    Welcome to Episode 15! I'm Dr. Nicole. In this episode, delve into the transformative power of aligning your feminine energy to attract healthy partners and relationships. Many women find themselves following societal scripts—dressing well and attending the right events—yet still encounter the wrong men. This episode aims to uncover the missing ingredient: embracing and embodying your feminine essence.I share the story of a coaching client, whom I'll call Joanne, who struggled to find the right partner. Despite her accomplishments, she was attracting men who either didn't treat her well or didn't align with her values. Through our work together, Joanne realized she was dimming her feminine energy by adopting a self-defense mode, trying to fit into a mold of being strong and independent. This approach led her to attract partners who mirrored her masculine energy, rather than the healthy masculinity she desired.Throughout the episode, I highlight the importance of self-awareness and the dangers of settling for less due to a scarcity mindset. I encourage listeners to reflect on their values, understand what they truly desire in a partner, and set healthy boundaries. I also provide actionable tips for attracting the right partner, such as practicing self-awareness, embracing feminine energy, setting boundaries, and being selective in whom they entertain.Subscribe, share, and leave a comment to join the conversation on connecting to your feminine essence.Sign up for my upcoming retreat: The Boundaries to Bliss Live Experience.You can get your early bird tickets here! https://www.drnicolemonteiro.com/discover-a-day-of-transformationGet more valuable insights on relationships and feminine empowerment in my book, "The Boundaries to Bliss Blueprint," available for purchase here: https://www.boundariestoblissblueprint.comFind out more about the Boundaries to Bliss Society Inner Circle Community. www.drnicolemonteiro.com/boundariesStay tuned for more episodes, and remember to send in your questions for me to address in future episodes.Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast for weekly doses of wisdom and guidance on unlocking your inner radiance and nurturing fulfilling relationships.

    Welcome to Episode 11! I'm Dr. Nicole. In today's episode, we delve into the essence of femininity, resilience, and growth. We explore the concept of resilience and how it intersects with maintaining our softness and femininity in the face of life's challenges.I share a personal story about a coaching client who embodied resilience but struggled with the belief that being strong meant being tough and unyielding. Through our work together, Wanda learned to shift from survival mode to thriving mode, embracing her resilience as a feminine strength without losing her softness.Resilience, as I discuss, is not about being tough but about adaptability, flexibility, and the ability to bounce back. It's about using our tragedies and traumas as opportunities for growth and post-traumatic growth. I emphasize the importance of acknowledging trauma, cultivating self-compassion, and shifting our perspectives to foster resilience.Subscribe, share, and leave a comment to join the conversation on connecting to your feminine essence.Sign up for my upcoming retreat: The Boundaries to Bliss Live Experience.You can get your early bird tickets here! https://www.drnicolemonteiro.com/discover-a-day-of-transformationGet more valuable insights on relationships and feminine empowerment in my book, "The Boundaries to Bliss Blueprint," available for purchase here: https://www.boundariestoblissblueprint.comStay tuned for more episodes, and remember to send in your questions for me to address in future episodes.Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast for weekly doses of wisdom and guidance on unlocking your inner radiance and nurturing fulfilling relationships.
