Feminine Leadership: Beyond the Girlboss Vs Soft Femme

This episode cracks open the concept of feminine leadership, particularly from the perspective of the corporate woman who is constantly negotiating power, implicitly or explicitly, within workplaces and leadership teams that are often dominated by men. 

We explore the ways that women typically meet male power in the workplace, the limitations of ‘girlboss’ aka neoliberal feminism which essentially asks us to mimic men, and conversely the ‘soft femme’ movement which asks us to reclaim our femininity and step out of hustle culture entirely. I advocate for a different and more empowering model of feminine leadership, where we step into total unapologetic ownership of our female bodies and harmonise the feminine and masculine energies within the self.

We also discuss traditionally ‘feminine’ leadership traits such as emotional intelligence, and the various advances in workplace equality which have empowered women in recent years.

Western history and religion does not paint a very empowering picture for women. We look at the more freeing Tantric perspectives on female expression, and crack open the oracle archetype.
