The Fire Inside

An inquiry - How are we are deconditioning from more masculine ways of being and leaning into our feminine sides? How do we cultivate the new generation of empowered and awakened women the world desperately needs to come into balance?

Sara Campbell

In my dream the sacred feminine that had been suppressed and forced underground since the beginning of the Christian era was emerging now, in this current age, because we women are emerging and waking up too from the nightmare of patri archy. She is the fierce Goddess of Compassion. The Earth had kept Her safe in her belly all of these years.

Should women have to do this emotional work? Absolutely not — and most don’t have the capacity to. But my decade of being pushed to the extreme in this regard has enabled me to feel fully comfortable setting boundaries to the support I provide. In defining my own capacity, I am able to shape this skill into something that serves me.

But rather than fearing this inner knowing, as Wild Women we embrace it. We surrender to its guidance. For when we not only listen but also rely on our intuition, we know what we need, what is good for us, and what we hunger for. When we are at one with our wild and true nature, we trust ourselves. We are surefooted.

Because I prefer not to reject my critical or judgmental nature, it’s important to remember that my love for improvement is fundamentally about enhancing how good my life feels. So, if a part of me, such as my critical or judgmental nature, is trying to serve this improvement but doesn’t feel good, that means its energies are being used ineffectively. It’s not to say that improvement will always feel like glitter and sunshine (I mean, maybe it could, but my belief system is not set up for that). But if the process of improvement feels like a punishment while it’s unfolding, that’s a great sign that I need to connect with the critic inside and clarify what we need from each other. When you’re someone with high standards, your critical nature, or perfectionism, is here to help you continue to build your business the way you want. And when you form a relationship with this part of you, it’s like hiring the most genius employee you could have in your business. I find that I really love working with my perfectionist clients because when they can transform how perfectionism shows up in their business, it’s honestly dazzling. So much evolves, the interactions they have day to day, the resonance of their audiences, the quality of opportunities they receive, and so their business starts to meet their standards in a new way. The critic receives the job it was meant to have. Me pondering this inspired the Perfectionism Pods, a 1:1 offer that’s available until Sunday (you get to choose your start date, but it’s only for sale until Sunday night because it’s specially priced compared to my other 1:1 work). I posted more about it in my stories as well as the way for you to reach out and join a pod 🫛.

embracing the whole self, not just the parts you like

A woman’s issues of soul cannot be treated by carving her into a more acceptable form as defined by an unconscious culture, nor can she be bent into a more intellectually acceptable shape by those who claim to be the sole bearers of consciousness. No, that is what has already caused millions of women who began as strong and natural powers to become

self-connection shared is a measure of the joy which know myself to be capable of feeling, a reminder of my capacity for feeling.

The most important question for me is, "How do I want to spend my days?" And the answer is: I want to spend my time thinking, creating, and ideating with a small group of people to build a beautiful, creative, values-aligned business. I am not interested in 14-hour work days, back-to-back meetings that deplete my energy, can’t catch a breath to-do ... See more

is a painful loss in our emotional lives and a disastrous loss for the safety of life on earth. In woman, it affects her central identity; and in man, it affects his ability to feel and value. The loss of the feminine in man causes him to feel moody and lonely. In woman, it causes her to lose faith in herself. We are slowly awakening to the crisis
