Grief in the Age of the Masculine
Masculine-dominant cultures are terrible at grieving, whether it's actual loss of life or the decaying of institutions, ideas, hopes, futures -- and that's by design. We have hardly any skill or stomach for the thing we’re all inevitably careening toward, and perhaps that's one of the biggest reasons we're bubbling over with anxiety, depression, avoidance, and cruelty as a group. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the recent loss of her dad, Vanessa explores grief as an opportunity to deepen into the feminine. Whether personal loss or collective, if grief is love with nowhere to go, maybe we can give it some direction.

An intro or refresher on the archetypal masculine and feminine.
The Authority We Give
Masculine metrics tell us who to trust. We pay for that certainty with our own instincts. Who do you give your authority to instead of yourself?

The Feminine Shadow and its Imprint on Relationships Part 2
Codependency influences us to be responsible for making other people feel better. Success in that area is what can determine a sense of personal value, but this creates suffering. A more objective truth is that we can support each other but the work to quell our upset and evolve is ours alone. And boundaries – a trait of the masculine light – is where that healthy separation begins.
The Feminine Shadow and its Imprint on Relationships Part 1
Discussing behavior traits of the feminine shadow and their impact on relationships. When we’re stuck in the feminine shadow, our self-image is usually not great. Because it’s a darker manifestation of feminine light which is about relationship and community, when that healthy manifestation turns dark, it’s still about relationship and community but about us being on the outside of it, feeling disconnected from it, not allowed into it.
Empathy in the Masculine and in Times of Crisis
Let's talk about empathy: highly sensitive empathic attunement, those who have no empathy at all, empathy's impact on co-dependency, empathy through the feminine/masculine framework, and how it can feel impossible to manage empathy in times of global suffering.
