- 57. Healing the Wounded Feminine + Masculine: Balancing Energy while Moving from the Heart, Finding Safe Spaces, & Embracing Community with Sian Camile (Author + host of Apricity)
Today's episode is a conversation with a girl after my own heart, Sian Camile.
Sian is a beautiful, soulful woman who truly leads with love and creates spaces for creativity to flourish.
Her presence is comforting and connected & the wisdom of her insights feel like a soothing balm for the soul.
In this episode, we talk about
- The Divine Energies: Masculine & Feminine (+ How they're Differentiated from Gender)
- Symptoms of The Wounded Feminine
- Healing the Heart + Moving from Love
- Balancing the Dualities: Light + Dark
- Nuances of Womanhood, Dating, and Breakups
- How Sian curates and creates community for other people through her Writing Workshops
- Her perspective on vulnerability as a superpower and how breaking the barrier to allowing oneself to be seen is the key to bonding + relational connectivity with others
- Conscious living in your 20's: Finding Your Community
Whether it's the similarities we share in both being writers, podcast hosts, or having Water, Air, and Earth in our big three (Sian: Cap Sun, Gemini Rising, Cancer Moon / Me: Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising, Aquarius Moon), this episode is an embodiment of Sian & I's kindred spirits.
Enjoy <3

Productivity that feels nourishing is rare these days. When quantity out-rules quality, we feel burnt out by the pressure to produce. The tendency to put things off, look to our left and see something "better," and silently stay in our chamber of consumption, rather than creation is far too pervasive in today's age.
So, how do we actually equip ourselves to separate what we want to do from what we "have" to do, create from a place of empowerment, and share our magic with the world? How do we resist the hustle-culture that leads to burnout while also being honest with ourselves about if we're showing up in a way that aligns with our highest self?
On this episode, we take a look at the psychology of perfectionism and discuss ways to overcome the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep us frozen. Through actionable steps and a mindset shift, we can slowly take aligned action in the every day to set our own standard for success, and silence the inner critic.
(A very fun exercise is included to identify this voice + overcome it!!)

This episode is for those who have felt, at any point, like they are "too much."
To dim the beautiful bright light in your being to be palatable and digestible for others is an indiscretion to your soul.
We must resist the urge to give into cynicism and nihilism and embrace that life CAN be beautiful, love IS that good, and that we ARE meant to live in joy and trust that flow will guide us.
During this episode, we go on a journey of understanding where cynicism and projection comes from, why we prioritize people pleasing over our own personal power, and what happens when we decide to live rooted in ourselves and connected to our joy.
Life is too short to not believe that it can also be sweet.
We talk:
0:00 - 5:09 - The Psychology of Cynicism + Projection
5:15 - 9:08 - The Negative Impacts of Dimming Your Light
9:08 - 13:01 - Why Animals + Children are Magnets for Attention & Joy

16:00 - 19:58 - Letting Yourself Be Seen: Remaining Open to Love vs Toxic Positivity
19:58 - Reprogramming your Mind & Affirmations for Inner/Outer Harmony

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body - love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place in the family of things."
'Wild Geese', by Mary Oliver

At some point in our lives, we may find ourselves bending and folding ourselves into shapes that are not our own in an exhausting effort to fit in, conform, and get our return on the illusion we bought that told us we'd be happy if we just "did what we were supposed to do."
And too often, when this formula doesn't work for us - we exile ourselves and internalize the confusion of being confused.
We may wonder why we haven’t gotten it right, why we feel so misunderstood.
What we fail to acknowledge is -- that while we try to contort ourselves into a glass half empty - our unique desires, impulses, and dreams are waiting for us to fill our glass full.
Have you ever considered that maybe your life is asking of you something so unique, so particular, and so idiosyncratic to your own individual idiosyncrasies - that only you can hear the call and only you can take the action?
This episode discusses the art of authentic living & the process of embracing our individuality - along with the challenges that come with outgrowing people, places, and things that may have once felt like home.
There are many choices we can make in this world, but the one I can almost promise you will never regret making is choosing yourself.
To choose yourself, you must learn yourself, know yourself, trust yourself - and honor the individual expression that calls in a voice only you can hear.
I believe you have what it takes to do so.
It is your calling, after all.

Struggles and success often dance hand in hand.
Jamie Hess grew up in New York City as the daughter of GMA Host, Joan Lunden. A tenacious go-getter from a young age, Jamie was gifted, precocious, and ahead of the curve. She grew up fast - and she found herself soaring up the ladder of Corporate PR earlier than most. But she was curbing the growing pains of growing up in the public eye with a drug addiction that she kept secret - until she couldn't any longer.
After the road to recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, Jamie turned her life around and discovered fitness, making it her mission to create community and help others see the beauty in a healthy lifestyle. She amassed thousands of followers with a zest for her new passion, until she found herself with another addiction hidden in sheep's clothing. This time, it was an eating disorder.
Years after recovery from these eras - today, Jamie is a wellness entrepreneur, speaker, mother, wife, and podcaster whose work has been featured on the Dr. Oz Show, The View, and Good Morning America.
On this episode, Jamie shares her story of resilience and accountability, and how her intimate experience with darkness became the groundwork for the woman she is today.
Each battle she overcame wove her life tapestry with the humility and infectious authenticity that allows her to teach the lessons that she had to learn.
She is a woman who channels her past into a beacon for those seeking light.
On this episode, we talk:
(00:00) - Overcoming Addiction, Jamie's Story
(10:38) - Asking for Help, Releasing Shame, Finding Community
(23:15) - Money Wound, Self-Doubt, Fear, Growing Confidence
(26:13) - Perfectionism + Inner Criticism, Pursuing your Dreams
(29:57) - How Vulnerability is a SuperPower
(39:21) - Jealousy as a Signal, Internalized Misogyny, The Company you Keep
(46:05) - How a Warrior Mindset saved Jamie's Mom from Breast Cancer + How Gratitude Saved Jamie from Addiction

