#027 - What Makes Matriarchal Leadership So Powerful?💖✨ · Beyond Sovereignty

• 0:00
  If you say something that triggers or offends anybody on
• 0:03
  social media, you can go to jail for three years. Sounds very patriarchal. It's
• 0:07
  modern day slavery at its best. The patriarchal model is all
• 0:10
  about individual gains and greed. That is literally f***ing our planet, f***ing
• 0:14
  individuals. So if we can tune into our innate feminine
• 0:18
  wisdom and use this as part of the leadership
• 0:22
  and the leaders around the world, then this would have massive gains to
• 0:25
  you. I'm so empowered in my business. I am so strong. I'm so confident. Amazing.
• 0:29
  Well, let me ask you this. Welcome Wisdom Keepers,
• 0:33
  Soul Tribe and New Earth Leaders to Soul Temple, your haven
• 0:36
  for growth and self-discovery. I am Blythe Langford
• 0:40
  and I'm going to be your guide to helping you find yourself and
• 0:44
  your true purpose. Together, let's shift from feeling stuck
• 0:48
  and misaligned to living a life of purpose and
• 0:52
  pleasure and prosperity. Today, we
• 0:55
  are talking about matriarchal leadership. And
• 1:00
  I'm really excited to bring a different point of view to this
• 1:04
  because people can be like, what do you mean the world would
• 1:07
  go nowhere with matriarchal leadership? It means that we're going to be all soft and
• 1:10
  flowy and creative and not doing anything or getting anything
• 1:14
  done. When in actual fact is the complete opposite.
• 1:18
  A woman in her power or matriarchal power is
• 1:22
  fierce yet soft, bold and strong and
• 1:26
  assertive, but supportive and nurturing. So
• 1:29
  I personally, it would be so beneficial to our world if
• 1:33
  we could step away from dictatorship style
• 1:37
  of leadership and come back more into a feminine flow of
• 1:40
  the matriarch and supportive of
• 1:45
  all individuals and supportive of the planet as
• 1:48
  well because I truly believe that our dictatorship patriarchal
• 1:53
  model has actually caused so much greed and
• 1:56
  harm to our planet and to individuals and
• 2:00
  to the human spirit. So we're going to be talking about different
• 2:03
  things to do with the matriarch today. We're going to be talking about matriarchal
• 2:07
  leadership principles, qualities of the matriarch, shifting from
• 2:11
  the patriarch and dictatorship to
• 2:14
  divine leadership, from forced to fierce flow.
• 2:18
  And I'm going to talk to you about modern day matriarchs as well, because I think that's
• 2:21
  really interesting to see different societies that are actually doing that. I
• 2:24
  was fascinated by this. And how it can be benefit for you, to your
• 2:28
  business, and to our planet. So I
• 2:31
  really wanted to share on this topic specifically because of my own
• 2:34
  change and shift within my businesses because I was
• 2:38
  really masculine in my businesses in my leadership when
• 2:42
  I first started because I thought you needed to be really strong and powerful
• 2:45
  and fierce and fiery. And we also have
• 2:48
  a lot of flies around today so excuse me while I might be not so vegan and
• 2:52
  kill things. It was just a huge shift to me and I wanted to just really
• 2:55
  bring this to light. A lot of women in leadership also feel
• 2:58
  like they are very masculine in their approach to business and
• 3:03
  not sure how to come into their feminine leadership. Or
• 3:07
  similarly men are feeling like they're very much a dictator
• 3:11
  but they want to also bring in their feminine essence so they can be more embodied as
• 3:15
  leaders. That's why I wanted to share about
• 3:18
  this topic because I feel like it is beneficial to men and women, to
• 3:21
  business, to home life, and then also to our society at large.
• 3:25
  And of course, most importantly to me, Mother Earth.
• 3:30
  So here's the difference that I learnt about myself,
• 3:34
  about my freedom and the impact on my teams, my clients and
• 3:38
  also most importantly in a business, the profit margins as well.
