This article is part of a 5-article series, going into more detailed results for my Feminine Energy Quiz. I invite you to take the quiz and come back to read about your current archetype in more detail!
If you received the result of "The Nurturer", congratulations lady, you're figuring it out! Maybe you grew up with some healthy feminine role-modeling, or you're learning how to listen to that quiet, intuitive voice within you. Either way, keep it up!
This archetype reflects someone who is actively cultivating feminine energy in a caring and supportive way. You value relationships, prioritize emotional well-being, and find fulfillment in creating safe and loving spaces for yourself and others. However, you may still struggle with prioritizing your own needs.
Personality Traits can include being empathetic, generous, patient, relationship-focused, and nurturing toward others but sometimes at the expense of self-care.
The Nurturer recognizes the importance of her feminine side and may embody this more in particular roles - as a mother, wife, best friend, lover of the earth and animals. She may feel safe enough to soften around certain people, at certain controlled times only.
However many women who are in their nurturer phase can easily overlook their own needs and nurturing and become self-abandoning.
As one of my beloved teachers once said, "Your compassion is incomplete if it doesn't include yourself."
Nurturers also may tend to compartmentalize their Feminine Energy - it's welcome at home, but not a work for example. This compartmentalization can be compounded by highly-masculine workplace habits - where emotions or the mysterious women's intuition may not be welcome, or where we are expected to have the same level of productivity throughout the entire month (productivity often looks different for women, through different phases of her menstrual cycle for example).
The practices for you will be in learning how to not self-abandon, how to say No, and how to feel safe in allowing your Feminine Energy to radiate even at work or in very 'unfeminine' environments.
It is a growth edge and it is completely possible.
Nurturers may be seen by the majority culture as a standard of femininity because their Feminine Energy is apparent and palpable a good amount of the time. However, we must not set the standard in comparison to our culture, but in comparison to our Highest Potential.
How can you apply all the loving ways you provide for others, to yourself?
1. Practice Saying “Yes” and “No” with Intention
Why it works: Healthy boundaries begin with knowing your limits and honoring your priorities.
How to practice:
Before agreeing to a request, pause and ask yourself: “Does this align with my energy and values right now?”
Practice saying “no” with kindness and firmness: “I appreciate you asking, but I’m not available for that.”
Learn to say “yes” to help that feels meaningful, not obligatory.
2. Adopt a Balanced Mindset About Giving and Receiving
Why it works: Giving and receiving are reciprocal acts that maintain emotional and energetic balance.
How to practice:
Acknowledge the value of both roles. For example, when someone offers help, remind yourself that receiving is an act of trust and connection.
Consciously practice gratitude when receiving, and give with no strings attached.
Set goals to give and receive equally in relationships, even if the balance shifts over time.
3. Engage in Self-Care and Replenishment Activities
Why it works: You cannot give effectively if your emotional and spiritual resources are depleted.
How to practice:
Schedule regular self-care routines, such as meditation, journaling, exercise, or creative hobbies.
Learn to recognize signs of burnout, such as irritability or exhaustion, and take action to rest.
Invest in activities that nurture your spirit, such as spending time in nature, practicing gratitude, or connecting with a supportive community.
4. Use Visualization to Strengthen Boundaries
Why it works: Visualization can help you mentally and emotionally establish clear boundaries.
How to practice:
Imagine a protective yet permeable bubble around you, allowing love and support in while filtering out negativity or overwhelm.
During interactions, visualize yourself standing in your power while compassionately holding space for others.
Practice boundary statements like: “I need time for myself now; let’s reconnect later.”
By putting these into practice, you can start noticing where you are over-extending yourself and where you need more soul-rest.