You cannot run from what you don't want and run towards what you do at the same time.
You do one or the other.
In every moment - we are creating.
Either unconsciously or consciously - we choose the patterns and programs, or - we choose to create new ones.
In trying to avoid pain, we create the environments and situations to see it more clearly.
In a decision and a direction, we head forth into the unknown with a guidance born from our own powerful intentions.
If we search for safety, the best we will find - is safety.
But if we go towards our ideal, with the assumption that we are already safe -- we are able to see the boundlessness of positive momentum take form in our lives.
By understanding that our energy is a resource, one that is finite - but also able to multiply if we take care to nourish it, we can identify what drives and motivates us.
Fear? or Peace?
Survival? or Creation?
You choose.

In the art of living, there's a subtle yet profound practice of flirting with life, embracing its vast possibilities, and allowing ourselves the freedom to dream without restraint.
This episode peels back the layers of self-imposed limitations, bringing into focus the joy and growth that lie on the other side of fear.
There comes a time where your inner work will lead you to outgrowing your outer world and will ask you to make decisions to choose more for yourself without knowing exactly what comes next.
I invite you to imagine a world where you dance with your destiny and where the anticipation of what's to come is as delightful as the arrival itself.

Life goes beyond the house that you grew up in.
But you may spend many years healing from the time you spent growing up in it.
For my sister and I, we have found this to be the case.
Today, we unpack the impact of how growing up amidst instability shaped our lives and gave us mutual purpose to break the cycle of generational trauma.
Angelica is the strongest person that I know - and her experiences are one that I am honored to give voice to on Figuring Sh!t Out.
My sister and I share no DNA. She was adopted at Birth by our parents and has faced a layer of adversity as a person of color that I will never be able to fully understand. We grew up together in Florida in a fractured environment that she left at 15.
Our individual experiences and healing has led us back to one another after being separated for many years in our adolescence. We are not of the same blood, but have been cut from the same cloth, and found our definition of home to be one another.
To be vulnerable about what made you who you are today, even if it is a heavy past that you have learned and healed from - is to be free from letting it define you.
I hope this episode inspires you release any weight from the past that you no longer need to carry and know that the decision to heal is all that you need to begin.

Sit down & grab your popcorn - because this episode is different than any other on Figuring Sh!t Out:
Today is Story-Time.
I am taking you on a very honest journey through the last nine months -- from agreeing to run a Marathon in Paris, France (26.2 miles, 42 km) to all of the mental, emotional, and spiritual training that led me and my body to ultimately cross the finish line.
While this was a physical challenge - the physical capability paled in comparison to all of the limits that I had to personally release to feel ready to do this.
All that has been discussed on Figuring Sh!t Out up until this point has culminated to this moment -- where I put my mind, heart, soul, spirit, body, and divine connection to the test.
This has felt like a research project where the findings weren't ready to be presented until the test was finished.
& I can in fact confirm:
- Fear is an Illusion - Decide to not let it in or let it matter & it won't
- You are Greater and more powerful than Your Mind, Your Limits, and Your Conditions
- You will have to trade your old life for your new one, and you will be glad that you did
- Visualizing a Future State in Meditation Works (Actually WORKS) To Create A Desired State
- Progress is Not Linear - and Neither is Time
- The Present Moment is Eternal & Is the Portal to Peace, Truth, and Spiritual Guidance
- Your Intuition is Your Greatest Guide - Fear + Doubt are Blockers to It
- A Desire to Control is always from the Ego
- Your Heart is the Portal to Everything
- Love is The Highest Vibration
- Challenge is Your Wisest Teacher
All of the above will be divulged in fullness over the course of this season - but today -
A vulnerable unveiling of my own personal experience in the process of Figuring Sh!t Out.
I ran a Marathon in Paris - here is my story.