• 3:42
  So embodying the matriarch in leadership to me means embracing
• 3:46
  deep instinctual qualities of feminine
• 3:49
  divinity that centre around care, collaboration and
• 3:53
  wisdom. Because, unlike the patriarch leadership
• 3:56
  models that prioritise control and dominance and
• 4:00
  individualisation, and that's what we know, right? That's what we know
• 4:03
  and a lot of us have been brought up that way, whether we went to public
• 4:08
  schools or schools in the system, we've all been
• 4:11
  brought up in a patriarchal society that has us being
• 4:15
  controlled from a top-down leadership so that we're always in
• 4:18
  a submissive position. And that's how we tend
• 4:22
  to run our business as well, where we are that top-down leader
• 4:26
  that is controlling, telling everybody what to do, and
• 4:29
  it really doesn't embrace the creativity within
• 4:33
  our teams, our individual staff members, and that also ripples
• 4:36
  through into our clients. We're not actually empowering our
• 4:39
  team and we really lose that creative flow because when
• 4:43
  we are coming from a matriarch, the duality of
• 4:47
  embodying the masculine and the feminine, they're sacred, rather
• 4:50
  than in their juvenile or their toxic stance, we
• 4:54
  actually allow the people around us, our
• 4:57
  teams, to step up and be creative and
• 5:01
  not be scared to actually use their
• 5:06
  intuition, not scared to make mistakes, not scared to take
• 5:10
  risks. And that's what really creates empowered team
• 5:14
  members. And that's what creates freedom for you as the business owner.
• 5:17
  Because when your team are in this space, then they can really step
• 5:21
  up. And it means that you can step out of the business more and have more freedom
• 5:24
  to do whatever the fuck you want. So I want to touch on qualities of
• 5:28
  the matriarchal leadership. So the first one is
• 5:31
  integrity. And this word has been thrown around so much,
• 5:35
  especially in my companies where I used to
• 5:38
  work, billion dollar brands, that really
• 5:41
  threw around this word integrity a lot. And I find that the people that
• 5:45
  throw around the word integrity, oh my gosh, this is too touche, are
• 5:48
  the ones that really lack integrity. Or the ones that throw around the word sovereignty
• 5:52
  are the ones that are most not sovereign in their lives. So
• 5:55
  yes, the words that we are trying to embody and embrace
• 5:59
  are generally the ones that we struggle with the most. So for me, integrity means
• 6:03
  being true to your word, true to your values, no matter what. Now,
• 6:07
  that does not mean that you say you're going to do something and then you show up
• 6:10
  for that no matter what, even if it kills you. It means tuning into what's right
• 6:13
  for you, the community, and the collective. If you have to honor yourself in
• 6:17
  that moment and what you agreed to in the past isn't continuing
• 6:20
  to be aligned, then you step into your truth because that
• 6:24
  is integrity. I know a lot of entrepreneurs are like, no, fuck, that's not what
• 6:27
  it is. Integrity means keeping to your word no matter what, keeping
• 6:30
  to your word even if it's like, against alignment with
• 6:34
  your soul, that to me is very patriarchal and
• 6:38
  I'm talking about being intuitive and being in our matriarchal flow,
• 6:42
  which is the divinity of the masculine and the feminine. Not needing to
• 6:45
  stick to our word no matter what. We're not in a war against ourselves or
• 6:49
  against anybody else. We're talking about life and being in flow and allowing
• 6:52
  intuitiveness to flow into us so that we align more
• 6:56
  deeply with our actions and with our values. So,
• 7:00
  back to integrity. This creates trust. It
• 7:04
  fosters a strong ethical foundation in any community or
• 7:07
  organization, which I really noticed for myself. I always
• 7:11
  used to be in patriarchal integrity, which
• 7:14
  was, I'm going to stick to my word no matter what, and I would show up no matter
• 7:18
  what. And it was not the best in alignment with my
• 7:21
  morals and my values and what I stood for. And when I started to
• 7:24
  shift, and it really was abrasive to my team, it
• 7:28
  was abrasive to people, Because people can tell when you don't want to fucking be
• 7:31
  there, but you're showing up because you're like, I want to stick to my word, because I'm all about my word.
