Grab yours here - https://www.khorrocks.com/resetIf you've ever been told you're "stuck in your masculine energy" - or quietly wondered it yourself — this episode is for you.There's a loud conversation happening right now about masculine and feminine energy. And a lot of it is reducing ambitious, driven, hardworking women to a label that doesn't serve them.In this episode I'm sharing why I've stopped telling women they're stuck in their masculine energy - and what I think is actually going on underneath the overfunctioning, the burnout, and the constant cycle of doing it all.Because here's the thing. The controlling, the over-organising, the struggle to switch off - those behaviours have a root. They're symptoms. And until we look at what's underneath, we're just mowing the lawn.We're covering:Why "you're in your masculine energy" is being used as a diagnostic tool when it's actually a symptomWhat's really underneath the patterns that get labelled too masculineWhy ambitious, driven women are not the problemWhat feminine energy actually looks like in its full expression - wildness, rage, softness, power, all of itWhy only YOU get to define what feminine energy means for youThis isn't about being softer, more submissive, or less of who you are. It's about understanding yourself at a deeper level - and honouring every part of what it means to be a woman.
