Is your masculine energy impacting your hormones?
Throughout the day you are laser focused on your to-do list accomplishing one task after another, pushing yourself and/or others to get shit done.
You’re so busy during the day that you forget to eat or you’re rigidly following a diet plan that is not satisfying.
You pick your workouts based on your fitness goals for the month, you push to do them regardless of how you feel.
After work you just want to talk about what you accomplished that day, multi-task and make your next to-do list.
You are engaging in unhealthy behaviors like fasting or working out on an empty stomach at the expense of your health.
Things like cooking a nourishing meal for your family seems like a burden and spending time on hobbies seems like a waste of time and unproductive.
Does this sound like you? This is all too familiar to me, they don’t call me the queen of productivity for no reason. If you answered yes to most of these you are radiating masculine energy.

The constant need to get shit done and GO GO GO can lead to pushing ourselves too hard at the gym and work, skipping meals, creating poor sleep habits, and making poor food choices. This can lead to blood sugar issues, adrenal burnout and a cascade of hormonal issues.
Unfortunately, in some cases this masculine energy can make you start to ignore your menstrual cycle or want to eliminate it completely with birth control so you can keep on keeping on without discomfort or feelings.

THIS IS NOT HOW OUR PHYSIOLOGY WORKS AS WOMEN.
This is creating a disconnection to your female body.
Masculine energy makes you feel disconnected from emotions, base your worth on material success, tend to have poor communication skills to build deep relationships and makes you feel isolated and unsupported.
Feminine energy you let projects develop at a natural pace while enjoying the creative process, you love to create community and work with others, you connect to your emotions and you relate with others by listening and sharing.
The key is balancing the two, this new idea being pushed of what feminism means and the ongoing push to be the ultimate “boss babe” in competition with others has come at the consequences of our health.
