“If somebody wants you, they will come get you!” 💯
Word!
And does everyone want to be married? I don't want to be....
AMEN! 🙌
My Father's FAVORITE QUOTE!!😎👍
I doooo
THE POWER OF WOMEN! ! !
It is amazing that there is still little talk about the book Womens magic truths on borlest, that book improved my self-confidence and taught me how to be a stronger woman, a warm recommendation :)
Divorced women have wisdom through trauma and can teach you a lot about life and avoiding red flags.
This is precisely why I share my story! Having a failed marriage is a huge lesson in life.
Very true. So can Widows.
@@Didshefeedyou If only young women would listen.
💯
“There’s nothing sexier than a man’s presence that heals.” 🔥🔥 Woooo chile
I got married 5 months ago. No sex in 20 yrs. Nevered lowered my standards. I listened to Wifey podcast for 2 yrs that helped me 100%. I waited on God. I Developed intowho I knew God said I was.
I pray you have a successful marriage.
Congratulations Queen!!!! Mrs!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for that testimony. I’ve been abstinent for 16 years and I need to hear some good news 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ lawd don’t let it be much longer 😂😂😂
This is the comment! Yes yes yes! Congrats 🥰
@@KiyokoHairstonSo am I, after my divorce I decided that am going to abstain from sex until I meet the man that is of God, love the Lord & working towards making himself & the world better. I pray that you meet the man you have asked God for! Blessings & God favor always!!
What makes me valuable: 1. I’m kind 2. Honest 3. Loyal 4. Nurturing 5. Humorous 6. Thoughtful 7. Creative and ambitious
Quality traits sis ❤
You're valuable because God made you with value!
Awesome
@nicole9261 and 8) because God made me to have value, therefore I am valuable.
That is what women are by nature! So you have value period! The should not be why a man should marry. You are not the one going after the man. The man is coming to you. It’s their nature! You have value regardless of who you are individually. Men only see your vagina is value or you being a wife(slave) a valuable. Men are deficient in nature! They have no value! So the question should be what value does a man have for him to be in your presence?
Ladies. Be you. Be who you are. You are enough, just as you are. Have firm boundaries. If someone makes you feel bad, kick em out. If someone makes you feel good, let them in. That's all you need to do.
Yes. It’s really simple.
Come on, April! A "man is much more than his wallet," and a busy man that gives you his time, that's the man you should be paying attention to." Time is extremely valuable, and when it's given without hesitation that's priceless.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Agreed with that point!
Facts! I don't play with my time either. If I give it, you know I'm feeling you.
😂😂 1:02:38 He is just Befuddled😂 the question was ... "difference between ready to be a business partner and ready to be a wife."
❤777
🎯
This the first woman on a public platform who has mentioned femininity that I didn’t role my eyes at. I felt her!
I rolled my eyes. Lol. I do like her hair.
April is the truth. I know her personally. She is great at what she does and her receipts show that her teachings work. Love her! So glad her talk resonated with you. She is amazing.
She is a genius! I have only seen 2 women approach this in a logical way that we can take away and apply without some crazy manipulative tactic.
I must've been under a rock, never heard of April. I truly enjoyed this session. Her energy/personality is infectious; reminds me of myself. I love it! She was spot on with everything she stated. Keep love alive my dear sisters!
I saw the title and rolled my eyes lol but hey thanks to this comment I might give a listen xD
April Mason is the truth. I started with her 28 days of self love. That got me all the way together. Then I joined her dating academy and it was 🔥 I got married 6 months ago all because I listened ❤
Where can I find that book?
Does she still have the 28 days of self love?
May send us the link I’m highly interested
This is a fantastic testimony! I asked my husband questions before we got married and I really listened to his answers and now we’re 2 years married this coming July 9th! Listening is so valuable.
How do you and others not know that you would have gotten married anyway? 😒
What makes me valuable?
1. I’m kind on purpose
2.I’m passionate 3. I’m constructive 4.I’m diligent 5. I’m weird 6. I’m silly 7.I’m compassionate 8.I’m tender 9. I’m gracious 10.I’m strong
Great Nugget of Wisdom from April on how to deal with situation!
1. Assess the Situation
2. Accept the Reality
3. Decide how you will move forward
Best part!
That’s what I’ve always done… at an early age i would get in trouble for it by my father, only because I was self aware even as a kid and he couldn’t manipulate me and I fought back from his abuse. Men didn’t like it either when they would try to play me.
