Trauma does not live only in the mind. It lives in the body — and in community.In this powerful solo episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro explores why the body remembers trauma, how emotions are stored in the nervous system, and why movement, rhythm, and ritual have always been central to healing across cultures.Drawing from:nervous system sciencesomatic psychologytraditional African and diasporic movement practicesand her published research African Dance as a Healing Modality throughout the Diaspora (Monteiro & Wall, 2011)Dr. Monteiro bridges ancient collective healing practices with modern clinical understanding to explain how trauma is regulated, released, and integrated through the body.In this episode, you'll learn:Why trauma cannot be resolved by insight aloneHow the nervous system stores unresolved emotional energyWhy traditional movement and ritual regulated communities for centuriesWhat modern society lost when healing became individual and verbalHow women across generations can safely reintroduce embodied healing todayWhy collective practices restore safety faster than isolationIf you've ever said, “I've talked about this, but my body still reacts,” this episode explains why — and what your body has been waiting for.

Vulnerability + Visibility = Virality The cheat code to your next level of confidence, connection, and income What if virality wasn't about algorithms, trends, or posting more — but about letting yourself be seen before you feel ready? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real relationship between vulnerability, visibility, and virality, and why most women stay invisible not because they lack talent — but because they're waiting for confidence that only comes after they show up. I'm sharing my own real-time experience with returning to my art, posting imperfect sketches, and allowing people to witness the process — and how that vulnerability created deeper connection, conversations, and momentum than perfection ever could. In this episode, we talk about: Why visibility is a skill, not a personality trait How vulnerability builds confidence after execution Why most women hide their becoming — and what it costs them The difference between performing online vs. communicating clearly How visibility creates trust, authority, and opportunities Why virality is often a byproduct of resonance, not strategy If you've been feeling called to share more of yourself — your ideas, your creativity, your perspective — but fear has been holding you back, this episode is your permission slip. ✨ You don't need to be ready. ✨ You need to be visible. Ready to go deeper? This is the work we do inside Shine Online — learning how to communicate with clarity, build confidence through visibility, and turn your voice into authority and income without burning out. January enrollment is closing, and when you join this month, you'll also receive my Pinterest Masterclass for free — a powerful tool for long-term visibility that compounds over time.

I recently read something that stopped me in my tracks: being fat robbed me of my femininity.And I haven't been able to shake it.In this episode, I pose a question that came out of a Reddit thread but really speaks to a shared experience so many of us quietly lived: growing up, did femininity ever feel like it wasn't meant for you?I'm sharing my own experiences of being invisible next to friends, being talked about like I wasn't even a person, not being able to shop where other girls shopped, missing out on certain “girlhood” moments, and learning very early on which bodies were allowed to be soft, desired, and feminine and which weren't.We'll talk about how those moments shape us long after childhood, how confidence can coexist with old wounds, and what it actually looks like to take your femininity back without performing it or earning permission.If you've ever felt like girlhood passed you by, or like femininity came with conditions you didn't meet, this episode is for you. You're not alone—and you didn't imagine it.Show Notes!

You can talk about your healing. You can analyze your emotions. You can understand your trauma.But if the emotion never moves through the body… it doesn't leave.In this powerful solo episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro explores dance as a healing modality, emotional expression through movement, and why the body holds what the mind avoids.Drawing from her lived experience as a professional African dancer—training in Guinea, performing across the United States and Japan, and studying dance as a healing practice—Dr. Nicole blends psychology, neuroscience, and embodiment to explain how movement regulates the nervous system and restores emotional flow.In this episode, you'll learn:Why talk therapy alone isn't always enoughHow emotions get stored in the bodyThe difference between sensuality and sexualityHow dance helps release grief, anger, desire, and joyWhy feminine embodiment increases emotional and relational safetyHow to begin using movement as medicine✨ If you've ever felt emotionally “stuck,” disconnected from your body, or numb despite self-awareness—this episode is for you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-formula-of-femininity/exclusive-content

So many women are doing all the right things — and still not living the life, love, or ease they desire.Why?Because attraction doesn't respond to tactics.It responds to identity.In this solo episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro explores what it actually means to become the woman who has what she desires — rather than endlessly trying to get it.This episode breaks down why:Identity shapes attraction more than strategyNervous system regulation influences what you attractDesire responds to who you are being, not how hard you tryOver-efforting often signals an identity mismatchFeminine embodiment creates magnetism without chasingBlending psychology, embodiment, and lived insight, this episode invites you to shift from striving to stabilizing — from tactics to identity.✨ If you've been doing all the work but still feel like you're chasing… this episode is for you.

