Smell is one of the earliest senses developed in human evolution and taps right into the limbic system and excites us on a level beyond our understanding. We literally can feel a smell much like we can taste the color. This was some random thing that was sent to me and I just wanted to share it with you and have you remember and pay attention to the smell smells around you. Pay attention to the smells of the ones you love as much as to the smell of those that maybe you don’t love so much. Smell is constantly playing a song on your brain 🧠 on your nervous system, and plucking at the strings of your heart and your deepest primal urge 🦍

What does partnership culture ask of us now? Many of us already value nurturance, collaboration, listening, and feminine wisdom - and we know that these are not second class strengths. We know the world does not need more domination dressed up as leadership. But honoring the feminine has to mean more than liking softness, intuition, or pretty words about balance. It means honoring women as equals, leaders, wisdom keepers, creators, protectors, and full participants in shaping the world. It also means asking where we still avoid conflict to keep the peace, give away our voice, dismiss strength, or repeat old power dynamics without noticing. A more balanced culture needs all of us: strong enough to listen, clear enough to speak, and mature enough to share power. Where can you honor the feminine more fully—in yourself, in women, and in the way you lead?