Absolutely! You define the outcome you want for you. What others continue to do is their issue.
LISTENNNNN!!! I have listened to this podcasts a few times.
I was apart of April’s 1 “Teach Me How to Date” academy and I am going on 2 years of wedded bliss because I listened!!!!
Beautiful 💜
Whheettt? Let me sign up 😂
Congrats! ❤
And you're related to her, right?? 🤣
congratulations
Exactly! You don't know you're healed until that healing is tested. If you're alone, you feel healed because you don't have to deal with the triggers. You won't know you're healed until that trigger doesn't trigger you anymore. You can only figure this out by being in a relationship.
Period
ABSOLUTELY 💯
Exactly!!!
So true and powerful. Relationships are the venues that reveal and gauge our emotional health and healing.
Bingo!!!!
Laterras & April are PRIME example of WHY platonic relationships are important! They flow, they listen, they laugh, they disagree and learn from one in another in love. This is a friendship worth keeping even after they both get married to their respective spouses.
You can have all that too with your partner, as a base of your relationship.
Who is laterras?
@@YesItsFoxxyy the host
Platonic male/female relationships go left ALL THE TIME. Men accept platonic relationships with women who they desire, in hopes of one day getting lucky. Laterras is highly attracted to April's feminine energy. I thought he made that abundantly clear. You see his excited reaction when she puts it on. He thinks she's out of his league, but he also has questions about her that give him pause. Plus, she already made clear that she's looking for men in a certain $ bracket. Another thing that gives him pause. He'd have a relationship with her but after peeling back the layers and discovering who she is, he would not marry her either.
@@eighlaffenwright1036great points
Thank you so much for saying women will naturally submit to a real masculine energy! Hallelujah!❤
This is so true. I try to tell men this all the time. You don’t have to be Controlling to have CONTROL. If the women is in her right mind no drama she will naturally submit because it’s in us to do it but only for the right man. Submissiveness means you fell safe to let down your guard. A woman no longer feels the need to be defensive. She trust her man.
Some will...
@@gwendolynlewis5655great point because I think some people will zoom in so closely into what April said that they miss the point and begin pointing fingers at men- “see, you’re just not masculine enough for me to be feminine”
When she also said being feminine doesn’t require a man. It’s not FOR him so we should be feminine regardless to how masculine he is.
I'm writing this comment before watching the video, but passed off these responses. The "I'll submit when I find a masculine man" part. A woman should be feminine from the start. A man can't say ill be a masculine man when I find a feminine woman. That shxt ain't something you can turn on and off. No one can turn it on and off. It's either in you or it aint, for both parties.
As a young person in her early 20's I appreciated the genuine conversation, but most importantly I love the fact that she represented what timeless femininity looks like.
When April mason said sexual abuse I felt that. Especially when you are a curvy black young lady at a very young age. They don’t see you as a little girl they see you as a sex symbol. Even my own pastor sexually abuse harass me. I was fully develop by the age of 12. It didn’t matter how much clothes my mom put on me I would still get harrassed. Accused of sleeping around when I was a virgin because of my looks
So sad that men are this sexually perverted that all they see woman and girls are sex symbols
Yep, I know what you mean.💯💯💯
I experienced something similar. I was never seen as a little girl. I was told I wasn't a virgin when I was.
So sorry you had to experience that. ❤️ I pray you are well and full of joy now. And if you're not, that God cultivates that in you.
Hope you able to heal. That's crazy to hear.
".. do we leave a love legacy?" This is such a profound question... I agree that we need to leave a HEALTHY example of love in relationships for generations to come.
This got me
Absolutely
I loved this too!
Masculine energy is just as important as feminine energy. It's about balance not about burying one side. So embrace both. Both energies play critical roles in our lives.
Yup I agree, I’m doing this very thing
Ms. April's hair stylist is the bomb! Everybody can't wear short hair. 😊❤
i cant lie, ive been married a year now and implementing her advice that i heard in my single season definitely helped me being a wife today! She definitely drops gems
YAAAAS!!
This is exhausting. I absolutely love this exchange. It’s exhausting because the women who were not raised to be wives are so misunderstood. I feel like I have to erase everything I’ve accomplished through my pain to be accepted. And before anyone asks…. Yes, I’m in therapy. Thank you for doing Gods work, sir.
