The Lack of Feminine Energy in Motherhood (nothing to do with gender)
There’s a lack of feminine energy in motherhood, but this has nothing to do with gender.

In my work with clients over these years, I saw how many women grew up with authoritarian parents (often the father figure) who didn’t make them feel good enough. As adults, they become overachievers and/or perfectionists, and they do this unconsciously to prove to their caregivers they’re good enough.
This overachieving part is the overactive masculine energy.
What are feminine and masculine energies?
The feminine is the inner world, presence, creativity, and nurturing part. The masculine is action, movement, and transformation. We need both, but in this world, the masculine is rewarded, so women foster the masculine to survive.
Things weren’t always like this. Many ancient tribes sat in Council before making any decisions and asked:
“Will this action we wish to take honor the feminine?”
This would be a great way to shape society, but we lost all of that.
Between this masculine world that rewards action and hard work and the difficult upbringing that didn’t make them feel good enough, many women prioritize their masculine side and struggle to slow down and listen to their intuition. Because if they stop, they’re afraid to be crushed.
When the transition to motherhood occurs
When motherhood comes into the picture, many women are not used to nurturing their feminine side. All the past and ancestral wounds come to the surface, and they don’t know how to cope. They can’t find their power because it’s hidden under layers of fears and limiting beliefs.
How to find feminine power in motherhood
This feminine, intuitive power will not be available to you if you don’t do the work, and the work starts from the foundation of the house. This is why the chakra system is so powerful: it takes you to all the different stages that you need to work on to connect with your inner power and wisdom.
