Welcome back. My friends to another episode of lead between the lines today, we're stepping into the very beginning of a conversation, a conversation about your power. Not the power you've built in your career. Not the power that's recognized in boardrooms or measured by accolades. I'm talking about the power that's been quietly waiting beneath all of that. The power that comes from within. The primal magnetic force that makes you unrelatable, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. And if you felt that ache, that dissonance, the subtle pole, telling you something is missing, even when your life looks full, this episode is for you. We're going to talk about what that ache really is and why it's been showing up in unexpected and even very shadowy ways. And what that means to start reclaiming the part of you that you've forgotten. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you've always been. So let's begin. Your a powerhouse. This we know we talk endlessly, especially on this podcast about the career. You've built the reputation, the life. People look at you and they see success. Confidence control, command. But there's a part of you, isn't there a part that feels off. Uh, part that whispers sometimes screams that something is missing. You've tried to name it and maybe you've chalked it up to needing a new goal, a bigger challenge, job change, or a better strategy. But deep down, you know, that's not it because no matter what you conquer the ache, doesn't go away. This episode, isn't about giving you another solution. It's about naming the truth behind the ache. It's not about what's next. It's about what you've forgotten. The part of you that makes you magnetic. Powerful and untamed. If you've been ignoring it for way too long, it might be showing up in ways you don't expect, maybe in bold fantasies. Daydreams or subtle choices you can't fully explain. So let's talk about what those really mean. You might think these thoughts are just passing distractions or something to feel embarrassed about. But let's be clear. They're not about the act or the person. These fantasies are symbolic. They represent what your subconscious is. Craving. A release from control. A reconnection to your body and a reclamation of your feminine energy. When you imagine surrendering, whether it's being bent over a desk, letting someone else take the lead or even escaping into bold, erotic daydreams, what you're really longing for is freedom. Freedom from the constant responsibility of being in charge and the never ending cycle of proving, performing and achieving. It's your mind's way of balancing the energy that you've been suppressing. You've been stuck in a cycle of masculine energy, logic control and striving. These fantasies. They're signals. They're your body's way of saying, let me feel something. Let me be instead of do. So whatever the fantasy or tension is, I want you to hear this. It's not random. And it's not something to be ashamed of. These thoughts aren't about the act or the person. And here's the fascinating part. These fantasies, these bold thoughts often have little to do with the specific scenarios playing out in your mind. As Dr. Ian Kerner explains in his research on sexual symbolism. Fantasies. Aren't always literal. They're a way for the subconscious to communicate deeper, emotional and energetic needs. So when you find yourself imagining power dynamics being ravished, letting go. It's not about the person or the place. It's about what the act represents. Surrender connection, freedom from control. And that makes sense. Doesn't it. When you've spent so long in your masculine energy, controlling, striving, achieving your subconscious binds ways to scream for balance. It's not actually asking you to act out these fantasies. It's asking you to reconnect with what they symbolize the part of you that create, feels and knows without needing to prove herself. And here's, what's fascinating. This dynamic, isn't just a female thing. Air quote. High ranking corporate men often seek surrender in a different way. Many of them turn to professionals. Dominatrix is or similar outlets. Seeking a release from the constant need to be in control. For them, it's not about weakness. It's about balance. It's their way of stepping out of their hyper-masculine energy. And finding temporary relief in the surrender. And while women may not often seek the same kind of external outlet. The root of the issue is the same living too long in one energy creates an internal ache for its counterpart. And bring you that ache shows up as fantasies, dissonance, or cravings, not for someone to dominate you. But for your own feminine energy to be seen, felt and expressed, and it's not about acting out these scenarios. It's about understanding what they mean. They're breadcrumbs calling you back to your wholeness. This is about the energy beneath the fantasy or the tension. They're signals trying to tell you something you've ignored for too long. Because for years, maybe decades, you've been living in a world that demanded you, master control a world that rewarded your logic, your structure, and your ability to lead, perform an outlast. But here's the truth. That forgotten part of you holds the key to feeling whole, without it you'll keep searching for fulfillment in places that only bring temporary relief. And here's the thing, your feminine energy. Your flow, your intuition, your ability to feel deeply didn't disappear. It just got buried under gears of doing. And now it's fighting to be heard. The fantasies. The dissonance, the ache, they mean something they're not about sex itself. I'm going to keep saying that so that you don't get confused. I am not saying that it is. There about Met needs and suppressed. Truce. When you imagine surrender your responding to an