| 0:00.0 | Nobody is going to question when a guy taps into his intuition or creativity, which are traditionally feminine traits, right? |
| 0:09.7 | They're going to say, oh, wow, that's amazing. That's so great. But the moment that a woman becomes decisive or assertive, we see so many women now saying, oh, she's too masculine. |
| 0:20.0 | What's up, guys? Welcome back to build. And today I want to talk about something that I have not |
| 0:23.9 | hit on before, which is masculine versus feminine energy in the workplace. So I want to make this |
| 0:29.5 | podcast because it's actually a question that I get all the time when I'm making a Q&A. Like when I do |
| 0:33.7 | an Instagram live, you guys are like, how do you stay in your feminine? How do you stay in your |
| 0:36.8 | masculine? I'm too masculine. I'm too feminine. And then recently I had three people actually make |

| 1:07.1 | And I think I want to offer a new perspective to you guys because a lot of you reach out to me about this. And I feel like it just needs to be fucking said. Because as a woman who I would say |
| 1:15.7 | has more masculine tendencies that are displayed publicly, I get a lot of questions about this. And I think |
| 1:22.3 | a lot of you don't have good advice coming your way. So I'm hoping that I can extrapolate this out with some of my thoughts. |
| 1:29.5 | Okay, so here's the first thing, is that when people are talking about masculine versus feminine energy, |
| 1:34.3 | I want you to remember this concept, and this is a scientific concept. |
| 1:37.5 | If you cannot define it, you cannot measure it. |
| 1:40.2 | If you cannot measure it, you don't really know what it is. |
| 1:43.8 | So how do you measure feminine energy? |
| 1:46.5 | How do you measure masculine energy? |
| 1:48.3 | It is subjective for the most part rather than objective, |