This week I talk about alcohol prohibition and the birth of the 18th Amendment. Mainstream media, strategically manipulated by a woman named Carrie Nation and her posse of temperance propagandists, talked the United States into responding to problems stemming from rapid industrialization (addiction, homelessness, etc.) by outlawing alcohol in 1919, and they pulled it off by using Christianity and Femininity as tools of social change despite being unable to vote as women at that time. Support the show

Some of the most powerful relationship lessons don't come from books or therapy sessions — they come from embodied practices that teach us how to slow down, soften, and trust timing.In this deeply personal solo episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro shares how inheriting a love of gardening from her grandmother became a grounding feminine practice — one that strengthened her nervous system, deepened her marriage, and reshaped how she relates to love.This episode explores:• How gardening regulates the nervous system and reduces stress• Why embodied feminine practices create emotional safety in relationships• The surprising link between patience, softness, and lasting love• How releasing control strengthens intimacy• Why feminine hobbies are not “extra,” but essential for relational health• What tending the soil teaches us about tending loveBlending personal storytelling, psychology, and research, this episode invites you to rethink strength, productivity, and connection — and consider how slowing down may be the very thing your relationship needs.If you've been feeling rushed, hardened, or disconnected — from yourself or your partner — this episode offers a gentle return to softness, presence, and rooted love.

Some of the identities we're most proud of are the ones quietly harming us.In this powerful solo myth-busting episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro unpacks the cultural, psychological, and health myths many women — especially Black women — were taught to survive… but were never meant to live inside forever.This episode challenges three deeply ingrained myths:✨ The Strong Black Woman myth✨ The Independent at All Costs myth✨ The belief that Soft = WeakAnd it exposes the health myths that come with them:• “Strong means neglecting your body”• “Weight and health are just discipline, not lifestyle balance”• “Rest is laziness”Blending personal storytelling, psychology, and research-informed insight, this episode explores how chronic stress, hyper-independence, and self-neglect show up in women's bodies — and how redefining strength through boundaries, softness, and regulation is an act of healing.If you've ever felt guilty resting…If you've pushed through symptoms to keep functioning…If you've been praised for being strong while quietly breaking inside…This episode is for you.

In this episode, we go deep into the crisis many men are facing today — and how women can rise in their feminine power to bring out the best, not the worst, in them.We talk ancestral design, biblical principles, masculine leadership, feminine intuition, emotional safety, and what it takes to build men who are strong, grounded, purposeful, driven and successful.If you've ever wondered why men feel lost, why women feel exhausted, and why relationships feel like battles instead of partnerships — this conversation will change everything.This is not gender war. This is our way back to divine love and God.This is the original blueprint — restored.

In this liberating and deeply personal episode, Dr. Dee and her guests explore how embracing femininity leads to emotional healing, self-discovery, and freedom from shame. They challenge the misconceptions around what it means to be a “freak,” revealing how true freedom begins with loving and knowing yourself. “Being with myself frees the freak in me.” “Tapping into femininity doesn't always lead to sex—it leads to me being free to be me.”This powerful conversation covers:The emotional and spiritual connection between femininity and sexual freedomHow shame, damage, and societal roles suppress feminine identityThe importance of tending to yourself and reclaiming your timeHow healing the woman within can lead to healing in othersThis episode is a bold reminder that your femininity is not a weakness—it's your power. And when you embrace it fully, you unlock the freedom to be your whole, healed, and unapologetic self.

What we have been teaching on biblical womanhood and God's design for marriage, is from God's Word - not my opinion, and His commands are the only way to real joy, stability, and blessing. Much confusion and misery today comes from rejecting God's order, especially regarding marriage and the roles of men and women. Women have a clear responsibility before God to live according to His Word, and they will answer to God for their attitudes and obedience, just as men will. Submission, as Scripture teaches it, is not weakness or humiliation but a place of honor, power, and influence, rooted in humility and love. A godly woman, with a meek and quiet spirit and a pure heart, has great power to bless her home, change the world, and even win an unbelieving husband. Marriage belongs to God and only works when both husband and wife commit to His design. Ignoring God's ways leads to heartbreak, while obedience brings peace, strength, and blessing in the home.

What does it really mean to raise daughters with feminine power — not fear, not burnout, not self-abandonment?In this deeply personal solo episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro shares the real lessons she's intentionally passing down to her daughters about femininity, boundaries, emotions, relationships, and legacy.This is not a parenting “how-to.”This is legacy work.In this episode, you'll hear:✨ Why “be strong” is not the lesson girls actually need✨ How emotional permission builds confident, boundaried women✨ Why boundaries — not toughness — create feminine safety✨ What daughters absorb from how we live, not what we say✨ How Dr. Nicole talks to her daughters about love, men, and relationships✨ The difference between performative femininity and embodied feminine power✨ How to raise daughters who don't abandon themselves for approvalIf you're a mother, a future mother, or a woman doing the work of re-parenting herself — this episode will meet you deeply.