• 7:34
  Okay, cool. It's not 1942. We're not in a gunfight. Let's
• 7:39
  move on and actually be in alignment with our soul, the planet, and energy, because
• 7:43
  that is what is life force, right? That's
• 7:47
  the huge difference when we're going from patriarchal integrity to
• 7:53
  matriarchal integrity. We're actually in alignment with our soul and our
• 7:56
  spirit all the time, and it's actually what's going to be in greatest service for
• 7:59
  us and the people around us most. And of course, that
• 8:03
  filters through to our business, our organization, our teams, and
• 8:06
  our clients, and to our profit margins. Now,
• 8:10
  the second matriarchal piece
• 8:13
  of wisdom that I think is there, well, matriarchal quality is
• 8:17
  wisdom. Divine wisdom. The
• 8:21
  matriarch draws on her life experience because she's a
• 8:24
  little bit older in her energy. Not
• 8:28
  necessarily in her age, but in her energy. She's able to
• 8:31
  draw on that ancestral knowledge, that ancestral wisdom to
• 8:35
  make informed decisions that benefit the collective rather
• 8:38
  than focusing on short-term or individual gains and greed. Now,
• 8:43
  Let me know if that resonates for you because so many people
• 8:47
  are all about, or the patriarchal model is all about individual
• 8:51
  gains and greed, all about short-term focus that is literally fucking
• 8:54
  our planet, fucking individuals, and breaking
• 8:58
  down family units, breaking down businesses. Look
• 9:02
  at how much tax you pay in your business. Is that sustainable? Is
• 9:05
  that ethical of somebody that is supposed
• 9:09
  to be supporting you when they take that much money out of your hard earnings to
• 9:13
  put into corporations that are not in alignment with serving
• 9:17
  the greater good of humanity, that are not in alignment with serving the
• 9:20
  greater good of this planet. It is a greed model that
• 9:24
  has a trajectory of this planet and humanity living
• 9:28
  only 80 years. Here in the country, we literally have to pay like four or
• 9:31
  six grand every quarter just to get our trash taken away. And
• 9:34
  then what do they do with it? They put it in the earth. Like, it's
• 9:38
  just an unsustainable model. How are we in 2024 where
• 9:42
  we haven't figured out a way for better waste control and
• 9:45
  waste management? Like even in my salons back in the day, we
• 9:49
  had 10 different bins and we would recycle everything. There
• 9:52
  was no waste, you know, and I
• 9:55
  just don't understand how we as a society whilst
• 9:59
  we're killing our countries and our water and our planet literally
• 10:03
  have not even figured out the most simple of things like what we do with our waste. It's
• 10:07
  such a patriarchal corporation model
• 10:11
  of greed that has no intelligence, no intellect behind
• 10:15
  it. Because if anybody was to think about 50 years in
• 10:18
  the future, even just 50 years, they'd realize, oh shit.
• 10:23
  We killed everything. We can't live on this planet. The
• 10:26
  moon's barren as fuck. How are we actually going to enjoy living
• 10:29
  there? Because, you know, people are like, we'll just move to the moon or Mars. Those planets are so
• 10:33
  barren. So if we can tune into our innate feminine
• 10:37
  wisdom and use this as part of the leadership
• 10:41
  and the leaders around the world, then this would have massive gains to
• 10:45
  not only us, but future generations, and then also the sustainability of
• 10:48
  the life of this planet. Now, the number three key
• 10:52
  trait of matriarchal leadership, I personally believe,
• 10:56
  is intuition. Intuition is the
• 11:00
  guiding foresight on everything. Whether you're male, female,
• 11:04
  alien, whatever, it is the most important thing to
• 11:07
  be able to tune into our intuition. The reason that
• 11:10
  we find tuning into our intuition so hard is
• 11:13
  because we've grown up through the patriarchal system in school
• 11:17
  systems, that were created by the Rockefellers because
• 11:20
  they literally wanted slaves in factory work. And
• 11:24
  that's what every single one of us has been mentally manipulated and
• 11:28
  programmed into being, a slave-based worker,
• 11:32
  where we will do what we say, be able to regurgitate information, and
• 11:36
  not actually use our intuition. Mate, it's the same
• 11:39
  as the cows over here. As soon as one of the cows is born and they try
• 11:43
  to get out of the paddock, they're like, oh, that's a bad cow. It's not doing what I say.
