What If Empowerment Means Union Not Dominance · The Spiritual Shitshow Podcast

  Hello, and welcome back to the Spiritual Shit Show.
• 0:02
  My name is Julie Nguyen, and oh my gosh, are you feeling these deep shifts and changes?
• 0:10
  That's where I'm at, and usually when I am experiencing these things, others are too.
• 0:15
  So I hope this podcast is reaching you, and you are in a state of just deep exploration, but also feeling this fire of what empowerment feels like.
• 0:30
  If you've listened to the past episode, you'll know that I opened up a massive conversation about self-abandonment because that has been what is coming in for me so clearly.
• 0:39
  And we talked about this moment where I shared with my daughter that mommy is no longer abandoning myself, and her reaction to that was so transformative.
• 0:53
  Her reaction to that was something that I definitely did not expect, and, I'm just realizing how much I need to be in my wholeness, in my strength, in my knowing so that she can be in hers and I wanna go a little bit deeper today because when we talk about no longer abandoning ourselves as women, what we are actually talking about is something much larger than a single relationship dynamic.
• 1:25
  I know that this subject for my husband is very tricky because I feel like the past conversations of women empowerment come with man bashing, and this is not it at all.
• 1:38
  And I think that's what-- that is why I'm so curious about this topic and how it's transforming inside of me.
• 1:48
  There's a cosmic shift, and you're hearing online a lot about the rise of the divine feminine.
• 1:53
  And my husband, again, would roll his eyes and think that this is just trendy spiritual jargon or again, that type of feminism that goes with man bashing.
• 2:05
  Women can do it all, and that's not what this is.
• 2:09
  So together, let's take a deep breath, and let's try to strip away the buzzwords and talk about what this actually means, the divine feminine, why it's happening now, and most importantly, what it is not The divine feminine is not feminism.
• 2:30
  So let's address the elephant in the room right away.
• 2:32
  When people hear the words the divine feminine rising, their minds often jump straight towards modern feminism.
• 2:39
  But I wanna offer you a different perspective today.
• 2:43
  The rising of the divine feminine is not about dominance.
• 2:48
  It is about union.
• 2:51
  It is not about standing in our rage, being bitter, or hating men.
• 2:57
  If we step into our power only to point fingers, throw stones, and scream at the masculine and the patriarchy, we aren't actually operating in our true feminine power.
• 3:08
  We are just wearing a different kind of armor.
• 3:13
  We are using wounded masculine energy to fight wounded masculine energy, and as we can see by looking at the world around us, that cycle just leaves everyone exhausted and bleeding.
• 3:26
  This is not a battle of the sexes, it's a call to heal.
• 3:33
  I want you to think about this.
• 3:35
  Where are the clear models for the divine feminine?
• 3:40
  Where are the archetypes of women who are fiercely powerful, yet deeply soft?
• 3:46
  Who are unshakable in their boundaries, yet completely open-hearted?
• 3:52
  They are incredibly hard to find.
• 3:56
  And for generations, women have been told that to be successful, to be safe, and to have power, we had to mask our true essence, or we had to mask our essence in the masculine, as the masculine.
• 4:12
  We had to adopt hyper-masculine ways of being.
• 4:15
  We had to push, strive, compete, harden our edges, lock up our intuition.
• 4:21
  We thought our power lay in how well we could wear that armor So I'm over here thinking, why aren't there clear divine feminine models for us to follow right now?
• 4:32
  And the only answer I can get is because we are being asked to be them.
• 4:40
  We are being asked to create them, to feel them, to fulfill that blueprint in real time.
• 4:50
  Never underestimate the power of a woman's love.
• 4:54
  We are sacred, and as the old saying goes, we are the ones we have been waiting for.
• 5:03
  The universe is calling us to drop the armor, stop carrying the distorted masculine way of doing things, and remember who we actually are Here is the beautiful sacred truth of what is happening on a spiritual level.
• 5:19
  The divine feminine is rising so that she can stand as an equal counterpart to the divine masculine.
• 5:27
  Think about the yin and the yang.
• 5:29
  They are not in competition.
• 5:31
  One does not try to conquer the other.
• 5:33
  There are two halves of a whole dancing in perfect fluid harmony.
• 5:37
  the masculine energy in our world, have a tremendous amount of healing and heavy lifting to do right now.
• 5:44
  They also are carrying generations of pressure, suppression, and emotional exile And here's the catch.
• 5:53
  they cannot meet us in a space of healing if we are still hiding behind our armor.
• 5:59
  Whew, that one makes me take a deep breath When we abandon our boundaries, when we play small, when we pretend everything is fine while harboring quiet resentment, we deny the masculine the opportunity to step up.
• 6:16
  We deny them the chance to hold space for us, to respect us, and to meet us in our truth, our love, our intuition, and our power.
• 6:29
  This is the ultimate goal, divine union, working together in equal, respectful, and deeply loving partnership So my invitation to you today is as we close this deep dive, and I'm gonna continue to work on what this means for me I want us together to look at where we are still masking.
• 6:57
  Where are we choosing bitterness over boundaries?
• 7:02
  Choosing armor over vulnerability?
• 7:06
  And I know I am practicing not shrinking.
• 7:10
  And so the next time you feel the urge to shrink or to stay quiet or to match anger with anger, remember, you are a part of a sacred lineage that is rebuilding the balance of this world.
• 7:27
  Step into your softness.
• 7:29
  Stand in your truth.
• 7:31
  Do not be afraid of your immense loving power.
• 7:37
  We are being asked to be the living archetype of the divine feminine Thank you so much for listening to part two of this journey.
• 7:47

• 7:52