Why is modern health failing women, and what does it look like to return to alignment with our bodies, our biology, and our purpose? Ste sits down with Dr. Marley Quinn, a chiropractor whose journey from veganism, orthorexia, and conventional medicine to faith, cycle syncing, and holistic healing has transformed her life and her health. Marley opens up about: Rejecting conventional medicine's pill-for-every-problem model Leaving veganism and embracing animal-based, biblical eating Healing food obsession through instinctive eating Reconciling yoga, Christianity, and the search for God Why the 9–5 system fights the female hormone cycle The girlboss trap, status chasing, and the crisis of meaning Restoring feminine energy, family, and divine purpose Together they explore why today's medical and cultural systems were never designed for the female body, how women can reconnect with their hormonal rhythms, and what happens when we stop chasing perfection and start listening to our innate wisdom.

Titus 2 teaches that older women are to live holy, steady, honorable lives and use their experience to guide younger women. They should avoid gossip, vanity, and lack of self-discipline, and instead teach what is good. Younger women, in turn, are to be sober-minded, love their husbands and children, be morally pure, run their homes well, and respect their husbands. These instructions are God's design for women of every age, leading to stability and blessing, while ignoring them leads to trouble and disappointment.

#201: Tired of feeling whiplash from dating that starts strong, then fades by month three? We're pulling the curtain back on the pattern so many women recognize: consistent texts, thoughtful questions, future talk, and then a sudden dip in energy that gets explained away as “not ready” or “let's go with the flow.” We explore why these early signals feel like intention, how they set expectations, and what to do when words and actions stop matching.We dig into the deeper wiring, too. If inconsistency felt normal in childhood, your body might confuse unease with chemistry and intensity with safety. That's why steady effort can feel boring while the rollercoaster feels alive. We also unpack a subtler trend: when emotional intimacy becomes a shortcut to closeness—asking all the right questions without the capacity to maintain real responsibility. Masks don't just fall; they expire. Around the three to six month mark, performance gives way to patterns, and that's your clearest data point.So where does that leave us? With practical choices. We're choosing actions that don't need interpretation, a steady pace over fireworks, patterns over promises, and emotional responsibility over convenience. We talk about age and accountability, why access without direction is a dealbreaker, and how to ask for structure without apologizing. Most of all, we reframe “pressure” as a request for alignment: if the reality is close connection, let the definition reflect it. Silence protects the pattern; clarity protects you.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a confidence boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. Your story matters—what pattern are you choosing to stop recycling next?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

The "premium international dating" (PID) industry, a global business often stereotyped or misunderstood, sits at the intersection of globalization, technology, and shifting cultural norms.

What does femininity look like in the Republican MAGA world?

Marisa and Scott are joined by Vox senior correspondent Constance Grady to discuss what the MAGA aesthetic is, where it came from and how it fits in with the traditional role many conservatives say women should play.  Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

Expect a kinder, gentler... more FEMININE... He-Man in the upcoming live-action movie. Maybe. The star of the movie just said that his reimagined take on He-Man is like "a handshake between masculinity and femininity."So now we really have to wonder how good this movie will be, and whether or not He-Man will be, uh, manly.

She has her MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia and her BFA in creative writing from Pratt. In 2024 she won first place in the NYC Poetry Contest, and right away, Meredith discusses her creative writing background and how it informs her teaching. We talk about so many topics in the college classroom, starting with how to spark creative conversations with our students! As a millennial/Gen Zer, Meredith has a lot of thoughts about navigating technology, especially how to capture the attention of a student population addicted to their devices. Then, Meredith addresses what it's like to be a young queer female professor and how she navigates preconceived notions that students and sometimes fellow faculty make about her. For example, how can young faculty be flexible in their policies while also maintaining structure/boundaries? And Meredith leaves us with her favorite texts and authors to teach in her literature and writing courses! We can't wait to have Meredith back on to talk about her upcoming memoir Girlhood Is the Monster Under My Bed: A Story of Femininity & Vice.Be sure to follow Meredith's Instagram, which is also the name of her Substack @stuckinm0ti0nYou can find Meredith's poetry, creative nonfiction, and indie film work on her website: https://mca2197.wixsite.com/mereditharistoneThanks to our following sponsors!