• 11:46
  It's like, yeah, because it's not so docile as fuck. And it's
• 11:49
  not. going along with the pack, it's actually using
• 11:53
  its innate wisdom to realise, I'm stuck
• 11:56
  here. I'm actually going to die. They want
• 12:00
  to kill me. I don't want to grow up like this. I'm
• 12:03
  going to choose a different way for myself and my family, and I'm
• 12:06
  going to escape. And they're like, this dumb cow. It's like, it's probably the smartest one
• 12:10
  in the pack. It's the same as us. As soon as we're doing something that's
• 12:13
  come a little bit out of the system, that's it, kill the motherfucker, put him
• 12:16
  in jail. Like, literally there has been a law
• 12:20
  passed in Queensland that if you
• 12:23
  say something that triggers or offends anybody, and
• 12:27
  that can be somebody that is completely mentally ill, if you say anything
• 12:30
  that triggers anybody on social media, you can
• 12:33
  go to jail for three years. You can go
• 12:37
  to jail for upsetting anybody
• 12:41
  by what you say on social media. Sounds pretty top-down leadership to
• 12:44
  me. Sounds like there is no freedom of speech. sounds
• 12:48
  very patriarchal, you better get back in your box and not say anything that's
• 12:52
  going to upset anybody ever, sounds like
• 12:55
  you cannot use your intuition. Sounds like you need to go back to
• 12:59
  being a slave. Because that's what it is, it's modern day slavery at
• 13:02
  its best. So, if our leaders
• 13:06
  are, gives me goosebumps too, if our leaders are
• 13:10
  projecting this model and penetrating this model into
• 13:13
  society, then what are the outcomes
• 13:18
  of this for not only ourselves, but our children, when
• 13:22
  we can't actually say the things that are really important to us.
• 13:26
  It's actually gotten to the point where people that are mentally ill
• 13:30
  have the ability to have us suppress our
• 13:34
  thoughts and our emotions. Wow. What
• 13:37
  a world. What are we stepping into? What did we sign up
• 13:41
  to? What are we continuing to sign up to that breeds
• 13:44
  this? So, you can see
• 13:48
  that when we don't use our intuition, crazy
• 13:52
  shit in this world happens. And it can be so risky
• 13:56
  not to trust our intuitive guidance that is connected to
• 13:59
  the oneness of all, that is literally Source itself working
• 14:03
  through us in an instinctive way that actually creates
• 14:07
  these triggers so people can grow through where they
• 14:11
  are stuck. Because if somebody is mentally ill and they're triggered, amazing!
• 14:15
  You're welcome! Let's use this trigger and grow through it because it's
• 14:18
  obviously a part of you that is unhealed and inside of
• 14:21
  you that really gets to come out and be seen and expressed and
• 14:25
  embodied rather than continuing to be suppressed
• 14:29
  and keeping us mentally and physically and emotionally and
• 14:33
  financially broke, right? Because so
• 14:37
  many of us are broke as fuck spiritually, financially,
• 14:41
  energetically, all of the things, and mentally as
• 14:45
  well. So it's really important that we're able to bring
• 14:48
  this intuition and this guidance back into
• 14:52
  our everyday lives and use that instead
• 14:55
  of this top-down slavery model that has us programmed
• 14:59
  mentally, that is literally our guiding force at the moment. Like, we
• 15:03
  are so disattached or so disassociated from
• 15:06
  our innate guidance, our innate intuition, that
• 15:10
  the program of our schooling system, which was modern-day
• 15:14
  slavery, is literally what is the guiding force in
• 15:19
  our lives, which is keeping us numb, sick,
• 15:22
  stuck, and killing our planet and killing our future generations.
• 15:26
  Now, the fourth matriarchal quality, I personally believe, is
• 15:30
  ethics. Yum. Turn me on with a
• 15:33
  word. I personally believe matriarchal leaders
• 15:37
  prioritise ethical choices because they
• 15:40
  are sustainable for both people, individuals, communities,
• 15:44
  the planet, all creatures and beings. So
• 15:47
  when we embody ethics, we often ensure
• 15:51
  that resources are used responsibly and that every
• 15:54
  action contributes to the greater good. Now, I remember
• 15:58
  when I was in primary school, ethics was actually a class instead
• 16:01
  of going to religion. It only lasted for a few years before the public
• 16:05
  schooling system shut it down in a lot of places because it was too controversial
• 16:08
  to have people actually embodying ethics. You cannot
• 16:12
  care for other people. I was literally put into therapy by
• 16:16
  my parents when I was 13 or 14 because I cared
• 16:19
  too much about my brothers and sisters who were younger than me. I
• 16:22
  cared too much about them like a matriarchal Leader
• 16:26
  would, and they put me into therapy because that was abnormal to actually
• 16:30
  care that much. Oh my God, what is this world that we live in? So
• 16:34
  I'm just putting that out there because we are just suppressing
• 16:37
  this divinity that is within all of us because we all have
• 16:41
  the desire to care for other beings. That's why when we were kids and we'd watch
• 16:44
  something on the TV, an advertisement about animals
• 16:47
  or about these kids in poverty, we'd cry. And often our
• 16:51
  parents or people around us would laugh. They're like, oh, you're so emotional. No,
• 16:54
  you're literally watching somebody suffering. Of course it's emotional
• 16:58
  and it's a lot. And anybody
• 17:02
  that has any ethical stance or bone in their body would
• 17:05
  care. But we have been numbed out of caring so much. So
• 17:09
  if we can bring our ethical resources and our ethical guidance
• 17:13
  back in, then that's what could change everything in a heartbeat. Because
• 17:16
  poverty in this planet could literally change in six months if
• 17:20
  we actually used matriarchal intuition.
