How can you activate your true feminine energy?
My guest Nina Lombardo teaches conscious intimacy, polarity, and sacred feminine practice at Way of Devotion, and she’s one of the few voices in this space who refuses to sell an outcome.
We start with her own arc from what she calls “puddleness” into a woman with a spine, and how that reshaped the way she now teaches women coming from the opposite direction: armored, ambitious, over-functioning.
Nina makes a distinction between a need and neediness that reorganized how I think about asking my partner for anything.
There’s a piece on choosing partners who conveniently can’t meet your depth, because staying hidden feels safer than being fully seen. She doesn’t let anyone off the hook here, including herself.
Later, Nina walks through what it actually looks like to express anger through the body as an invitation instead of an accusation, and why a whimper in real time beats resentment every single time.
If you’ve done therapy, done the healing, and still can’t figure out why intimacy feels stuck, the answer she offers is uncomfortable in the best way.
