Today’s episode is a juicy one, as our friend LiYana Silver joins us on the podcast. LiYana is the author of the upcoming book, Feminine Genius, and she is a “torch-holder for a world-to-be in which feminine leadership flourishes and the epidemic of women self-haters has long become absurd.” She not only shares her insight on what feminine and masculine energy truly is, but LiYana also explains more about how we can embrace our own “dark night of the soul.” She also gives us powerful thoughts on motherhood, being with your emotions, and so much more.
