How to Find Your Feminine Flow to Step Fully Into Your Business

Our business culture sometimes promotes a go big or go home mentality. Make a big plan, get a big job, make big money. Unfortunately, passion and purpose aren’t big enough to always be included in this very masculine equation.

But for Julie Rost, who had “big plans” when she got out of the Peace Corps to become a naturopath, it was what was happening on the sidelines of her life that lit her up and ignited her career in yoga and eventually opening up her own studio and teacher training program.

Julie thinks sometimes people can have tunnel vision and don’t see the “nuggets of gold” around them that lead them to what brings joy and contentment. “We need to bring more right brain to a very left-brained world,” she said. Our left brain (more masculine) and right (more feminine) sides of our brain offer different ways of thinking: Logical vs spiritual or ego driven vs relational, intuitive or feeling that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.

This way of balancing both the masculine and feminine helped Julie 15 years ago, and also this past year as she made a big leap to let go of her studio (without a plan) and venture into something that filled her more creatively and spiritually. 

Julie offers wonderful wisdom for female entrepreneurs trying to find their flow and step more fully into the fullest expression of themselves. Click here to listen to her Instagram Live Interview on our live series called Women Working for Wellness from the Women’s Wellness Exchange to hear more.

Quotes from our conversation:

• “When you feel stuck and small, it’s time to let it go.”
• “When joy comes in, we feel more clarity.”
• “Bring it (your business) forward and trust that the people that need this will get it. I realized that if this doesn’t work out, it will be taking me in a different direction that will take me towards where I need to go.”
• “Be confident as individuals and be trusting to the collective.”
• “Our work is just another way to express our soul and our soul’s purpose.”
• “Your business is like an ongoing conversation. You’ve got to constantly look at what’s flowing and what’s getting stuck and be really honest about that.”
