Feminine Leadership and Surrender: A Different Kind of Strength
I’ve always been wired to lead. Even as a child, I naturally stepped into leadership roles. So when I was introduced to the concept of the divine feminine and its emphasis on surrender rather than control, I struggled to imagine what that could even look like. Letting go of outcomes and not planning every step felt completely foreign to me.
Surrender actually felt counterintuitive and for many of my clients it does as well. It can seem like you’re stepping back, releasing control or risking everything you’ve worked to hold together. And for women, this can feel like betrayal.
But what if surrender isn’t weakness? What if it’s the exact skill that deepens our leadership?
This is the lesson I’m holding close right now. As I head off to Italy and Greece, it’s more than a getaway. It’s an active practice in feminine leadership and surrender, I am learning to soften into trusting the unfoldment of this adventure vs trying to control every step of the way.
Rewriting the Narrative of Control
We’ve been taught that the best leaders are the most 'in control'. The most prepared. The most unshakable. But that model is brittle if you ask me.
True leadership asks something different. It asks us to trust not just our strategy, but our presence. It asks us to pause. To let go. To create space for the wisdom we can’t micromanage into being.
This is what leadership through trust looks like. And for many women I work with, it’s the hardest shift of all.
Surrender Is a Nervous System Practice
Letting go isn’t just a mindset. It’s physiological. If your nervous system is in survival mode, it will interpret surrender as danger.
That’s why part of my own practice, and what I teach, is grounded in nervous system rest practices. Think: slow walks, long exhales, intuitive movement and daily rituals. They’re reprogramming tools and they tell the body: it’s safe to loosen your grip.
Before you can surrender on the outside, you have to unwind on the inside.
My Intentions While Stepping Away
As I travel, I’m practicing what I teach. I’m letting myself rest, not because I’ve earned it, but because I’m allowed to. I’m choosing:
Joy, without needing to earn it
Nourishment, without apology
Trust, without needing all the answers
This is feminine leadership and surrender in motion. It’s what allows magic to meet us when we’re not chasing it.
