From His Rib is a growing collection of articles about reconnecting with your womanhood.
You’re an accomplished modern woman. Maybe you’re tired of feeling alone, or perhaps you’ve hit every milestone but something is still missing. This is your push to finally listen to the little voice inside and challenge the narrative you’ve been holding onto so tightly.
Welcome to you—and to the life that will finally begin to make sense the more you scratch this itch.
When it comes to embracing femininity, the goal isn’t to reinvent yourself overnight. It’s about tuning into what’s already there. If you try to take on everything, you’ll likely feel overwhelmed and drop it all, but if you start with one simple shift, it’ll come naturally.
So choose just one that resonates with you. Practice it. See how it feels. You don’t need to rush—true changes grow over time.
First, listen to your gut. You know that quiet, persistent nudge you sometimes feel? That’s your intuition speaking. Try listening without second-guessing. Pause and ask yourself, “What feels right here?” Trusting your instincts is a small way to connect with your own inner wisdom.
Or maybe try to relax your body. Notice any tension in your shoulders or jaw? Unclench, release. Letting go of tension in your body can ease your mind, too. Femininity isn’t about force—it’s about flow. Soften, breathe, and let your body reflect that natural softness.
Or, practice receiving. It could be as simple as accepting a compliment without brushing it off or allowing someone to help you. We’re so used to giving that receiving can feel uncomfortable, but letting others give to you can be a surprisingly meaningful step toward femininity.
Another way is to slow down. Don’t rush through your day, racing from one thing to the next. Allow yourself to be in the moment, even if it’s just while drinking your morning coffee or taking a short walk. Femininity embraces presence over productivity, so take your time.
Finally, appreciate beauty. It can be in nature, a favorite outfit, or even a beautiful meal. Enjoying beauty in simple moments brings a softness and sense of gratitude that’s deeply connected to feminine energy.
Start small. Choose one. These small shifts can lead to powerful changes in how you feel and how you show up in the world. Femininity isn’t something you earn—it’s something you gently allow.