Elaborate on “women who were not raised to be wives”. That got me wondering what you mean cause it’s sorta ambiguous
@@msedna8664 Nice to meet you! My mother was very young when she had me. She taught me how to work. She never had healthy relationships until recent. I’m not a barbarian. I treat others as I want to be treated. My mother just didn’t teach because she didn’t know.
@@TheAshlwatRight! Being a woman and a wife is not synonymous. You have to be taught!!!!!
This this this!!
Sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the 19 minute segment, I know EXACTLY what she means about not wanting to be seen. As a survivor of sexual abuse, it makes you not want to seen, you like grow into yourself. Because being seen, may mean being victimized again and you don't feel safe. I was told I have a beautiful singing voice but because of my trauma, it takes a will to get me to stand up in front of people and sing. And still at 47, I do not like public speaking and this is a huge reason why.
May GOD BLESS 🙏 HEAL 💖 🌞 AND RESTORE YOU TO EVEN BETTER THAN NEW 🆕 & STRONG WITH WISDOM IN LIFES JOURNEY.

BIG HUGS 🤗🤗 TO YOU , AMEN 🙏!!!!!!
It's sad that this is this common! At age 40, I still won't dress up or get my hair done unless there's an event, and will wear tennis shoes or keep my tomboyish appearance at the forefront for the same exact reason. I've long ago knew I don't like to be "seen" but I don't know what to do to change this thinking. I'm struggling now because they want me to participate more in meetings etc. I rather have one on one's or send emails.
This, all of this. I too am 47 and relate completely to what you have written. ❤ scared to be seen because of who will see you and what they will do 😢
@@Moment_of_Zenask for prayers from Christians!
🫂 you’re healed
This platform is saving marriages AND individual lives!!! My husband and I are eternaly GRATEFUL for your obedience Thank you Man of God you're an amazing vessel. #27yearsNholding
Thank you so much
9T❤😊
💯✅🥰
You should watch Don and Phaedra Johnson interview ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hurt people hurt people!
Feminity is when you are Vulnerable, Honest and Genuine. 🌸
Vulnerable? Why vulnerable? You mean submissive and meek?
My mom told me I use to say at the age of 4 years old, “I bring you love.” With open arms whenever someone was upset. I thought that was so cute. ❤ Actually I still do that, I don’t like seeing people in pain.
I love that
you're a gift!!!
That’s beautiful ❤
Gorgeous🎉
I'm watching the party when you told April she was pimping based on her responses to men. She said why does her kindness mean she wants you romantically, that's the thing for me. Many men take kindness the wrong way and if you don't accept their advances they call you stuck up. I've also been told I'm flirtatious, but I'm just being kind.
As I tuned in I found myself Saying" She exemplifies such Poise and Grace with a Unique Settleness of Boldness and Confidence with Self Assuredness. She really displayed the Balance of a Feminity through her choice of words as well as her eagerness to ensure her audience understands the message as she gave thought and reflection of her journey of self discovery and Love. Lady April you have my Respect. Thank you I enjoyed.✍️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💃
As someone who has been following Ms. April Mason for three years, I’m a witness to the power of femininity she teaches. It’s not manipulative; it’s taking ownership of WHO we were designed to BE before we were stripped of our nature. I love being the Queen & the Princess. 😊 Wisdom comes from various sources. Those of us with an ear to hear & the heart to listen are benefiting from her knowledge. #ATF
Beautifully articulated
Did you take her class?
@@Dr.Thandi I attended two of April’s trainings and I’m a member of The All Things Feminine Social Club. I haven’t attended any classes.
Is she currently married?
@@lovelyone2121She is not currently married (as far as we know), but she has been married. Paul was not a married man, yet he was purposed to write the Biblical blueprint for marriage. GOD uses his people as needed, regardless of status and title. 😉
She’s so WISE!
So GIFTED!
So CALLED
So ANOINTED for such a time as this! 🙏🏽
I could listen to Miss A+ all day & all night long!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She again confirms my understanding, the enemy tries very hard to traumatize you so much when you are young because he knows if you are damaged in those specific area you can never rise to your divine calling.
Yes, to Laterras' question at the 17-minute mark, repeated sexual abuse/violation/rape is 100% spiritual. It can even be attached to a bloodline and be passed on from parents to children when it's not dealt with. Get a deliverance minister or teacher to sit on that couch.
I knew EXACTLY what she meant when she said "she didn't want to be seen." Currently working through that myself, now.
Me too and it also goes back to being sexually abused/groomed/assaulted
I was looking for this comment.. sexual abuse and generational curses (bloodline) are no joke.