• 17:24
  I hope you are loving this episode but I'm just giving it a pause
• 17:28
  here because I want to tell you about a really amazing masterclass I
• 17:31
  have. It's totally free. We'll pop it in the show notes below. It goes through a
• 17:35
  really cool soul activation so that you can get to the depths of
• 17:38
  your purpose and also help you uncover why you're here
• 17:42
  on this planet, what you're really passionate about, go through how to
• 17:45
  create a blueprint, how you can actually action that into the
• 17:48
  world. So I highly recommend you looking out for this masterclass. It's
• 17:52
  called Missions for Millions, and it will allow you to go to greater depths
• 17:55
  within your soul, within your spirit, within your life, all of the things. It's yummy, so
• 17:59
  get on it, guys. Back to the episode. I hope you are loving it.
• 18:02
  The number five quality for matriarchal leadership, I personally believe, is
• 18:05
  sustainability. These leaders think long term, working towards
• 18:09
  a future plan for where the community is going to thrive without having
• 18:13
  to deplete the natural world. It's literally what I'm doing on my land.
• 18:16
  So decisions that are made not just for profit or immediate gains, but
• 18:20
  for long lasting impact on future generations. So
• 18:23
  as I've said, what I want to do on my land is I've looked into
• 18:27
  creating a free energy water device so that I'm not using solar
• 18:31
  panels because the batteries have lots of lithium in them and they don't
• 18:34
  break down and just creates more waste in the world. I want
• 18:37
  to use water. Because water heals everything! This
• 18:40
  is what I thought about. How cool is this? Okay, so I'm going to create a waterfall because
• 18:44
  I have really big hills here. The water would literally go through this wheel
• 18:47
  and over time it would create energy and governments are already using this. They just
• 18:51
  don't tell you that their whole city is being energized by
• 18:54
  water. So there's so many ways that you can set these things up
• 18:58
  and if you're doing it yourself then they can be really inexpensive or
• 19:02
  you can find people that have these devices already made as well. But, you
• 19:05
  know, try things out yourself. I have just been researching this
• 19:08
  myself for quite a few years. I used to have a friend, Nate, you're
• 19:12
  a legend, who used to have his
• 19:15
  car powered on water. People do this all the time. It's just that it's
• 19:18
  illegal because it's free. The governments wouldn't
• 19:21
  make any money if everybody was running their cars off water, right?
• 19:25
  There's literally a woman in Africa, in South Africa, that created a
• 19:29
  free energy device just off air. The air turns into
• 19:33
  condensation in this box, and then the condensation literally
• 19:38
  comes down, falls down, and because that's gravity-fed, that literally
• 19:42
  creates enough force for this machine, this device, to create energy
• 19:45
  and power their entire house or their community. It's
• 19:49
  amazing what's out there. These ethical decisions are
• 19:53
  really matriarchal in their approach or divine
• 19:57
  in their approach, whether they're matriarchal or a divine masculine.
• 20:01
  It's that culmination and that perfect duality
• 20:05
  of care and sustainability and ethics within us.
