Past Fears of Feminine Power (Part 1)

Past Fears of Feminine Power (Part 1)

In this video, part 1 of 2, I begin to attempt to explain the extremely mixed energies I’ve been battling within myself for 2+ decades regarding my feminine side. Aided by the extreme, societal objectification of females, I’ve fought my softer side, including how it has related to my physical appearance. Above all else, and namely from men, I desired respect of my intelligence. Whenever I began to try to embrace my female side – particularly in my body and in my dress – I felt as if I was selling out to all females and further contributing to the overall objectification. As a result of all of these conflicting things taking place, my body image suffered tremendously and my eating issues/disorders were exacerbated.
