Episode 28: Not Toxic – Just Wounded: The Truth About Masculine & Feminine Energies

20 Jul 2025

Description

We’ve normalised calling everything toxic, especially when it comes to masculine and feminine energy. But what if, in many cases, what we’re labelling as toxic… is actually just wounded?In this solo episode, Belinda unpacks the real difference between toxic behaviour and wounded energy, and how those patterns play out in our relationships, parenting, leadership, and everyday life.We all carry both masculine and feminine energy within us, and yes, we all carry wounded versions of them too. That doesn’t make us bad or broken. It makes us human.This episode is a reminder that while some behaviours are harmful and need clear boundaries, not everything that hurts is abuse. And not everyone who triggers you is toxic. Sometimes… it’s just pain protecting itself.In this episode, you’ll hear:What wounded masculine and feminine energy actually looks like, and how it shows up in everyday lifeThe difference between emotional protection and toxic manipulationWhy we all carry both masculine and feminine energy, no matter our genderWhy not all triggering behaviour is toxicHow to shift from wounded to healthy energyHow childhood and nervous system patterns shape adult reactionsWays to respond, not react, and let your healthy energy leadThis conversation isn’t about labels, it’s about awareness.Because when we understand what’s underneath the behaviour, in ourselves and in others, we don’t just gain clarity. We create real change.This isn’t about excusing harmful behaviour.It’s about knowing the difference between toxic… and wounded.Podcast Sponsor:Before this podcast existed, before the name, the mic, any of it, Evolution Botanicals was already part of my daily life.
