Embracing the Whole Self
Integrating logic, intuition and intellect for potent, orgasmic business growth.
This voice note was taken from a pop up audio salon I hosted in 2025.

My heart is so big for the woman who is intuitive and mystical and just very organic, grounded in the earth and her rhythms and her body and her spirituality.
But along the way of tapping deeper into that has come to feel some amount of shame around her mind, her intellect, her reason, her logic.
There's a lot of talk in women-led spaces where we are rejecting hostile culture, we're rejecting the push of capitalism, we're rejecting bro-marketing strategies, right?
But sometimes when we are going down that path, we begin to villainize anything that's not the body.
Anything that doesn't feel flowy and intuitive and soft and like it would be associated with the color pink or white, right?
But for me, I'm an engineer by degree, I'm highly analytical, I'm data-driven.
And that data, whether that data is tangible or based in my body or spiritual, right?
But data-driven and I love it.
I definitely went through my own period of that concern around and suppression of my intellect and villainizing the mind.
But I'm in this space now of truly integrating all aspects of myself and not leaning away from it.
And it's just so beautiful, the women who are in community, who are magnetized in the space.
And the same goes for you.
If your intellect and your logic and your mind, your reason, you're playing in the mystery, not just with your body and emotions, but with your mind, if you're a voracious learner, there are women, there are people out there who want that, who will come to you because of your ability to blend these often pitted against each other elements of intuition, but also logic and mind and reasoning.
So just lean into that, embrace that.
If there's any part of you really that you feel like you're villainizing, like you're ostracizing, like you're saying is not quote unquote feminine enough or not quote unquote authentic enough or X, Y, Z, like cast that aside and allow every part of you, every element, the quirky, the polished, the loud, the soft, the quiet, the direct, the indirect, let it be present and let it be as it is.
You know, you are who you are and you are a perfect blend of who you are and who you are, I'll say it for the last time, will magnetize the exact people you will love to serve.
And I know we talk about this a lot in general, authenticity, et cetera, but I really want to emphasize that around logic and your brain and that curious intellectual part of yourself.
Bring her to the table and especially bring her into your business.
We want to use our brains.
You know, I think oftentimes we ping pong between this kind of limp surrender where we just do what feels good in the moment.
We ping pong all over and then we feel the fear of not getting the results we want and then we catapult ourselves into this rigid constraint and structure and following somebody else's template.
We don't want to do that, right?
We want to get as much as we can be able to.
We want to learn how to walk that middle road of both recognizing that there is time and process and things out of our control in our spaces, right?
But yes, we are not God, right?
We can't control everything.
And then also recognizing that strategy matters and there are some things that are recommended because they do a good job and it's okay to start there and then to experiment and build off of these places.
So embrace your intellect, embrace all the different various sundry parts of yourself and invite them all to the table.
