Embracing Feminine Masculine Energy in Business and Motherhood with Petia Kolibova-Burns
“When I started to ask myself, what do I actually want? … I learned that in the past, I used to be following the path of everybody else, and I was checking off the boxes. A lot of the things that I used to do in the past was being in my masculine energy.” – Petia Kolibova-Burns
From Hustle Culture to Divine Feminine Flow
Petia shared her powerful story of transformation from someone who was constantly in masculine energy—being the provider, the protector, the one who made things happen through force and hustle—to embracing her feminine essence.
“I became the protector and the provider in a complete literal sense,” Petia explains. “When I had ex-relationships, I was the one who was paying the bills. I was the one who got my ex from losing his apartments… because I felt that feminine is weak.”
This belief led Petia to burnout. She was physically and mentally exhausted from trying to do it all from masculine energy. It wasn’t until she started questioning what SHE truly wanted and connecting with her women energy divine feminine that things began to shift.
“I became the mentor and moneymaker right now that I am from a place of feminine energy,” she says. “I started to learn about myself. Who am I? What are my desires? How do I want to do things? How do I want to run a business?”
The result? A multiple six-figure business that she runs on her own terms, working under 10 hours a week while being fully present as a mother to her 14-month-old daughter.
The Feminine Masculine Energy Balance
One of the most valuable takeaways from our conversation was Petia’s concept of the “beautiful healthy sandwich”—starting your day in soft feminine energy, stepping into masculine to get things done, and then closing your day in light feminine energy again.
This approach allows us to harness both feminine masculine energy in a way that serves us rather than depletes us. The devine feminine energy gives us the connection, intuition, and joy, while the masculine provides the structure, action, and boundaries we need to create the life we desire.
Simple Ways to Connect with Your Soft Feminine Energy as a Busy Mom
For mothers who feel they barely have time to breathe, let alone connect with their feminine essence, Petia offered these practical suggestions:
- Connect with physical sensations: Feel the warmth of your baby against your skin, the water on your body during a shower, or the texture of food in your mouth.
- Slow down, even for moments: “Even when she was lying on me or when I was changing her, I would just put my hand on her belly and I would breathe with her a little bit,” Petia shares.
- Notice where you’re receiving: The sunshine, fresh air, your child’s smile, support from your partner—receptivity is feminine.
- Release the need for perfection or consistency: The feminine is “unorganized and chaotic,” Petia reminds us. Allow yourself to be all over the place and flow with what each day brings.
- Create sacred time for yourself: Whether it’s a long shower with tea, journaling, or watching something that makes you laugh—find ways to end your day in devine feminine energy.
What Petia Wishes She’d Known Earlier
When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Petia shared:
“Stop undercharging. Start being more yourself… At the beginning of my journey, I was doing like, if I want to be successful, I got to wake up at 5 AM. If I want to be successful, I got to do 10 cold calls a week… It was so masculine, and it was like Bro-marketing.”
She emphasized learning about your unique gifts and strengths (she recommends exploring Human Design) and working with your natural tendencies rather than against them.
“Stop modeling others and do it your way because there are people who want your medicine and just you,” she advises.
Finding Your Own Path to Light Feminine Energy Balance
As moms, we often feel we must choose between our families and our dreams. Petia’s story shows us that we can have both—but not by following someone else’s blueprint.
The key is tuning into your own desires, needs, and natural rhythms. When you begin your journey from one of the types of feminine energy that resonates with you—from connection to yourself and what truly lights you up—you create a foundation that can sustain both your business goals and your family priorities.
“I created a way that I can do both,” Petia shares. “My family always has a preference. Even when I’m sometimes on interviews or even when I have a client, if I hear my baby… I’m like, ‘Hey, I got to go.’ My family comes always first, and I feel like my clients really love that about me because they know my values, they know my priorities, they know my boundaries.”