• 20:09
  that really will help change this planet forever. Now, the sixth
• 20:13
  quality of matriarchal leadership is liberation. Oh my
• 20:16
  gosh, these words, do they just turn you on? Because liberation turns
• 20:20
  me on so much. So true matriarchal leadership involves
• 20:25
  liberation of others. And this provides the autonomy and
• 20:28
  the empowerment of individuals to be their best selves
• 20:31
  whilst they contribute to the collective success. and
• 20:35
  fuck yes, don't we want that? To be able to be fully
• 20:38
  embracing all parts of ourselves, all of the ickiness, all
• 20:42
  of the amazing parts, learning and growing from ourselves so that we can be part
• 20:46
  of bettering the planet and bettering all those
• 20:49
  people that we love around us. These qualities are
• 20:52
  what help us shift from the dictator, patriarchal model
• 20:57
  of society to the supportive, nurturing, matriarchal
• 21:01
  that empowers and uplifts. And this changes and
• 21:05
  allows our leaders to develop stronger, more meaningful connections
• 21:08
  with their teams, their communities. And then if leaders do
• 21:12
  want to lead with the people that they're leading as well, so
• 21:15
  that they don't have to just choose the best of a bad bunch, but you've actually got
• 21:19
  people behind you that fucking become like
• 21:23
  Like how at old school used to be, you know, they would fight to the death for you
• 21:27
  because they believe so much in what your mission and
• 21:30
  your statement and your ethics and your sustainability and all of
• 21:34
  these amazing models are all about. So once we step back into that
• 21:37
  softness and that fierceness of the matriarch that isn't
• 21:40
  afraid to stand firm in her decisions and is able to
• 21:46
  go from that place of wisdom and nurturing rather than aggression and
• 21:49
  abrasiveness, then she balances out that strength with
• 21:52
  empathy, embodies a powerful mix of assertiveness and
• 21:55
  caringness, and then is able to benefit the immediate circle
• 21:59
  but also the broader society. Now, why I
• 22:03
  personally think this would be beneficial for our world is society
• 22:07
  has been operating so long under
• 22:10
  this patriarchal society. It's so suppressive.
• 22:14
  This leadership often results in imbalances in the environment.
• 22:18
  It disenfranchises the vulnerable. Look at the vulnerable
• 22:21
  on our planet, how much they're suffering, as if this model is
• 22:24
  supporting them at all. It's divide and conquer,
• 22:28
  separate, individualize, and have people hating on each other and
• 22:31
  continuing to be in war, promoting individualization over
• 22:35
  community well-being. So the matriarchal model offers radical alternative,
• 22:39
  one that is really restoring the balance of the individual of
• 22:43
  the collective of the planet and all creatures and beings so
• 22:46
  that we can come back into this divine union because we
• 22:49
  are all one here on this planet. Our human race is
• 22:53
  one. We're the only race on this planet that
• 22:57
  thinks we aren't connected. And that's because of
• 23:00
  this top-down patriarchal leadership. So once we can remember
• 23:04
  and be awakened to the fact that fuck we're one human
• 23:08
  race oh my god i've always been trying to find the difference between us rather
• 23:11
  than actually seeing the beauty in the resonance between us
• 23:15
  we can come back into that heart-centered love connection within each
• 23:19
  individual It's so matriarchal, like
• 23:22
  so many mothers literally say to me, you don't know what it's like to actually love
• 23:26
  somebody so much you would kill for them. I'm like, yeah, I do
• 23:29
  because I'd be like that with all of my friends, my dog, my family.
• 23:33
  Like I've had that ever since I was a child and people just think
• 23:36
  that I'm abnormal, but it's because I embody matriarchal
• 23:42
  qualities. And that's what all of us have inside of
• 23:45
  us. And from that experience, we can paradigm shift this
• 23:48
  world. And for men, it's so important for
• 23:52
  matriarchal leadership to be an everyday embodiment for
• 23:55
  you as well, rather than you coming from that top-down leadership where
• 23:59
  you're actually pushing your team, your clients, your
• 24:02
  loved ones away. It actually allows you to embrace that
• 24:06
  feminine fierceness within you that encourages you and
• 24:09
  your community and your loved ones to be vulnerable, to embrace collaboration
• 24:14
  and empathy. It allows you to tune into your intuitive guidance
• 24:18
  which turns you the fuck on without sacrificing your
• 24:21
  strength. It actually allows you to be more autonomous in
• 24:24
  your approach and actually empowers your
• 24:28
  masculinity connected with your femininity and
• 24:32
  rather than seeing anything as opposite, seeing them as the complete
• 24:36
  wholeness within you that is the environment around
• 24:39
  you. So for the planet, this type of
• 24:42
  leadership could lead to more sustainable choices, respecting
• 24:47
  the Earth's natural rhythms and cycles, which
• 24:50
  is no different to the natural rhythms and cycles that are within us.
