It can be complicated to expand your personality in ways that feel genuine. Earlier in my life, I developed a masculine persona to protect parts of myself that felt too vulnerable. I experienced (external) confidence, social dominance, and some genuinely positive leadership during that time. The downside of that energy was that it was difficult to socialize in a way that allowed others to truly get to know me and connect. Eventually, I learned how to connect to my warmth, softness, and openness in social settings (some real Maiden/Mother energy!). At that time, though, I faltered a little in my confidence, leadership, and goal/action-oriented side (which dominated in the earlier phase). Now, I have learned to integrate all those traits in a way that feels empowering--tapping into the Huntress and Queen archetypes--and unique and authentic to me.
