DO YOU, BOO!

I founded Your Recovery Project to empower, educate and help other intense & high-performing women to redefine their womanhood and step into their power. 

But for the longest time, I struggled with understanding my own femininity and where I fit on the spectrum of masculine vs. feminine. I spent the better part of my teens and early 20’s playing this narrative on a loop: To be ‘worthy’ / ‘valued’, I needed to be “masculine”: aggressive, independent, loud and always achieving. 

Here’s what I think now:

“Feminine” qualities such as empathy, stillness, playfulness and intuition are INTERCONNECTED to masculine traits. 

All these traits TRANSFORM into each other. We all embody both energies that exist within us. Sometimes, one will become more prominent than the other and that is something to appreciate. 

For those who need to hear it, you don’t need to pick and choose one over the other. There is no right norm to fall into and we all need to stop comparing ourselves to other stereotypical roles we see.

We are strong AND soft. We are competitive AND supportive. We ARE. Let’s continue to redefine what it means to be truly ourselves. #doyou

Thank you to all the womxn who have shaped my womanhood and perspective.

Cheers,

Nina
