breathing, a walk in nature, or simply sipping your morning coffee without distractions. Slowing down creates space for intuition and creativity to emerge naturally.
Next, begin to trust your intuition. Feminine flow is about leaning into your gut feelings and inner knowing rather than overthinking every decision For instance, when faced with a decision, close your eyes for a moment and ask yourself what feels right, not what seems most logical. The more you honor your intuitive hits, the easier it becomes to hear and trust them in larger life choices.
Being present and practicing gratitude are two key ways to activate feminine flow. When you can embrace each moment with full presence and appreciation, you invite more of what you desire into your life. This can be as simple as noticing the small moments that bring you joy, sunrise, a meaningful conversation, swimming in the sea. The more you cultivate gratitude, the more you open yourself up to the abundance that is already flowing around you.
Release the Fear of Rejection – Feminine energy is about being unapologetically yourself and letting go of the fear of being rejected or judged. When you’re fully in flow, you can express your desires, boundaries, and emotions without hesitation. Practice showing up as your authentic self, even in situations that make you feel vulnerable. For example, if you’re dating, allow yourself to express interest without fear of being too forward or worrying about how you’ll be perceived. The more you release the need for external validation, the more aligned you’ll be with your own flow.
Flow in creativity is about being fully immersed in the present. When you’re in the zone, time seems to disappear. You lose track of the clock and the pressure to perform. This state of deep immersion allows ideas to flow through you like a river—unimpeded and abundant. In flow, you stop trying to control the process and start allowing the creative energy to guide you. It’s about having a sense of ease and letting go of perfectionism, trusting that whatever emerges is enough.