imbalance. You've been living so deeply in one type of energy, your masculine side. That the feminine side is demanding to be heard. It's asking for connection, creativity flow, and yes, even pleasure. So let's be clear. This is not about abandoning. What makes you strong? It's about integrating the part of you that makes you magnetic. These fantasies are a wake-up call from your body and your subconscious urging you to reclaim the part of yourself. That's been buried under years of doing, instead of being. Feminine energy. Isn't about softness or pacivity it's about creation. Intuition and deep connection. It's about intimacy. It's the counterbalance to the masculine energy of structure and control. And without it, you're only operating at half of your power. And what this means is you're longing for balance to feel whole. And the only way to get there is to stop suppressing what these signals are trying to tell you. The imbalance of living soul fully in one energy that the other has no choice, but to surface in ways that feel bold and even shocking. So let's start naming some of the things that could be happening. Maybe you find yourself craving the spotlight. But instead of stepping into it, you hide behind the impeccable quality of your work. Or maybe you long to be held and to be seen, not as a leader, but as a woman. But the vulnerability of asking for that feels too risky. So you bury that need entirely. Or maybe you've started dressing a little sexier under your tailored suits. Unconsciously acting out as a part of you that screaming to be noticed, not by others, but. By you. These are the ways that your feminine energy tries to get your attention. When you ignore the subtle clues, the restlessness, the craving for connection, the longing for ease. It gets louder. The fantasies, the daydreams, the dissonance. That's your body's way of saying I'm still here. Are you listening? Here's why it's so hard to recognize. The world that you've mastered, doesn't value this part of you. It tells you that logic matters more than intuition. That results matter more than rest. And that control is safer than surrender. And you've bought into it because you're good at it. You've excelled. But it came. At a cost that you've only just begun to see. The AICCU feel isn't for a new goal or achievement it's for balance. It's the part of you that you've denied because the world taught you. It wasn't important. The part of you that creates, that feels, that knows. And that's where the eight comes from. And it's not something to fix. It's something to notice to name. To allow back into your life, not as a replacement for the world you built, but as a way to finally feel whole. I want to name something else here, because this comes up a lot, especially if you are having erotic fantasies about the office, right? Like many, many, many women do. It's shame. There's a part. Have you that feels like wanting this craving, this connection, the softness, even the surrender. Is somehow weak or indulgent. Like the fantasies or the cravings. I mean. There's something wrong with you. But they don't, they mean you're alive. This isn't about giving up your edge or becoming less driven. It's about integrating parts of you that make you magnetic, intuitive, and whole. The fantasies and the dissonance, they're not distractions. They're signals. And the longer you ignore them. The louder. They'll get. So here's what I want to leave you with. Not with answers, but questions. What are these fantasies or cravings trying to tell you specifically. And if it's not about the person or act, which it generally isn't, what's the deeper message behind them. Where have you been silencing yourself, your needs, your desires, your intuition in favor of what the world expects from you. You don't have to solve this today. But what if you started paying attention? What if the next time you felt that pole, that ache you stopped dismissing it and started asking. What do I really want? What have I been craving that I've been afraid to name? Because here's the truth. The part of you that you've been suppressing, isn't gone. She's just waiting for you to notice her again. And once you start to notice, once you allow yourself to listen, everything changes. Not because you're doing more, but because you're finally. Finally allowing yourself to feel whole. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you've always been and that that's where your power lies. Before we wrap up. Let me just leave you with this. The fantasies you've been dismissing or suppressing, aren't something to be ashamed of. They're not distractions or indulgences they're breadcrumbs clues left by the part of you that you've been too busy, too controlled, or too disconnected to notice. These thoughts, these bold flashes of energy. They're not about someone else. They're about you. About the life force energy within you. That's been waiting for you to stop, pay attention and listen. This, isn't a call to action. It's a call to curiosity. To notice where the signals are showing up and ask yourself, what do I really want? What part of me have I been ignoring? Because when you start listening, Not to the noise of the world, but to the whispers of your own body and energy. You'll find a power that doesn't need validation, permiss, permission, or control. Look, I know this conversation today was not an easy one, but it's one that you needed. If this stirred something in you, if you're questioning, resisting or feeling something you can't quite name, I invite you to sit with it and let it unfold. And when you're ready, join me next time, where we'll continue exploring what it means to lead. Not just in the world, but in your own life. Until then remember the answers aren't out there. They're within. You just have to be willing to look.