I’m so proud of her being able to triumph over her abuse…Amen 🙌🏾🙏🏾
🙌🏾
This is the comment I was looking for before I said the same thing. It is definitely spiritual and people who were victims are “marked” which could lead to similar spirits on others drawing to said person to repeat the same pattern of abuse. Deliverance is key 🙏🏾
@@LadyAyoola straight facts 💯
Being in this finding your feminine journey is a journey it's not a 6 weeks process. Been on the journey for the last 4 years and I'm married but I'm finding out there is levels to this and it starts with God centered love.
It hit home when April said she was hiding behind her brand 😢. I didn’t even know I needed this ❤
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her
@EmilioYepez7 Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
@EmilioYepez7 Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
I just heard someone say, sometimes when we do all we can, it’s not always the things the other person wants us to do. So, I ask, what does she want you to do to get her back?
Scam artists thread
Did you marry her? Five years is a long time to date a lady.
When a child experience trauma without the means to resolve it, they end up magnetizing similar experiences . For some children, they don’t talk about it but it remains active in their vibration. Some children manage to talk about it but if the talking about it does not help them to process, it becomes an identity. That too will magnetize similar experiences .
Normalizing conversations that give permission to truth will help children especially to separate experiences from who they are. ❤️.
Kudos to you for showing up for YOURSELF
Thank you. I always wondered about that.
" I am the temperature".... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love that! She dropped some very informative information here for me to use out in these dating streets!
What makes me valuable? I am Resourceful, Peaceful, Legacy builder, Nurturing, Honest, Respectful and Loving. I am a woman who knows how to be a woman
🙏🏼❤️
As a single woman, this episode is for me. Thank you Laterras. God bless you and I can't wait to see you get married to your future wifey🎉🎉🎉
“Why isn’t she married?” is a valid question because it’s less about validating her advice (which I believe is good) but it actually speaks to how scarce the dating scene is for black women. You can be a great woman and do all the things, and be willing and ready for marriage yet still not be chosen by these men. And I see THIS EVERYDAY!
I second that!
Exactly! Not to mention all the spiritual warfare some women have to go through before they are even ready for marriage, fighting all kinds of generational curses in their bloodlines that they did not know about for years. This is not a one-size-fits-all thing. It’s very different for everyone.
By the way, I think this ongoing debate about femininity is so bogus. There is very little that some people can do to change the essence of who they are… femininity means different things to different people. For instance, some cultures would not consider this woman, April, to be feminine. There are also some men who prefer less feminine women. Be who you are, within reason, and you will attract the right people into your life, at the right time. This “faking it till you make it” approach to getting married will only get you so far. You may get married, but will you be able to maintain that fake persona to stay married?
Have you ever considered that she maybe she didn't want to be married during this time? I view her regularly, and recently, she said she is opening herself to being in a relationship
@@l.t.3857 Right. I know women whom most would consider masculine and happily married. Be who you are.
She isn’t married bc she wasn’t ready to remarry. She poured most of her time into her businesses and creating a legacy for the Mason name. She hasn’t experienced any type of lack when it comes to men and dating. She has displayed and been open about her dating life especially to those in her dating academy. She recently announced she’s now ready to remarry. Her daughter is taking the reigns in the business to give her the time she desires for herself and what she feels the man she’ll marry deserves.
April Mason is the Goat! Love her and her content. She’s amazing! I started my femininity journey 2 years ago because of her. After years In the Military I had become hard. She helped me reveal my true self again ❤
This episode, re-affirmed that I'm on the right track. Basking in my femininity. ❤😊
Yes honey… basking in mine for the 1st time and it feels lovely..
Me Too
It’s not manipulation, it’s marketing. Marketing is communicating value. Some marketing reps use manipulation, others simply use wisdom. Admirable marketers know how to appeal to their audience to not only get what they want, but to also serve a need, genuinely.
Everybody wins.❤
Just like religion...
@@MT-hk9cp I think it is manipulation. But, it's ok
Ms. April Mason changed my life ❤️Been following her teaching for years!!!
I appreciate your years of support!
@April Mason I broke my finger clicking on this video because you are the truth!
I know who I am! Kind! Empathetic! Grounded! Understanding! Evolving! Full of love ❤! I love my feminine energyyyyy ❤! I have been listening to feminine videos from other people first hearing this from a black woman ❤! Happy to hear this! I think it’s good to be strong and vulnerable ❤! This is why I appreciate how Esther spoke to her husband ❤!
