The feminine principles of expansion, presence and soul lead living. It's a practice!

Last night at my CF Women's Circle, we explored

12 Divine Feminine Principles, the living, breathing practices that shape the way a woman moves with ease through her everyday life.

As the women spoke, I found myself reflecting on my own life and how profoundly life changes when we stop living from a place of pressure, expectation and obligation and instead we begin living from our inner fullness, the voice of our intuition and a practice of self-honour.

For 30 years, my world has revolved around personal development.

I have taught life transformation.

I have coached people into their dreams.

I have mastered how to achieve goals, how to live on purpose and how to build ambition and momentum.

And while it was powerful work,

it kept me in a state of constant forward motion

always planning, pushing, improving, achieving, performing.

Back then, the idea of living softly,

intuitively,

cyclically,

or rooted in deep inner peace felt impossible.

I was running fast and I wanted everyone to like me.

I didn't know how to slow down.

I struggled to say no.

I had no idea how I could ever change the way I lived.

The Divine Feminine doesn’t arrive in a dramatic revelation.

She arrives in tiny, practical, radical acts of self-honouring.

And that’s exactly what we spoke about last night.

We talked about the small adjustments we can make

when we begin living from the truth of our inner landscape

rather than from external expectations, pressure or survival patterns.

Things like:

✨Giving ourselves permission to nap when we’re exhausted

instead of pushing through because we “should” be productive.

✨ Not making plans out of obligation

and learning to say no without shame or explanation.

✨ Letting ourselves cancel things we never truly wanted to do

instead of forcing ourselves to show up for everyone but ourselves.

✨Choosing quiet evenings, early nights, slow mornings, warm baths as acts of replenishment not as weaknesses.

✨Plumping ourselves back up with time, joyful activity, stillness, nature and solitude before we empty, instead of waiting until burnout forces us to stop.

✨Honouring the voice within the whisper that says

“This doesn’t feel right,”

or

“I need space,”

or

“I want something different,”

or

“This is what my soul is asking for.”

✨Making decisions from desire, intuition and truth

instead of fear, guilt or people-pleasing.

✨Allowing ourselves to receive

love, help, support, nourishment, compliments

without deflecting or feeling unworthy.

✨Setting boundaries

not as a reaction,

but as a necessary structure

to protect fullness, energy and emotional wellbeing.

✨Letting ourselves be guided by our hearts’ desires

instead of our old habits, old identities or old patterns of striving.

These are the adjustments that change a woman’s life.

Small steps but revolutionary.

And as each woman shared her story last night,

I realised just how far we have all come.

We are no longer abandoning ourselves to keep the peace.

We are no longer spending time in relationships that drain us.

We are no longer saying yes to things that flatten our energy.

We are no longer performing, pleasing, pushing or proving.

We are no longer giving from empty cups.

We are beginning to live from fullness.

From self-respect.

From enough-ness.

From our inner rhythms.

From our own truth.

We are choosing rest before collapse.

We are choosing space before suffocation.

We are choosing softness before burnout.

We are choosing ourselves, not at all in a selfish way,

but in a way that keeps our cup full and overflowing.

And in doing so, something beautiful is happening:

The nervous system settles.

The breath deepens.

The intuition returns.

The heart opens.

The energy steadies.

The life-force rises.

The soul speaks.

This is not self-care.

This is self-honouring.

This is Divine Feminine living.

It’s the moment a woman stops asking,

“What more must I do?”

and begins asking,

“What would I love to do now?”

It’s the moment she stops striving to be enough

and starts realising she already is full, full of wisdom, experience, love, kindness, creativity, beauty...

It’s the moment she stops giving everything away

and starts building a life she can thrive inside.

If these words resonate with you,

you may be standing at this threshold too

ready to move from obligation into alignment,

from over-giving into self-honouring,

from exhaustion into fullness,

from striving into living fully in your enough-ness.

If you’re a coach, healer, helper, or a woman who spends her life giving…
