One of the biggest reasons so many of us can feel so busy, overwhelmed, fragmented, pulled in a million directions ... like no matter how hard we work or how much we do, we just can't reach our goals ... is because we are operating from half-power vs. whole-power.
So we over work, over effort, try to do too much, choose careers or paths that are not aligned for us.
We operate like speed boats vs sail boats - we are moving so fast, focused on the next, we can't even savor what we've worked so hard or given so much to create or take care of.
Or we are adrift like lost boats out at sea, without the focus and intentional steps to ride the waves and let the wind carry us to our aligned path.
There is a different way ... if we can access some of our full power spectrums. I'm over the moon excited to share with you two power spectrums that give us a path to Do Less. Receive More. Achieve a Greater Impact (while savoring the process!)
These two power spectrums brings in the feminine, marry it with the masculine. and creates the HOW we can stay focused on our goals, missions, people we care for ... in a way that we can savor the process... make progress through momentum ... and achieve the kind of success that includes wellbeing of planet and people.
Consider this: Success without wellbeing, or having the space to savor the process, is not success.
Some of what we will dive into...
I will also walk you through applying the power of strategic surrender + focused fluidity to an area of your life now.
See you there.
Christine
p.s. >> REQUEST - SHARE this podcast with a friend and then PLAY with the two power spectrums to see what wisdom emerges when you apply strategize and surrender AND intentional focus and intuitive fluidity to the situation.

Can you re-imagine a world in which our intuition is valued as much as our intellect?
Where young women and girls, and all humans, are taught how to discern between their internal knowing, wisdom and truth?
Make decisions that not only make logical sense, they make heart sense .... the kind that keeps us aligned on our path ... the kind that gives us the courage to speak up, stand up and do things differently?
I think we can co create this reality now - but we need new language, understanding and each other.
Consider this: There is SO much power in expanding our understanding, trust in and value system of what true intelligence is.
So much power in doing what Joesph Campbell called following your bliss, and what I call follow your heart wisdom AND don't be a dummy pants :)
So much power in knowing how to tune into the 4 parts of our full spectrum of intelligence - instincts, intuion, insight and intellect.
Self trust. Creative strategic planning that supports creativity + productivity. Making choices in careers, & relationships that lead to less suffering & anxiety and more aliveness and ways to express our creative genius.. Speaking up. Just to name a few.
The mind & intellect are not built to tap into creativity and possibility, or even make wise choices. Our minds can only see what we've done before or seen others do. The intellect alone will make all kinds of things that are bad for our world (atomic bombs and AI to name two).
When we choose to honor, value, access, embody, employ this feminine energy of intuitive intelligence & heart wisdom... we open up the field of possibilty and creativity... we bring more heart power onto the planet... and the Universe starts showing up to show us the way to create realities that reflect the good and beautiful in humanity.
Tune into the second in the series is 212: The Power of Intuitive Intelligence & Heart Wisdom
Some of what we will dive into...
I will also walk you through a short 4 inquiry contemplation to apply heart wisdom and intuitive intelligence.
See you there.

I named the podcast Feminine Power Time for a reason. Even though the word 'feminine' throws or turns off many people (which is part of the reason I knew I needed to keep the name!) Even those of us that get to a point in which we get we need the feminine, want it and cherish the feminine can have a hard time understanding what it is, practically.
What do you do with the feminine?
How can it help me in my career? My relationships? Choices?
Is it really even relevant to business? and big issues like global warming and the education and safety of our children?
The short answer. Yes. We are just very ignorant (and imprinted) to not value or understand it.
One of my supers powers is taking big concepts and esoteric wisdom and breaking them down. Putting language, visuals, practices, models to it, so we can access this really potent wisdom and energy in our lives, and for all that we care about in the world.
The "feminine" first found me in 2006, after my first super woman sob in which all I was trying to do to have success in my business, mission and life was not working (more on that in the podcast).
Since then, I have studied it, explored it, experimented, and been educated and initiated into some of the most powerful energy I didn't know existed, but that was there within me all along.
For 17 years, I have seen how the feminine is the medicine needed to end at least two big epidemics - 1. burnout of the planet and people 2. the 'not enoughness' that drives so many peoople and young girls to so much unnecessary anxiety, self judgement, etc.
I also believe with all my heart that if we embody and apply the feminine, it brings the distortions of our current systems and society into balance and harmony ... and we start seeing HOW to create different realiities, that are rooted in value systems that honor the wellbeing of all people and this planet.
This is not airy hope ... this is practical application of straight up wisdom.
Tune in and join me for our inagural series in our 8th year ... What is the Feminine and Why Do We Need it?
The first in the series is 211: The Power of Stillness & Space Holding.
I will set us up for the series + we will dive into more including:
The feminine does like to be a bit of a mystery - so less words and bullet points. You will just have tune in for more.
See you there.
Christine
p.s. >> REQUEST - Please SHARE this with a friend and then talk about Space Holder and Stiliness and Swiftness. CONVERSATION STARTERS: Where are you under-valuing your Space Holder leadership and expression? what do you choose to value differently as an act of Harmonic Defiance? How can you work with stillness and swiftness in a current situation to find aligned action?