• 24:53
  So like most indigenous matriarchal societies have
• 24:57
  done for centuries, and they still exist, we've got the
• 25:00
  Indians. Now, I don't know, I'm really bad with pronunciation, so
• 25:04
  I do apologize for my Aussie terrible pronunciations,
• 25:08
  but the matriarchal societies that are still thriving right
• 25:11
  now, I'm going to just take you through five. There is India
• 25:16
  Karthi tribe. Now these women are known for their
• 25:19
  matriarchal system where these women inherit property. These
• 25:23
  tribes women live in the mountains and it's a strong community that
• 25:26
  bonds and empowers women to hold on to leadership positions within
• 25:30
  their community. And it also is one where it's not
• 25:34
  a tribe where these women are actually in
• 25:38
  divine union with one particular man. It allows for
• 25:43
  polyamory. It's a community that actually thrives through
• 25:47
  this and the women actually birth their babies together and
• 25:51
  the men and the fathers of their children
• 25:55
  actually become uncles. So it just creates a lot more flow and
• 25:58
  diversity within this community. It's really fascinating so go and
• 26:02
  look it up. Now another beautiful tribe is China's Mosu
• 26:07
  people. This society has been known for its matriarchal structure where
• 26:10
  women lead families and economic decisions, fostering a
• 26:13
  deep respect for maternal roles and feminine authority. And
• 26:18
  this community really thrives, so look them up too. Now
• 26:21
  this name, the third one, really has got me, but it's Indonesia's Minangkabool,
• 26:28
  I apologize, people. The largest matriarchal society in
• 26:31
  our present world, where female control the land, the wealth, and
• 26:35
  promoting a balanced form of leadership that prioritizes sustainability and
• 26:39
  communal well-being. Turn me on anymore. Got goosebumps.
• 26:43
  Fucking love that. Yes, sisters. And number four is
• 26:47
  Ghana's Akan people. Their matriarchal structure enforces
• 26:51
  and ensures that women hold significant influence in decision-making
• 26:56
  daily, particularly regarding family and community matters.
• 27:00
  And number five is Costa Rica's Bribri people. Now,
• 27:03
  this society highlights that female leadership can actually be an integral
• 27:07
  part to preservation of culture, as well as
• 27:10
  the environment, as these women are literally stewards of the
• 27:13
  land, which is what I feel like I am, is a steward of
• 27:17
  the land. I'm not an owner, I'm a steward. And this allows
• 27:21
  us to go back to this utopian vision for building
• 27:25
  a better future. Now the reason that I brought up these five tribes
• 27:29
  is because these are societies that exist now.
• 27:33
  They've been existing for who knows how long
• 27:36
  the earth has been around with these women there. And it
• 27:39
  works for everybody. It allows men to be in
• 27:43
  their divine masculine whilst these women are in their divine feminine
• 27:47
  as well. So it actually creates so much more freedom and
• 27:51
  and joy and pleasure for everybody involved. There
• 27:54
  isn't these pressures of societal norms that we have
• 27:58
  in the West. And these communities are thriving. These
• 28:02
  communities function so much
• 28:05
  better. And when you actually look into it, they're
• 28:09
  not suffering mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially.
• 28:13
  They're not suffering with role
• 28:17
  identity issues. They're not suffering with children being
• 28:21
  brought up in environments where they're outside of
• 28:24
  a supportive family unit. Things are done differently. There
• 28:28
  is wealth there because it's passed down generationally. and
• 28:32
  it's made sure that it is passed down so that everybody benefits,
• 28:36
  the men, the women, the children. So I just think there is so much
• 28:39
  to learn from these Indigenous cultures that have been running this
• 28:42
  way for centuries. And what's not to say that most Indigenous cultures
• 28:46
  ran this way, but because a lot of those cultures have
• 28:50
  been taken over by the patriarch and then shifted their role models of
• 28:53
  the world, they have broken down the original matriarch
• 28:59
  in all Indigenous cultures. And that's why to us it is so foreign,
• 29:03
  yet it is every Indigenous cultures, I'm just saying
• 29:06
  this, it's not true, I'm just saying this that it could potentially be
• 29:09
  true, that every Indigenous culture was potentially a
• 29:12
  more matriarchal society. Think about it. They
• 29:16
  had queens, they had priestesses. It was only when kings
• 29:19
  came in, like there was priestesses and kings and queens, they
• 29:23
  worked together in a symbionic relationship. You
• 29:26
  know, I only believe that possibly it's been in
• 29:29
  the last few thousand years where things have slipped over to the matriarch. Whereas
• 29:34
  prior to that, it was more matriarchal because women were
• 29:37
  the ones that created birth. Absolutely, men were the ones
• 29:40
  that seeded the birth, but everything worked in harmony. So
• 29:43
  I just put that there as a little bit of, what do you think about that?
