010 How to Feel Like a Leader in Your Business: Empowering Feminine and Masculine Energy
Redefining Leadership: Aligning Feminine and Masculine Energy for Success
Hey there, my friend! Alexandra Harbushka here, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to another episode of the Money, Motherhood & Manifestation Podcast. Today, we’re diving into something powerful—what it truly means to be a leader and how you can embrace leadership in your business and life by harmonizing your feminine and masculine energy.
What Does Leadership Feel Like to You?
When you hear the word leader, what comes to mind? Does it make you feel empowered, or does it carry a weight that feels uncomfortable? Leadership might remind you of historical figures like George Washington, Moses, or Queen Esther—each exemplifying a unique approach to leading with courage and purpose.
To me, leadership feels aligned and inspiring. It’s about guiding others toward a shared goal, earning respect through actions and values rather than a title. But what about you? How does leadership resonate in your body?
As mothers, we are natural leaders. Whether we realize it or not, we guide our children, instilling values like love, respect, humility, and grace. In business, that leadership can take many forms, but it begins with understanding what leadership means to you.
Types of Leadership
Not all leadership looks the same. Here are some key types to consider:
Positional Leadership
This is leadership that comes with a title or rank—think of a military officer or a corporate manager. Respect is often mandated due to the hierarchy.Servant Leadership
Rooted in humility and service, this leadership style prioritizes the well-being of others. It’s about empowering and uplifting, earning respect through trust and influence rather than authority.Charismatic or Personal Leadership
Built on admiration, values, and expertise, this type of leadership naturally draws people in because of the leader’s personal qualities and vision.
Take a moment to reflect: Have you only seen leadership through a positional lens? If so, it’s time to redefine it so it feels good in your body.
The Role of Feminine and Masculine Energy in Leadership
Every one of us carries both feminine and masculine energies. The balance and interplay between these energies shape how we lead.
Healed Masculine Energy embodies freedom, purpose, structure, and confidence. It’s about action, strength, and solutions without dominance or control.
Healed Feminine Energy thrives in intuition, creativity, compassion, and connection. It’s nurturing and expressive, radiating strength through empathy and care.
However, when wounded, these energies manifest differently:
Wounded Masculine Energy can appear as aggression, ego-driven actions, or toxic independence.
Wounded Feminine Energy may look like low self-worth, victimhood, or codependency.
Recognizing where you are—wounded or healed—is the first step toward alignment.
How Do These Energies Show Up in Your Life?
Leadership starts with awareness. For example:
Are you helicoptering your kids? This might reflect wounded masculine energy, where you feel the need to control every detail.
Are you hesitant to take ownership of your business? This could stem from wounded feminine energy, where low confidence holds you back.
Your parenting style often mirrors how you run your business. The good news? You can shift these patterns by redefining leadership in a way that aligns with your truth.
Journaling for Leadership Clarity
One of my favorite tools for self-awareness is journaling. Here are some prompts to get started:
How am I showing up as a leader in my business or family?
What does leadership feel like to me?
Am I operating out of my wounded or healed energies?
Explore these questions, and give yourself grace as you uncover new insights.
Manifesting Through Leadership
When you align your leadership with healed energies, your manifestations flow effortlessly. Operating from your strengths allows you to create harmony, abundance, and ease in your life.
If you’re new to manifestation or need guidance, I have a free Manifestation Quiz that helps identify your specific manifestor type. Once you take the quiz, you’ll receive a customized PDF with tools and journaling prompts tailored to your unique energy.
Step Into Your Leadership
Leadership is not about being perfect—it’s about being intentional. As you redefine what leadership means to you, remember that you are in charge of your energy, your business, and your life.
Take a deep breath, my friend, and trust in your ability to lead with love, grace, and purpose. Let’s manifest your next level together!
With love,
Alexandra Harbushka