When we think of advocacy or being an advocate, we often think of how we show up for and support others, or take stands for the causes that matter to us - which is a beautiful thing. Today, I am inviting you to turn the energy of standing for, honoring and being a voice for others towards yourself. Self-advocacy.
What would it look like this year if you chose to be an advocate for yourself?
What would it look like to so deeply honor what you desire and require, that you were willing to stay true to yourself, even if that meant disappointing another?
What would change for you, if instead of just heading straight into all the things you desire and need to tend to, create, cause and respond to, you paused to consider what SUPPORT YOU NEED?
These are the questions I am inviting you step into in this series - Receive the Support You Desire and Require this Year. And then, after tuning into your deeper truth and wisdom, start using your voice and your choices to create a reality in which you truly do receive the support you need.
WISDOM: “In times of stretch or stress, or when you are doing something new, ask for and receive more support, not less." (Overwhelmed and Over It page 175)
In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #204 SELF-ADVOCACY: Honoring What You Need, No Matter What, we'll explore:
I will take you through a guided process tuning into 4 areas of physical foundational support. This will tune into your deeper wisdom and needs about:
Tune in to explore and experiment with Self-Advocacy this year.
See you there

Freedom is one of the most essential human needs, and desires. People have died fighting for it, many have never tasted it, and most of us, even if we live in a 'free' world have many ways in which we are NOT free.
Every year as we pass through July 4th marker, which in America is celebrated as Independence Day, in a country that is supposed to be founded on freedom (but in many ways is not, and was not for all people)... I take a pause to shine a light on all the ways I personally am not free or feeling free, and what is happening collectively that is so not about freedom of the people or the planet.
I tune in every year also for what conversation to have with all of you here at Feminine Power Time around Freedom. And this year, well wow, unprecented with the repealing of rights to our body, rights to be safe from gun violence in schools and public spaces, rights to vote, rights to affordable housing, and ....
So today I tuned in after my morning practice to what was needed for ust to gather around ... and out flowed Feminine Power Time #187: Fighting for Our Freedom, the Feminine Way. A power pause to consider how we channel our energy and influence.
We'll dive into:
I will lead you through:
There is wisdom here for navigating these times.
Not to just get through them. But to break through.
We've each got a part to play. We are all being called to awaken even more. And none of us can do this on our own.
Tune in to this touchstone for your radiance, rootedness and rememberance.

Power Pause Inquiries Shared
This is a special broadcast of a letter I wrote to from my heart to the hearts of the women around the world when I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World.
I often write a letter when writing a book, to help me tap into the heart and soul of why i am writing this book, and why I feel so passionate about sharing the perspectives, wisdom and stories enclosed in it.
For this book, that letter became the opening. Today, on the one year anniversary of its publication, I am sharing it FIRST here with you on Feminine Power Time as a special podcast broadcast.
Why? Because every time I sit down to create and tape a Feminine Power Time, I intend to connect with you heart to heart... to be real... to share openly... to bring insight and wisdom... and to be space where you can deeply tap into your deep internal wisdom.
For 5 years, the listeners of this podcast have been with me, here, having these conversations that much of the world is just waking up to.
The world's been crazy for a long time. It's just now, it's catalyzing at warp speed, because we MUST change. People and the planet have been burning out for decades if not centuries.
But the game isn't over.
You and I are the makers, creators, mothers of the world ... we shape culture by how we make our choices and use our voices ... we create reality ... but not if we get swirled into the swirl, can't see the systemically-generated and self-induced burnout games and structures.
AND we need each other, to help us tap into what is real, she what is needed, and then from our deep wisdom, embrace our power to choose differently and say NO MORE to what's not working.
So today... I share this with you...
Get some tea or vino or pelligrino. Or just take a chill moment in the sun. And tune in.
May this release some pressure and create more courage and clarity and connection for you today.
with great heart,
Christine

