Traits of a Wildly Capable Woman

Something I’ve noticed about treating ‘Wildly Capable’ women is that most of them don’t know they are! I don’t know what vision you have when you think of a Wildly Capable Woman, but I imagine it’s something like superwoman, a CEO, Presidents, Princesses,  Political leaders or world influencers. But the truth is, it’s so much more and every woman I have treated over the last 12 years can say they are Wildly Capable. Just in case you’re unsure if this is you, here is my checklist…

 

A Wildly Capable Woman is…

Curious

Pros – she asks questions, explores patterns and ideas and wants to understand everything

Cons – but she can sense being frustrating to others, overly alert to being lied to, she finds it hard to trust

 

Deeply Resilient

Pros – she has been through challenges and knows she can do hard things

Cons – she finds it hard to ask for help and accept help

 

Self Aware

Pros – she knows her patterns, her impact on people, the way she’s perceived in the world

Cons – she’s highly critical of herself and others, tired and needs more support in body wisdom and innate needs

 

Intelligent

Pros – she’s able to understand concepts easily and educate others

Cons – she takes over tasks and is hypercritical of the way other people do things

 

Courageous

Pros – she’s scared but she moves forward anyway

Cons – she can easily be blinded by the goal and lack balanced judgements. She’s easily prone to burnout

 

Resourceful

Pros – she’s great at research and looking for solutions

Cons – she lacks discernment in the most support approaches and prone to burnout

 

Independent

Pros – she walks her own path, in her own way

Cons – she is difficult to help, struggles to include others in decision making processes, finds it hard to trust others, she is prone to burnout

 

Determined

Pros – she is unwavering in her dream and purpose

Cons – she finds it difficult to surrender, to move with the flos

 

A Planner

Pros – she is always organised, other people lean on her skills

Cons – she is unable to be comfortable in uncertainty. She loses her creativity and joy when waiting for certainty, she’s prone to burnout

 

Highly Sensitive

Pro – she’s aware of others needs, feels deeply and can connect and empathise well with others

Cons – she can feel overwhelmed by other’s energy and emotions. She doesn’t prioritise rest and self care. She’s prone to burnout 

 

Deeply Loving

Pro – she loves her friends, her family, her life

Cons – she can attract the wrong people, experience jealousy from others and feel burnout by their needs. She can find it difficult to say no to others and yes to herself

 

How many of these traits feel true for you? Support for you requires an understanding that whilst you can do it all on your own, you don’t need to. Asking for and accepting help is ok and it might actually be the key to helping you fall pregnant, improve your relationships and prepare you for motherhood. 

 

As a Wildly Capable Woman myself, I get it. I would love to support you.