"A nation rises or falls with the virtue of its women. The degeneracy of women marks a nation's fall." That standards for godliness for the female gender are clearly stated in the Word of God. Ignorance is not the problem - most people know what the Bible says, but they have set themselves against God in this matter and chosen to stand with the ungodly world and defy God and his Word. The standards God has set down in his Word concerning the relationships between male and female are the pillar of all morality. Moral collapse is always immediately preceded by the abandoning of God-given morals concerning sex. Men and women are mutually responsible to guard one another from fornication. However, there is an obvious double-standard among almost everyone now. This message is directed to women about their responsibility in this matter. We will talk about men and their responsibility later.

In this episode, we discuss why women feel they can't find a healthy masculine man. We delve into the importance of inner frequency, specifically how women should approach finding healthy masculine men; monitoring their own mindset and energy. We discuss why some men resent their roles as husbands, fathers and providers. The episode also covers the challenges of raising boys in a society that may push them into unhealthy expressions of masculinity and offers insights on balancing discipline with love. The host shares personal experiences raising both a son and a daughter, aiming to cultivate internal safety and feminine energy in daughters while fostering resilience and strength in sons. 00:42 The Quest for Healthy Masculine Men 01:19 The Importance of Frequency and Energy in Attraction 03:13 Raising Masculine Boys and Feminine Girls 05:34 The Impact of Trauma on Femininity 06:48 Building Internal Safety and Healthy Relationships 08:45 Raising Resilient and Disciplined Boys 11:24 Empathy and Responsibility in Relationships 13:05 The Benefits of Marriage for Men 16:42 The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Negative Beliefs 20:33 Raising Children with Strong Family Values 22:35 Conclusion: Becoming an Energetic Match for Healthy Relationships Key Quotes: " You can't simultaneously hate men and think you're gonna attract a man who is going to love you because you will radiate a negative energy"  "...angry men are just wounded, sad little boys inside." " So when we think about how do we raise these healthy, masculine boys, we need to have enforced boundaries with love." " I truly believe that the success of a parent is not giving your kids all of the things you didn't have, it's teaching your kids all of the things you were never taught that radically changed your life for the better" IG: @marciacolosi | TikTok: @marciacolosi LI: @marciacolosi | FB: @marciamiatke  Ready to take your life and relationships to the next level?

Episode #1060 In this episode, Doug sits down with his wife Erin for a real, honest conversation about what happens when women feel like they have to carry everything and what shifts when they start softening back into their natural feminine energy. Erin opens up about her journey from being the "Angry Wife" to creating real connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationship. They talk about the difference between leadership and control, why so many couples get stuck in power struggles, and what actually works to bring the spark back. If you're constantly walking on eggshells or feeling like roommates, this conversation will hit home. You'll hear practical examples of what small changes look like. Things like planning the date night, opening the car door, or even just saying "Come sit with me" can shift the whole dynamic when done from a place of care instead of control. This isn't about playing outdated roles. It's about learning to create a relationship where both people feel safe, seen, and connected.

Our current mental-health and wellness systems are outdated, fragmented, and often disconnected from how the body actually heals. That's why this conversation is essential.I'm joined by Diamond King, a Sound Therapist and hypnotherapist who is redefining what holistic therapy truly means. Diamond's work shows that sound isn't just “relaxing” it's an evolved therapeutic tool that the body automatically responds to on a physiological, emotional, and subconscious level.Sound therapy shifts the brain from high-alert beta waves into the deeply restorative theta state, where clarity, release, and real transformation take place. Research shows that specific frequencies can regulate cortisol, balance the nervous system, improve sleep, boost cognitive function, and even enhance emotional processing.Through her sound journeys, realignment coaching, and decade of teaching worldwide, Diamond helps people soften their system, dissolve stored tension, and return to presence. She reminds us that stillness isn't silence it's structure, the architecture where healing finally has room to land.If you've felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself… This is the episode your nervous system has been waiting for.Click here to Connect With Diamond King https://bio.site/therealdiamondkingClick here ⁠For all things mentioned—and all things Zen Effect ⁠ Tune in live on ⁠WBNC⁠ Tuesdays at 6pm EST, also linked above.

In a world where masculinity is politicized and femininity misunderstood, Dr. Kathy Koch reminds parents that flourishing isn't about control, it's about character. Considering a recent interview where California Governor Gavin Newsom raised concern at the growing number of men who are not following his political party, Dr. Kathy and Wayne make some parallels and comparisons to how some parents fall into a similar trap with their kids. Boys and girls thrive when they understand who they were created to be, delight in God's design, and use their strength to serve, and that's what we talk about in today's podcast.
