Chapter 1: What challenges do modern women face?
Do you ever feel like you're doing so much, juggling all the things for family and house, the car and the kids and yourself too? These days, women are really stretched thin. We are often the house manager, the primary parent, and increasingly, we are also the breadwinners, holding it all together. We are the glue in our family's and in our communities being all things to everyone.
Chapter 2: Why is 'doing it all' not sustainable?
And this can take a toll on our physical health, our emotional well-being, burning out our adrenals. It causes exhaustion and creates resentment. And the truth is it also takes a toll on our appearance. It ages us. And guess what? All this do, do, doing is a highly masculine energetic state. So one of my best kept secrets to radiant youthful beauty is not a skincare routine or a magic serum.
Chapter 3: How can embracing feminine energy improve life?
It's in summoning my feminine energy. I've discovered that when I live my life and lead with my feminine energy, whether it's in my business, my personal relationships, or even in my daily life, I get more done without doing it all myself. And I'm able to be strong and powerful and fully feminine at the same time.
Chapter 4: What are the key differences between masculine and feminine energy?
I can be alpha and feminine at the same time, not giving up my productivity or my edge, but without burning out. This helps keep me looking and feeling my best. So today I'm explaining how this issue affects us women and our romantic relationships too. And I'm sharing with you six ways that I've really learned to reconnect with my feminine energy.
Chapter 5: What are the emotional and physical costs of burnout?
not just to look and feel better, but I actually achieve more. And stick around till the very end because I'm sharing one game-changing truth about masculine and feminine energy dynamics that can transform all of your relationships. Hi, it's Hillary.

Chapter 7: How can you soften your approach to life?
So I'm going to start with a quick and simple explanation of the traits of each energy just so we have a mutual understanding for our conversation. Typical masculine traits are push-oriented and fall into the realm of doing, so competing, producing, driving, asserting, proving, risk-taking, and being fast-paced. It's being goal-oriented and rational and determined and disciplined.
Typical feminine traits are receive-oriented and fall into the realm of being, so collaborating, cooperating, nourishing, creating, consensus building, emotional intelligence, sensuality as in of the senses, enhancing the self-worth of others and a relaxed pace. It's being pleasure oriented, intuitive, empathic, compassionate, vulnerable, and inclusive.
Chapter 8: What does it mean to slow down and savor the process?
You can see how the masculine traits may be perceived as more valuable or necessary for getting shit done. While the feminine can be overlooked in that regard, it may seem passive, but don't be fooled. And I'm going to talk about this at the very end.
But the truth is the most effective, dynamic, and revered women and men among us are fully integrated humans embodying both and expressing both the masculine and the feminine that is inside of all of us.
Chapter 9: How can being present in your body improve your life?
The more women exist in this masculine dominant mode, the more it takes a toll on our wellbeing, our quality of life, and it impacts the dynamics and the satisfaction in our romantic relationships and other relationships in our lives too. We end up alienating ourselves and falling into overwhelm or burnout resentment, and exhaustion.
And this masculine energy makes it very difficult to receive the very love, attention, help, support, and nurturing that we deeply desire and we crave. And the with a very important part of ourselves and our identity, a part of our being. This part of ourselves is beautiful and radiant.
And when women are nurtured and nourished and fortified and cared for, not only are we better, the world is a much better place. And ironically, we end up getting even more done and accomplished without having to do it all ourselves, believe it or not. And that's what I'm going to share with you at the very end.
It all starts with us learning how to do this for ourselves so that we can consciously shift into and out of each mode at will. And that will allow our friends and our family and our romantic partners the space they need to show up for us as we do for them. which is why the feminine energy becomes a regenerative source. It's a life-giving source.
In the last couple of years, I've really focused on reclaiming and reconnecting with my feminine energy because I felt out of balance and out of whack and burned out completely. And so these are just some of the things that I think about and do on a daily basis. to stay connected to and inside of and in the realm of my feminine energy.
If you're feeling a bit unbalanced and out of flow, just pick one or two of these to start focusing on. It's not about adding yet another thing to your to-do list. It's about actually downshifting so you can do less and enjoy more. So the first thing is my favorite, and that is to soften
It's a cue word for me, and it reminds me to get into the state of being that for me is more relaxed, trusting, believing, allowing, opening, and receiving. Can you feel that? It feels nice, doesn't it? So I have a mental and emotional and a physical response to this word. Just saying it can immediately shift me there.

Chapter 10: What are the benefits of learning to receive without feeling weak?
This is as opposed to resisting, defending, proving, pushing, guarding, which is like a super stiff, rigid mental and emotional state of being. So soften yourself. You don't need all of that external push because your masculine energy is really there for you if you ever really need it in a flash. You don't need to lead with it.
You can move through the world with this softness as your primary state and understand it doesn't make you weak or defenseless. You're not risking anything. You're not putting yourself in danger in any way. Softening simply allows you to be in your feminine, which is being more open to experiencing all the infinite possibilities available to you. So say this word to yourself.
and see how your body responds. See how your shoulders drop and you just release the need to control and be on guard. See how you can immediately feel more feminine within yourself. You'll notice how you walk and move differently too. Soften, often. So next, I have intentionally slowed down. I've always been a fast mover.
I walk fast, think fast, talk fast, make decisions fast, and I admit I drive fast. I even used to eat fast, and it feels really good to only walk fast when I need to or when I'm exercising. And I still have a lot of things to accomplish each day, but rushing around in a mad frenzy to get as much done as possible is a very masculine vibe.
So rather than rushing around from thing to thing, I'm intentionally giving myself grace and space, allowing more time to get things done. I'm still an action taker and highly productive. but the pressure is off. I don't have to be uber productive to feel good about myself. And how I do things is more important than just doing it. This is the shift away from the doing and more into the being.
I'm focusing on allowing myself to enjoy the process rather than focusing on just achieving the goal. I've always been pretty goal-oriented, only allowing myself to be happy or joyful or excited or feeling fortified or feeling fulfilled when I cross that finish line and achieve the goal and cross off my things on my to-do list, rather than being process-oriented, which is more feminine.
So now I'm just really focusing on the process, Slowing down gives me time to notice, observe, and witness the small moments along the way to the goal. Those are the moments that I might have missed when I'm hyper-focused on just getting things done. And this allows me to have way more pleasure in my life.
So an example is I leave my phone at home when I'm walking my dog, and I enjoy her and the scenery rather than just texting and messaging and working while I'm walking. I often pause my workout just to notice and appreciate the gorgeous sunrise coming through the glass wall of windows at my gym.
I've started taking the time to chat with the early morning regulars at the gym who feel like friends and family in a way because we see each other almost every day rather than just being all business and getting my workout in and leaving. I've allowed more time to for that to happen if I want it to. Taking the time for this connection has added so much joy to my life.