What does embodied power look, sound and feel like in a woman who is expressing as her whole and true self? What does it look, feel and sound like in you? In your presence? In your voice, spoken or written? In how you are received and perceived by others?
How do you access your truth, your voice and use it to amplify your visibility, influence, and presence in the world… in a way that is true to your expression, your authentic self?
The models for what power looks like in a person, what it sounds like, what people respond to, are distorted.
So we as women and the women before us have to distort and contort ourselves to get a seat at the table, be taken seriously, have our voices heard, or take on the qualities of men or intellectual machines without heart.
That time is over.
No more contorting, distorting our presence to fit in.
And also no more having to scream to be heard, be serious to be taken seriously, and suppressing our femininity in how we dress, speak and show up.
Today I invite you to explore within yourself the ways in which if you knew how to more powerfully wield your voice and presence, you would create more of the reality you desire for yourself, the world and what matters to you.
Whether that is in your relationships, your career, your message, your business, HOW you show up and the presence you are in it, matters big time.
But how we’ve been taught to use that voice, to show up to get what we need and be heard isn’t working for us as women.
So today, in this episode of Feminine Power Time, PRESENCE: Women with a Voice, #2 of 3 in our Re-Imagining Feminine Power series, I invite you to join me, Christine Arylo, women’s leadership advisor and catalyst, and special guest Alexia Vernon, author of Step into Your Moxie, for a session that will touch your heart, open your voice, and inspire you to expand in your expression in this world this year.
We dive into:
Here are some of the wisdom bytes from the show followed by how to connect with Alexia, including her book Step into Your Moxie – and also upcoming retreats with Christine Arylo.

WISDOM INQUIRY FOR YOU:
What are you going to embody more of this year to more powerfully express your presence and voice?
What is wanting to come through you more this year? Make this year part of exploring this next season or elevation of your expression.
What do you need to embody that is already in you?
What from your past, needs to integrate into who you are now? Have an exploration. Play with how you dress, speak, write.

Note: This Feminine Power Time is part of the 3 part series on Re-Imagining Feminine Power. Tune into #1 of the series - WEALTH: Women with Real Wealth with Christine Arylo and Julie Murphy.
When we look back at women's history, for over 50 + years since women fully entered the workforce, we have had to assimilate into systems for how we work, educate, govern, relate and operate in almost every realm of our lives... in which women had no say in creating.
The models for leadership, government, healthcare, education, business? All were created at a time when women had little power, no vote, and no voice.
Today, we are in a different position.
Today, every woman - including you - has the potential to be a leader – in your organization, community, tribe, family, life – by consciously doing things differently.
Leadership is a CHOICE you make, not a position, degree, or job you get. Your power comes from your presence. Your presence comes from within.
Your presence is that powerful, if you know how to access it's full spectrum and use it.
On the eve of International Women’s Day, I held this feminine wisdom session you can tune into now. Join me Christine Arylo, women’s leadership teacher and advisor, MBA, and catalyst for personal and collective transformation, for an illuminating, eye opening, soul awakening wisdom "session" where we will dive into:

Most women operate at half power, trying to assimilate into ways of working that don't support how we naturally operate and create, undervaluing ourselves and our work, and taking more responsibility than is ours to take on. We care about the world. We want to make things better. But the way we've learned to lead and work is based on models that do not support nor tap into our 'feminine' power and wisdom.
But what the heck is the 'feminine' and why do we need it? Can't we just all try to be better people, grow our careers, and talk about leadership without needing to gender modify it? The answer is NO.
If we desire to create a world in which there is pay equity, gender equity, connection instead of isolation, where we grow ourselves, our families and our work/business in ways that sustain and nourish us vs like some crazy Monsanto accelerated growth model, we have to LEARN what the feminine is... REVEAL the full range of our power... and then VALUE and APPLY a different way to work, live and lead.
There's much to say about Feminine Leadership and we are not going to cover it all today - I don't want to add to your overwhelm love! I want to give you the path out of it, which feminine leadership and wisdom offer us.
After studying tradition leadership for over two decades and realizing it didn't have what I needed as a woman or as a human who didn't want to perpetuate a domination and consumption model for business and living, I sought out 'the feminine' (even though I had no idea what that was at the time. Over the last decade I've applied this Wisdom to my own life and work and shared it with many more.
Today, is the start of on ongoing conversation here at Feminine Power Time, the first of our deep dives into Feminine Leadership, a way of living, working and creating I've devoted my life to teaching and living.
For today's session "Feminine Leadership: What Does it Look Like to Lead As a Woman?" we will dive into 5 foundational realms of Feminine Leadership, so we can open up to some deeper wisdom, new insights and expanded possibilities that and support us in being the change we wish to see, including:
When we lead naturally as a whole woman we embody both our masculine and feminine powers in ways that naturally lead us to creating realities that create more harmony, sustainability and prosperity.
We will end this Feminine Power Time with a short meditation that leads you to connect with HOW big a difference you are making -so you can stop pressuring yourself and start acknowledging yourself. And will help you take the pressure of taking on more responsibility than is yours... feminine leadership leads us to just do our part.
