How do we manage a business in a feminine way?
This morning in my embodiment practice I have stumbled upon a MASSIVE REALISATION about how as women we might build business in a way that feels hood to us, attracts the clients we want and also creates GREAT CASH (cause we want that too, right?) 💸💰
This approach is, obviously, very different to how men build businesses and make money.
I’ve been exploring the subjects of feminine/feminized/feminist economy and researching and reading different viewpoints on this (a lot of it is not very though out or grounded or makes sense) and this morning it landed for me.
Now, this might not be a massive revelation for you (it’s kind or common sense when you think about it) but it was a HUGE EMBODIED realization for me
What I realised and embodied (the difference between knowing or realizing something in your head is VERY DIFFERENT) to embodying it and, therefore, fully living it in your body.
Anyhow, what I realized is this: to build a business that feels good and brings lots of cash for me as a woman, I have to be primarily be operating from FULLNESS.
This means that when I send emails, social media posts, get on sales calls, do meetings or anything else in my business it has to come from a place of FULLNESS.
Fullness for me means being aligned with who I am and what I want.
Fullness means being in a pleasurable relationship with my work. Excited and curious about my clients, my message, my body of work. Excited to go deeper. Excited to tell everyone about it. Excited to show up. Feeling delicious and juiced up about this thing that I’m doing!
In my body this feels like liquid gold in my whole body.
And so my primary job as a feminine business owner is not to learn and apply tactics and doing things but to actually be in constant exploration of this FULLNESS. And when I’m not feeling full and excited I need to take a step back and realign and see what is this about, what doesn’t feel right and how to change and pivot and why.

Rachel came to my masterclass a few weeks ago. She's been investing in style for years. She knows her body shape. She knows her colors. She knows how to put an outfit together. And yet. Something still didn't click. After the masterclass I messaged her and asked: what's still missing? Her answer stopped me. "I realized that although I have a lot of knowledge about style, I don't really know who I am." She'd moved into retirement two years ago. Her life had shifted. And her wardrobe - full of all the right things - no longer felt like her. This is the thing most stylists won't tell you. You can know everything about style and still feel completely lost in your closet. Because the problem was never the clothes. It was the gap between who you were and who you are now. I see this with almost every woman who comes to me. A promotion. A retirement. Children grown and gone. A new relationship. A version of yourself you haven't quite caught up to yet. The wardrobe didn't fail you. The identity shift happened and the clothes didn't follow. Here's what I also told Rachel - and what I want to tell you: You don't have to spend months in therapy or years in personal development before you're "ready" to work on your style. The style discovery process is the identity work. I watched Fern - 51, kids grown, government job, secret dream of opening a yoga studio - go through this in two months. We built her a capsule on a tight budget. Maybe 10 to 12 pieces. Two weeks later she messaged me: "Anna. I think I'm finally doing the yoga studio." Not because I gave her a lookbook. Because she put on the leather pants and the blazer she'd always wanted but never gave herself permission to wear. And she saw herself differently. That's what this work does. I recorded a short 13-min audio (actually, it was a video first but I had a bunch of technical problems so now it's a podcast!) going deeper on all of this - Rachel's story, why knowledge about style isn't enough, and what actually creates the shift. If it resonates - if you recognize yourself somewhere in Rachel's story - I want you to know I have 2 spots open for 1-1 styling work right now. This is the deepest, fastest work I do. One woman. Full focus. We close the gap between who you are now and how you show up in the world. If you're ready to have that conversation, book a call with me here: https://calendly.com/annarova/discovery It's one hour. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about where you are and whether this is the right next step. Anna P.S.
