Signs of the Wounded Feminine Energy
Trusting your intuition and flowing along your soul path with the support of the Universe is extremely challenging if you carry wounded feminine energy. Our society is built on praising the masculine energy of hustle, taking action and prioritizing logic, but we are slowly becoming exhausted and can’t continue with the current imbalance in energy. Why is your feminine energy so wounded and what can you do to change things?
As a Spiritual Mentor & Intuitive Guide I support my clients in connecting with their true authentic self in order to follow their intuition along their soul path. The clients I work with in the Spirit of Air group program all feel called to live differently; to leave the pressure of the hustle mentality behind, to feel more connected to the Universe and to live intuitively.
In this blog I will share what feminine energy is, the difference between distorted and divine feminine energy, and most importantly 3 signs that point to your feminine energy being wounded.
WHAT IS FEMININE ENERGY
Feminine and masculine energy are not dependent on your gender. Every single person carries both masculine and feminine energy, but most of us prioritize one over the other which creates an imbalance in the use of these energies. I’m not suggesting there needs to be a perfect 50/50 balance, but these two energies can only thrive with the help of each other.
Feminine energy is where your intuition is held, along with your emotions, any aspect of healing and resting, and it houses your ability to receive and go with the flow. Feminine energy is associated with BEING.
Masculine energy is where your logic is held, along with your sense of structure, any aspect of taking action and assertiveness, and it houses your ability to plan and lead. Masculine energy is associated with DOING.
As a sensitive soul, I have often struggled in the masculine-dominated society. I have been told I am too soft, and I’ve been made to feel like I’m living in the wrong way if I don’t have a 5-year and 10-year plan. Being tough-skinned in this cruel world never felt right to me, and I’d rather be someone who feels everything easily because I believe I’m able to bring more love and kindness into a world that is filled with such fear and pain. I also have always been opposed to plans of any kind because I believe that you never know when opportunity will come knocking on your door. Plus adventures of all kinds bring me a great sense of joy.
Knowing which energy between masculine and feminine feels more true to your Spirit is important when you are trying to build a life, and when living your life. Even though the feminine energy resonates more and comes more easily to me, it doesn’t mean that I can forget about the masculine energy.
Due to our society being built on masculine energy I have carried many belief systems that said I wouldn’t be successful because of my intuitive ways. Learning to break down the outdated beliefs that limited me has allowed me to find harmony and fulfillment between my masculine and feminine energies.

DISTORTED VERSUS DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY
What does it mean to carry distorted feminine energy versus divine feminine energy?
Distorted feminine energy is when you are relying too much on your masculine energy and you are unable to trust the power of your feminine energy.
Distorted feminine energy can also look like relying too much on your feminine energy and not giving space for the masculine energy in your life.
Divine feminine energy is when you’ve found harmony between your masculine and feminine energy and you’ve learned when to rely on each one in a healthy way.
Both energies become divine when you are able to create a divine union between the two.
3 SIGNS OF WOUNDED FEMININE ENERGY
What does it actually look like in your life when your feminine energy is wounded? These are three of the most common signs I’ve seen play out in my life or in the lives of my clients when it comes to wounded feminine energy.
#1 Rejects compliments
When someone pays you a compliment, you are quick to either a) turn the tables and give them a compliment back, b) be dismissive and explain why it’s not true or c) point out something wrong with yourself. This is a tell-tale sign that you are carrying wounded feminine energy.
The healthy feminine energy within you knows that it is safe to receive, this includes receiving compliments, receiving love, receiving abundance of any kind. There can be many different reasons as to why you reject compliments and you stop yourself from receiving something good in your life.
The most common reason, you don’t feel worthy. If you are rejecting compliments it makes me wonder what other good things are you resisting in your life because of your inability to receive. Are you resisting love? Are you resisting money? This wounded feminine attribute is about not being able to receive because of a feeling of unworthiness.
#2 Over Emotional
Emotions are not a bad thing, however in our society we’ve been taught to repress our emotions. When you are over emotional, feeling your own emotions and the emotions of others in a deep way, it’s because you feel a sense of judgment and shame around those emotions so they are becoming amplified.
I have always been a deep-feeling kind of person and if a week would go by where I didn’t cry I thought something was off with me. The moment I learned how to flow through my emotions in a healthy way, how to create boundaries with my empathic tendency, and how to carry grace for my emotions rather than judgment and shame, I healed my wounded feminine energy.
It’s healthy to experience your emotions and they can teach you a lot about yourself. If you find yourself emotionally reacting to everything then it’s a clear sign your feminine energy is wounded.
#3 Forming Your Opinions & Decisions Based on Everyone Else
You don’t trust yourself to make a decision for your life without asking everyone else what they think. You tend to avoid sharing your opinions about something and often form your opinion around what the people in your life believe.
You aren’t willing to listen to your own intuition or gut knowing. You don’t trust your intuition to be guiding you in the right direction or you are afraid of making a mistake. In this energy you end up compromising your own values, maybe you don’t even know what your values are.
I’ve been here. My fear of judgment was so strong that even if I felt my intuition guiding me in a certain direction I avoided it at all costs because I didn’t want others to judge my decisions. I also didn’t have a strong sense of self, so rather than try and figure out my own opinion on a situation I would wait to hear everyone else’s and I would go with the group.
Your feminine energy is where you carry a sense of knowing, it’s where you feel a sense of being, it’s where your intuition resides. Our masculine dominated society has prioritized logic and rational reasoning for so long, that those of us with a strong feminine side have chosen to quiet our inner knowings and our intuition in order to not rock the boat. If you can’t explain your decision then nobody else is going to trust why it’s your decision, but you can’t logically explain your intuition and knowing, it’s a feeling and a pull in a certain direction.
Those of us with people pleasing tendencies show up in this category of the wounded feminine energy. We would rather please everyone around us in order to receive approval and praise that we’ve begun to identify as a people pleaser, which society sees as a good thing. Of course the masculine dominated society wants more people pleasers because it means we will follow the leaders and do everything in our power to make sure they are happy.
We end up losing ourselves in the process. I walked away from the most challenging moment of my life not knowing who I was, I had no sense of being because I became so focused on living for everyone else.
This is a tell tale sign that your feminine energy is wounded.
You are here because you know you are a deeply feminine being, meaning you are in a world that looks down on your intuitive abilities and yet you desire to start feeling more aligned with your intuition and letting it lead you.
You are ready to live with healthy feminine energy, trusting your intuition, feeling connected to the Universe, and flowing along your soul path. You are ready to have a strong sense of self and in knowing who you are as a Spirit.