• 29:47
  Like, can you tune into that? Like, what does that feel like to you? And
• 29:51
  with this knowledge and wisdom, don't you think that matriarchal
• 29:56
  leadership could be beneficial to our planet and to society. Can
• 29:59
  you like literally imagine a society where leadership is
• 30:03
  collective, instinctual, assertive, one where it's
• 30:07
  like the beautiful care of Mother Earth, a mother extends her
• 30:11
  helping hand to everybody around them. This would shift
• 30:15
  not only our businesses and our community, but planetary healing,
• 30:18
  creating a world that thrives on mutual respect and
• 30:22
  shared responsibility. And this is literally what
• 30:25
  I create within my programs, I personally believe. One
• 30:29
  where I am able to support women one-on-one to come back to
• 30:33
  their sacred, what I call it, is to come
• 30:36
  back to building utopia within and externally. It's sacred
• 30:40
  women's business. One where you can come back into nurturing
• 30:44
  your self-worth, nurturing your femininity, remembering what
• 30:47
  it feels like to be a feminine embodied leader whilst
• 30:52
  embracing your masculine flow too because we just want divine
• 30:55
  union within you and that really comes from empowerment because
• 31:00
  many women are like, I'm super empowered by it, I'm so empowered in my business, I
• 31:03
  am so strong, I am so confident. Amazing, well let
• 31:06
  me ask you this, what would you be like if you didn't have the Botox? What
• 31:10
  would you be like if you didn't have that glass of wine every night to numb out? What
• 31:14
  would you be like or what would it feel like if you weren't able to
• 31:17
  have a shopping spree every week? All of these are literally
• 31:21
  forms of numbing out and avoiding who you are at
• 31:24
  your core. Because if you are worthy, you love yourself no
• 31:28
  matter what, no matter how you show up. A beautiful sister said
• 31:31
  to me this week, she's like, breasts implants can be so empowering
• 31:35
  for women. Absolutely, if they don't have another way
• 31:38
  of empowering themselves, then they will go into cosmetic
• 31:42
  surgery as a way to help themselves feel worthy. But
• 31:46
  that's not their natural state of being. Let's fall in love with our natural
• 31:49
  state of being and who we are, because we want
• 31:53
  to be able to grow up. We don't want to be frozen in a
• 31:56
  moment in time where we are a juvenile woman.
• 32:00
  In order to be an embodied matriarch, we have to grow up
• 32:03
  and absorb and incorporate all
• 32:07
  the wisdom that we have learnt throughout our lives. And
• 32:11
  that doesn't happen in our 20s. So why do we want to be frozen in
• 32:14
  this moment in time where we look like we're 20? It's inorganic
• 32:18
  and it's unnatural. So if that's something that's triggering
• 32:21
  you, amazing. Because that's a little part
• 32:25
  of you that is, or maybe a big part of you that feels unworthy to
• 32:29
  be your organic state, to be in your divine femininity, to
• 32:32
  actually step into matriarchal embodiment
• 32:37
  and leadership. And so if that is something that
• 32:40
  you want to step into, then reach out, tune in, book
• 32:44
  a call with me, because then we can actually go through where there
• 32:48
  are areas in your life that you potentially can step
• 32:51
  into growth, that you can actually step into greater depths
• 32:55
  of worthiness, that you can actually step into greater feminine
• 33:00
  leadership, where you can actually go from being the bottleneck in your business to
• 33:04
  being liberated and liberating those
• 33:08
  team members in your business as well so that you can step into pure
• 33:12
  leadership that is expansive and freeing for
• 33:15
  not only you, yourself, your clients, your team, but
• 33:19
  also for your profit margins as well. So I hope this episode not
• 33:23
  only triggered you in many areas because these triggers
• 33:27
  are beautiful representations of things that are unhealed
• 33:31
  or untethered with inside of you. So let me
• 33:34
  know in the notes below what is triggering you on
• 33:37
  this, what is hard for you to absorb or what do you not understand or want to
• 33:40
  learn more of because then we can dive deeper into that or we can answer,
• 33:44
  I'll answer you in the comments as well. But I hope this allowed
• 33:48
  you to see that matriarchal leadership would actually, could
• 33:52
  potentially benefit you, your family, and the planet, and
• 33:56
  all of those generations that are here in your lineage yet
• 33:59
  to come. Much love, beautiful people. Thank you so much for
