What Is Wounded Feminine Energy?

If you’re here, maybe you’ve recently heard the words ‘divine’ and ‘wounded’ feminine energy thrown around. If you’re anything like I was, you probably had no idea these sub segments even existed!

But that’s partly because wounded feminine energy can almost feel like the norm in today’s society! As many of our societal structures were built around masculine energetic traits, many of us have strayed from our natural energy, which would be the ‘divine’ feminine energy, in order to try and fit into today’s way of working. The result? Well it can look a little like this…

Shame

Do ever feel shame or embarrassment around being sexual? Do you feel like it’s something you should hide? What about being emotional? Have you come to see that as weakness? The wounded feminine holds a lot of shame inside, not able to be fully at ease with all parts of herself.

2. Insecurity

The wounded feminine finds it hard to trust, she struggles with her self image and feelings of unworthiness. As a result, she may try to win love by people pleasing. (Been there, am I right?!)

3. Hustle & Burnout Cycles

Do you ever find yourself getting stuck in the hustle trap? If working feels more like grinding than flowing, this can be a tell tale sign. Weak work/life boundaries can also be a symptom! And as a result of this, you can often end up burnt-out or inconsistent.

4. Wounded Masculine

One of the most powerful revelations that will aid you in doing this work, is that life is always acting as our mirror! So if you find yourself attracting wounded masculine energy, this could be hinting at your own healing that needs to be done. Wounded masculine energy looks like being controlling, aggressive, guarded or flighty. It also tends to be emotionally repressive. How can I make this easier to spot for the average millenial woman? Think ghosting, gaslighting and unfaithfulness!

5. Disconnected

Do you feel disconnected from, or mistrusting of, your intuition? Do you feel unsupported, alone even, like you don't have a strong connection with anything bigger? Some choose to call this force the 'divine', God or the universe. Wounded feminine energy often causes us to shun, or just lose touch with, our connection with the divine, and the spiritual. This connection is known to be one of our greatest natural gifts!

6. External Validation

Do you find yourself seeking external validation, causing you to go after the wrong relationships and opportunities? Maybe even follow a path that doesn't fulfill you? Stuck in the cycle of trying to get approval from others, instead of trying to make yourself happy! It can also manifest as people pleasing, to put it simply, betraying your own needs in effort to be validated.

Do you relate to any of these? Do you feel like i’m looking straight into your soul? It’s because I’ve been there girl!

Carrying wounded energy is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s rarely your fault, but is just a result of your past experiences and learned behaviour. However, your healing is your responsibility. Only you can do that!

The divine feminine is; intuitive, magnetic, healing, sensual, radiant and confident

But, like many others, I was living in my wounded feminine energy for most of my life, completely unconsciously! So what led to me to this topic, and ultimately to my healing? Well, in all honestly, it took life slapping me in the face, repeatedly, trying to wake me up to the healing I needed to do, before I paid attention.

I didn’t get the subtle hints, so life brought me multiple instances of the same patterns! I attracted multiple relationships into my life with people majorly struggling with wounded masculine energy, and projecting the worst parts of that out onto me…

But we are a mirror! So until I healed, I would continue to attract wounded energy

All of this stuff; shame, insecurity, disconnection, burnout …It projected out onto my business too - but fortunately, so did my healing!

Doing this deep work helped me to attract ease & flow in my business and the divine masculine into my relationship!