You do not have to adapt to the energy in the room -- You can influence it.
A wise person once said: “How you do anything - is how you do everything,”
So how do you use your voice, your power, and your energy, to serve a purpose and live an aligned life?
& How do you stay true to yourself while operating in systems or places that don’t feel aligned to you?
How can you protect your peace and find alignment and power through surrender?
By knowing what is in your control vs what is out of it, and knowing the power of your energy and it’s ability to attract like-minded people, places & things is your most precious resource.
This episode pulls together themes of power + influence in a way that fuels our soul, rather than our ego. It re-examines our self-responsibility and pushes us to consider how we can use our voice + establish a connection to our energy to live lovingly, boldly, and proudly in this outside world.
At the end of the podcast, I give you an overview of a daily practice to check-in with yourself and find your alignment, starting small, and starting in the here + now.
(Questions for this down below + upcoming monthly meditation in the Community will be aligned to this practice!!)
Note: Apologies for the end being slightly different sounding in audio - finished recording the last part with different settings on my microphone :,)

We are part of nature. And there is never a time we are not changing.
As we navigate the seasons and embrace the Spring Equinox, this episode is a reminder to ignite a self-acceptance that allows us to truly flourish by embracing what we often reject about ourselves.
It is easy for us to like ourselves when we're doing well and easy for us to be happy on a sunny day --
But feeling a stability with ourselves and our lives comes from acceptance of the duality of who we are and the natural and inevitable cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.
We will always live in duality with both our soul and our ego.
As Winter is a Precursor to Spring, The Dark Night of the Soul is a often a precursor to change and self-renewal.
Can you embrace both?
Can you let yourself bloom?

In this episode, we discuss the need for harmony among the wholeness of our full selves - mind, body, and soul.
The objectification and disconnection we often feel from our physical experience is the result of a fragmentation of our selves as a survival and defense mechanism -
But there is a vital connection between our physical health & our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
If our bodies are what we explore this world through, the quality of our experience can be directly correlated to how we feel in our bodies and how much our bodies feel safe to --- feel.
Learning how to feel safe in our skin and pave the way for resilience begins with cultivating respect for all parts of ourselves.
A very simple question can probe a lot of insight into how balanced you are:
Are you taking care of yourself? Are you treating yourself well? What does treating yourself "well" even mean to you?
This can be a sensitive and complicated subject, but it starts small and very simply.
Tuning into our basic needs and honoring them with gentle care can help us identify our emotional needs, connect more deeply to our spiritual bodies, and allow our life experience to be greatly deepened.
I'm hoping to bring an expert into this discussion as a continued conversation, so let me know your thoughts on this episode + what you'd like to explore more of on this topic below if you feel called.

Stop chasing happiness - it is a trap. Stop living your life for the future - it is a bigger trap.
If you treat your life like a means to an end, you will always be left with the same question:
"An end -- to what?"
The novelty of life is that it is both fleeting and the only thing we will ever know. & The relentless pursuit for the meaning of it will only lead you to eclipsing your right to live it.
So live.
Let this episode serve as your Wake Up Call to shift your perspective - from dreaming and reaching for a life of abundance to stepping into creation and experiencing the beautiful duality of every moment.
We are here to feel!! To live!! To be! To create! The only pre-requisite is that you are alive and well.
Stop letting your conditions control the narrative that you create.

When you chose to heal, you chose to break cycles that have lived on for generations.
There is immense power in that choice. And immense transformation.
No one said it would be easy.
This episode is an exploration into the power of The Dark Night of the Soul, which occurs during transformation to burn away all that is not aligned with the growth you've chosen for yourself.
Like a Pheonix rising from the ashes, rebirth is inevitable.
The magic of transformation is not without a pursuit into a new darkness to bring you forth the truest light you've yet to know.
Remember why you started.
Let that carry you. Let love carry you. Let the light find you.

Life is vulnerability.
Time and time again we find that we are on this journey to find the strength that we didn't know that we had. To shock and surprise ourselves at the ability to get through the rough days, long nights, and find the bliss of sunshine again and again, even when we think it may be gone forever.
And to be a witness to our boundless ability to continue on loving when we feel loveless.
We have our hearts to thank for that -- the energetic pathway that lets our emotional energy in and out. The heart is a bridge to profound healing and to growth.
Our hearts hold the hands of our spiritual being and our physical being - weaving them together in a tapestry of energy that forms us into who we are.
Our greatest power is learning how to let what wants to flow through us, through us, so that we can have access to the authentic self that lies inside of our hearts.
Your heart is your portal to your intuition, to your wisest self, to your inner knowing and your inner magic.
Your heart holds experiences in the past, present, and future, and allows you to experience both the fullness and the emptiness of life.
When we hold onto pain, we are closed and we are blocked. We are clenched in the corners of fear and negativity, keeping our walls up, keeping love out, and keeping blessings, opportunities, and potential, out of our line of sight.
When we open, we are free. We allow the pain to come in, we allow it to be felt, we allow it to show us that it will always leave if we let it. And we make room for what is new to come in. We are able to see that every event that caused us to close up, was only to stretch our heart further open when we were ready.
Leading with an open heart is not a sign of vulnerability but a beacon of strength that guides us toward a more aligned, influential, and authentic existence.
In this episode, we explore the power of love's presence in our lives, how our heart center supports and protects us, and conscious brain-heart coherence with some readings from Joe Dispenza & Michael J. Singer.
To live, if not passionately, is a mistake. To buy into the fallacy that our days are not numbered and that love is not the most evident pulse beneath the footprints of our world, even the harshest of them, is to live with eyes closed. You cannot live untouchably - life is vulnerability.
I love you guys