I’ll be 68 in a few weeks so hopefully it’s not too late to tap into my feminine energy. I seek knowledge daily so that I do better than I did the day before. I’m helpful generous resourceful loving forgiving loyal always allowing Jesus to grow me into his image.
April's experience with the older gymrat gentleman was so hilarious 😂 Love her ❤ great conversation.
With respect! As mental health therapist, I encourage by people to voice what they need instead of playing games of guessing and manipulation.
Thank you, Sahara Omar.
Straight up!!! 💯
👏
❤
Facts!! Omg! Human beings are not mind readers. 🙄
2:06:51 I’m so glad that April shared this piece; This is one of the main reasons why I believe that so many people are single because they don’t know who they are beyond the physical, body, sex tricks, degrees, what society says they are and etc….No internal depth at all.
Agreed!
Awesome topic of Femininity! Please get Michelle McKinney Hammond in for a part 2, as she has written MULTIPLE books on the subject.
This is just overwhelming confirmation that I’ve healed and me resting in my femininity and how I operate as a wife is absolutely right…I was just with the wrong person. At my core I’m a wife and a large part of my purpose. Thank you LW for your podcast and I just thank God He has used you to help so many and myself! 😭 My dad instilled feminine values in me at a very young age. I had 19 years of instruction from a man POV and I’m grateful for that time.
Sis!! All of this!! My husband tells me I’m not, but when I rest in my feminine energy, he can’t get ANYTHING done! So I know I’m doing the right thing for possibly the wrong man
GIRL!!!!! You are speaking my language… I would NEVER agree to a 50/50 split. Or any other split… I wholeheartedly agree with giving men the privilege to be real men… Provide and protect… 💯💯💯
Men can be very confused. He gave a whole dissertation on how he is serious and ready to find a wife, but when a whole database of wife material was offered to him, he rebuked it 😂 shaking my head
I’m convinced they don’t really know what they want 🤷🏽♀️
And Laterrus, please do not shy away from her offer. She may be that bridge you need to find your purpose partner! 💛💛💛
I appreciate this episode so much. Having been raised by a (wonderful) single dad, there are certain feminine lessons that I simply did not learn as a child. April hit the nail on the head about the importance of women being able to identify who we are, outside of our accomplishments. Degrees and businesses are great, but a home and a life are built from a woman's heart, mind and character.
Wonderful episode! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just love her answer about the gynecologist. That was fire 🔥 ❤
False analogy...
@@drcarolyncummings2977expand more ….
This interview was awesome. April was so on point with the wisdom she shared. It is easy for us as women to lose sight of our feminine essence, when life “hardens” us, but we must get back to who God created us to be. Well done!
I want to appreciate this podcast for all the information and learning I have gotten. Before even listening to this episode, I just want to say the lessons are bitter sweet. Yes, I did stop dating because l want marriage, a husband not a boyfriend. Seven months later, l am building my inner self, my career and l have never been so focused in life. The bitter part is how open my eyes have become. I see a player a mile away. I see a man's true intention before he speaks and it's scary. It's a journey. I have faith in the process. I have faith in God and may He bless this podcast.
I hear you sis. Grateful for discernment… it’s a blessing… most women I knew didn’t have it. It’s kept me out of certain situations. The right one will come. ✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If you really think about it God has prepared each of us for marriage. Before we enter into marriage, we have relationships with our parents, siblings, friends, etc. These relationships should be honored and respected. If you can’t sacrifice your time in these relationships and be obedient to your parents first, then marriage will be difficult. You can’t enter into a marriage with a selfish heart.
Very true!
So so true, it's about the relationship you currently have. How does one maintain them.
That only speak to healthy relationships in one up bringing. Some men and women were exposed to lethal, trauma based relationships.
So good! This is something I talk to my friends and clients about. My son, family, and clients are important and I will at least get a B+ evaluation (I’m certain that I’m being modest). I'm not sure if men value the fruit of those relationships outside of themselves.
Somebody agrees with me!!! Yay family and friend connections always prepare you!
Ive listened to April for years, ive used so many things she says and realized being feminine has to be INTENTIONAL then it becomes second nature❤
Her red and black says it all.
Energy is powerful.
We are spiritual beings.
Great show Thanks
I was waiting for April to answer the question about who she is. ☹️ Some ppl need examples of that type of answer.
But it was refreshing to hear her say that femininity isn’t what we’re being sold and it isn’t about getting a man. I love that.
