Feminine Genius with LiYana Silver

Jun 19, 2019

We all have an innate ability to connect to the collective intelligence. To be in our bodies. To feel. But these predominantly feminine qualities are seen as weaknesses in a patriarchal culture, so we disown these vital parts of ourselves. What would happen if we used intuition AND logic to make decisions? What if we could access and acknowledge the message behind our emotions? What becomes possible when we reconnect with our feminine genius?

Today, we’re joined by LiYana Silver, the mentor, speaker and author behind Feminine Genius: The Provocative Path to Waking Up and Turning On the Wisdom of Being a Woman. She supports success-minded women in waking up their body wisdom and turning on their feminine strength—in and out of the office. In her 13-plus years of private coaching practice, LiYana has worked with artists, healers, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 500 executives, and her work has been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post and Jezebel, among many other media outlets.

LiYana begins by defining feminine genius and describing the vitality and personal satisfaction that come from plugging into the wisdom of our bodies. She offers insight around accessing our intuition when it comes to business and putting pleasure before productivity to get more done and improve the quality of our work. LiYana also speaks to why competition among women is in our cultural DNA and how we can practice letting other women in. Listen in to understand the benefit of connecting to the collective soul and learn to value the core messages in emotions like anger, grief and depression.
