On this episode, Amy Stanton and Catherine Conners, authors of the book "The Feminine Revolution," join me to discuss how feminine traits, such as sensitivity, intuition, and showing emotion, are often painted as weaknesses in women; while the same traits are lauded in men. We discuss the value in seeing these traits as strengths and how our real power lies in our authenticity and in embracing our femininity without fear of judgement or criticism.
