As women, we’ve been taught to operate like the masculine — consistent, predictable, always producing.
But feminine power is not in constant doing…
It comes from intuition — a quality that cannot be forced or scheduled into a 9-to-5.
We all know the caterpillar was never meant to race.
But what if she was conditioned by the fire ant’s pace?
What would the world look like if all the caterpillars resisted the chrysalis, convinced they should keep moving like the fire ant: fast, forceful, always doing?
She’d miss her greatest power of all… the power that emerges when she finally slows down and listens.
A woman’s stillness isn’t the same as falling behind.
It’s strategy.
It’s biology.
It’s alchemy.
A Story to Remember
There’s an Indigenous story I love…
Thousands of years ago, before men would go hunting, they didn’t wait for tools or instructions.
They waited for the women.
The women turned inwards.
They listened for guidance.
Then they pointed the way.
That’s where the men went.
That’s how they survived.
Because power began in the pause.
The Modern Disconnect
Today, women are out hunting — searching for their power in the external world. Not realizing that their true power isn’t in the going and getting (that part comes later), but in the connecting and receiving first.
And that brings us to your first superpower: intuition— a quiet, grounded knowing that doesn’t need to be forced.
Intuition: Power That Can’t Be Pushed
Here is how to understand and use your feminine superpower of intuition.
Power Fact
“Intuition is not the opposite of reason, but a form of unconscious intelligence.” — Gerd Gigerenzer, Gut Feelings
Power Affirmation
“I trust myself. My inner voice is clear and wise.”
Repeat this when you need grounding or clarity.
POWER BLOCKERS
When this power is blocked, you may feel: burnt out, disconnected, and confused.
Watch out for these habits that block intuitive flow:
- Forcing productivity
- Overcommitting
- Prioritizing logic over inner wisdom
Power Enhancers
When you’re aligned with your intuition, you feel: peaceful, clear, and wise.
Do more of this to stay connected:
- Take slow, quiet walks
- Journal freely—no agenda
- Listen to soft music or silence
- Take short breaks from your phone
Power Boundaries
Protect your superpower of intuition by:
- Scheduling quiet time for stillness or single-tasking
- Saying Yes only to what feels nourishing
- Blocking time to review, release, and reimagine
Power Ritual
