Greetings beautiful soul and welcome back! ⭐
Today’s post is how to create a career using feminine energy. I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube lately by Jillz Guerin. I love her videos on feminine energy and felt like I wanted to share with you what I’m learning.

You feel like you’re in “get-by” mode, go-go-going without a lot of internal reward
You’re tired of feeling unfulfilled in your career, not to mention exhausted
You’ve tried reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching Youtube, without successful shifts in your life
You’re ready to learn a better way to create a career and make money
*PS - this post is equally as good for females as for males as for any gender identity!
But First, A Quick Story
I used to be super in my masculine energy back when I worked in healthcare. I would always try to do everything myself, push push push, achieve achieve achieve, and eventually met the worst and most severe burnout of my life that took years to recover from. My work was really unfulfilling at the time and I always felt really drained.
Then, I discovered the magic and joy of cultivating my feminine energy. I no longer rush around and over-schedule my time, but I move at the pace of my body and actually listen to it. I rest a lot more, I enjoy my life a lot more, and I have created work I truly love.
Why Would You Want to Create a Career Using Feminine Energy?
We are in a period of record-high burnouts! Especially for women, but rest assured, if you are a man reading this article, you too can benefit from this.
We grew up in a masculine-dominated world. I’ve written about masculine and feminine energies here. Masculine energy is all about logic, linear thinking, productivity, solving problems, and taking action. We were taught to play up this energy when we were young so that we could be successful.
Equally, we were taught to play down our feminine energies. Feminine energy is all about intuition, creativity, emotions, love, nurturing, and playfulness. If you are a woman, chances are you are higher in your feminine energies than your masculine (but not always). And if you are a man, chances are that you are higher in your masculine energies than your feminine (but not always). Also, it doesn’t matter what your gender identity is, because we all have both masculine and feminine energies inside of us.
But the truth is, being overly in your masculine energy is what leads to burnout. If you are always pushing, achieving, chasing, and trying to prove yourself, there isn’t much room for the other half of your energies, which are all about rest, rejuvenation, nourishment, creativity, and love.
Masculine energy lives up in the head. Feminine energy lives down in the body. Without a good balance, you are bound to burn out, or on the flip side, be too passive to create anything good.
What Is Creating a Career Using Feminine Energy?
Rather than living straight up in the head, like the masculine does, using your feminine energy means tuning inwards to yourself and your body to ask things like, “what lights me up?” “What gives me joy?” “What is for the greatest and highest good?” “How can I use my natural gifts to serve others?” “What is my next best step?”
See the truth is, you learned that you have to struggle to earn your worth, your paychecks, your love, and your life. If you’re not struggling, you don’t deserve it. But feminine energy is moreso, “I am worthy of the life I wish to create”, “I am already enough”, “I am powerful beyond measure”, “I don’t have to prove anything”. “I am capable of attracting my dreams”.
Being solely in your masculine energy means you have to chase. And for many, that’s fine. But constant chasing is exhausting. Inviting feminine energy in means you are attracting and magnetizing instead. You can still use your masculine energy (and you should!) to help build your career, but in a way where the masculine is the structure that holds the container for the feminine to flow. Feminine energy loves to flow!
How to Create a Career Using Feminine Energy
I’m going to walk you step-by-step on how to create a career using your feminine energy to guide you, keeping in mind that you still will use your masculine energy, because it’s helpful and meant to support and complement the feminine.
Prioritize Self-Care: in an overly masculine world, self-care was not a priority. This can cause you to be in go-go-go mode. Prioritizing self-care means pausing and slowing down to take care of your mind, body, and spirit in nourishing ways.
Get Into Your Body: your connection to the feminine depends on your ability to get out of your head and into your body. Feminine energy loves movement - but not strenuous, strict, tense movements. She loves to flow. So whatever helps you get into your body and flow. Examples include dance, yoga, tai chi, walking, gentle movements, or stretches.
Clear and make space: Feminine energy does best when you have space to allow it come through. Moving too fast or on too strict of a schedule discourages it from coming through. Creating space can include, taking a nap, doing absolutely nothing, meditating, journaling. Things that help you slow down so that feminine energy can come through.
Create safety: Because it wasn’t safe for us to show our feminine energy as younger people, we learned to suppress it. Coaxing your feminine energy back out means creating a safe space for it to come out and flow again. Wounded feminine energy will be full of shame and guilt and will want to hide. Safety means you can heal those hurts and thereby rebuild and strengthen your feminine energy.
Use Your Intuition: Feminine energy is all about intuition. It’s about trusting yourself and the intuitive nudges you feel, hear, see, or know. It’s all about using that sixth sense of yours. If you want to create something new, ask your intuition, “What is my next step in creating a career I love?” or “What is my purpose and how can I express it to serve others?” Following your intuition should feel joyful, even if there are parts of you that feel a little scared.
Use Masculine Energy to Support the Feminine: Feminine energy is like the creative and ideas person. But ideas are only ideas if they stay that way. The masculine helps these ideas come to fruition by carrying out the actions it takes to implement your feminine energy ideas. If no one sees your ideas, then you’re not helping anyone. This muscle of receiving first, then doing, is new for many of you. It takes practice to trust this new process, versus the old way of doing things.
Attract What’s Meant For You: Feminine energy is not about being passive. Healthy feminine energy is actually an initiator. Notice I didn’t say pursuer or chaser, there’s a difference. That’s why when you receive your intuitive ideas first, you can then use your masculine energy to test them out and see if they’re valid, then carry out any further actions to bring your idea, service, or project to life. If you’re specific about who you serve and what you do, the right people, clients, and opportunities will come to you.
What Happens If You Follow These Steps?
You’ll have a healthy balance of both feminine and masculine energies in your work. You invite creativity, love, rest, play, fun, nurturing, and rejuvenation back into your work and your life. You’ll feel vibrant, joyful, peaceful, lit up, content, delighted and satisfied with the balance you’ve struck. You’ll come up with new, fresh ideas that you’d never considered before. You’ll set up your systems with confidence, knowing you can attract the right work, clients, and opportunities to serve.
Mistakes to Avoid
Moving too fast to listen to your body: remember, the feminine lives in the body, not inside the head. Refusing to pause and listen means you will continue to be in go-go-go mode by default according to your conditioning.
Listening to everyone else's input over your own: the feminine can only be heard if you choose to prioritize her. If you keep listening to others first, she won’t have a chance to come out and help guide you.
Listening to your head only: the feminine is extremely intuitive and has lots of great tips for living the life of your dreams. If you never pause to listen or heed her instructions through your intuition, you’ll miss out on your best life.
Wrap-Up
I hope you enjoyed this post on how to create a career using your feminine energy! I created and continue to create mine, leading with my feminine energy first. It allows me to listen to my body and do what’s doable for me, what’s aligned for me, and what’s sustainable without having to “fit” into a system that never fit me to begin with!
Having a healthy balance of both masculine and feminine energies is a game-changer. It makes work and life so much more fulfilling, and it honors your own body’s needs. I highly recommend healing your feminine energy.
Thanks so much for reading along and listening along! I love you!
Lots of love,