Even scripturally alot of what we study and know about marriage was given by revelation to an UNMARRIED man,Paul😉
EXACTLY!!!! They don't hear you!!! 💯💯💯💯
Bars‼️
True, but lets not minimize the fact that Paul was an Apostle and prophet who had a personal encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, performed miracles, wrote 2/3 of the NT under divine inspiration and received divine revelation from God. Paul was by no means a "regular" umarried man!
FACTS! THE POINT WAS TO EMPHASIZE THAT NO ONE SHOULD SHADE OR CRITICIZE APRIL FOR BEING SINGLE AND GIVING RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE ADVICE😊
We truly don't know if Paul was married then divorced or widowed. The Bible does not speak much of Paul before the conversion.
I love April Mason! She putting women on!!! If the woman is open to listen and hear! #Femininity
That part about men who claim that woman aren't submissive enough, is because a MAN does not provide that security!!! I am SOOOOO tired of hearing black men trash black women for not being submissive, they need to hear this!
April Mason is an intuitive woman to say, "I feel that energy"- hunny!
"The same way a man can be a gynecologist and he doesn't have a vagina"! Ma'am! Why are you PREACHING
This was very enlightening! Independent, self-sufficient until I was 50. Wanted to be able to "take the pants off" and have a husband who leads. Married now and realizing the transition was not as easy as I thought it would be. But I now I see that I haven't allowed myself to walk in my femininity with my husband, because I've had to be my own protector for so long. Will definitely start focusing on that because he deserves it, and so do I.
Same! Going on this journey while married is difficult
@@ExistentialGardeningsame here
I felt this!
I'm so glad April touched on sexual assault, you don't realize how many have been down this road and how it'll affect you later in life, it is so sad I'm 51 years old and never been married I feel like this has impacted my life in such a way that I didn't even realize it, Lord just help me heal and get through this, and allow someone special to love me and I am able to reciprocate that love back 💞🙏🏽
🙏🏽❤️
you will heal, God heals the broken hearted and binds their wounds. I'm excited for what God will do for you and all of us who trust Him with healing from something so awful.
@@thebravebird thank you,I believe and receive it❤️
I stand and agree with you for your healing. It’s also funny that April mentioned that she leans backwards when people get to close to her personal space that I realize I do the same thing and I’m glad she helped me figure it out ❤
@@michelemcmillan904 wow!! Right exactly , thank you Queen, you just never know how it's affecting you.. I'm so glad you're on your healing journey as well🙏🏼🙌🫶
This woman is amazing, true feminine strength especially having experienced so much childhood trauma
April is someone I find relateable. I've showed witty banter and friendliness and it's taken incorrectly. My co-workers thought I was flirting just because I said someone smelled good. 🤦♀️ That's not even a pick line, it was a compliment. If I'd said it to a woman they wouldn't say I'm flirting.
This interview is so insightful! One would "think" as a women, we should already know these things. However, FOR ME...I was taken aback and somewhat embarrassed by the fact I didn't...BUT I do now and will dig deeper in understanding more about MY "true" femininity. Go Ms. April...this is the real TEA❤ Love this!!!
Omgoodness same here!
This is by far one of the best episodes posted…. Miss April is really authentic in digging out the ingredients that make a woman tick. May she prosper beyond her widest dream and have a God ordained king to share her wealth of knowledge & understanding with. Blessings.
My ability to nurture, empower, support the ones I love. My ability to stand out or fade in the background at will. My integrity and the fact that I do not weponize my feminity and I know my worth. I know how to stand in it without overpowering. Everyone will not be complimentary and that is ok.
Oh wow this was what I needed. My femininity has been has been misplaced with the wrong men. That feeling when you get around a true Alpha male is so epic. I want to tap into my femininity more. I don't want to be so strong to protect myself. Awesome podcast!!
This woman is so natural, i just flow with whatever she says, she is authentic , she know herself and her satandards, what is for her and what is not, so charming and alluring and she dosnot even know! I just bought her IDENTITY SWITCH book from Amazon. Thanks for interviewing her 💝💝
Femininity is the first 🔑 for a woman to learn & trust herself. It's the way to a man's ❤ !! April is the truth & has a great logic in relationships, not just for women but for men also that value their relationships.
Im glad you stopped and showed compassion towards her regarding her childhood molestation. She was going to just push pass it. That was beyond needed and Im glad she received the kindness from you. God is Great abd he is a God of Restoration!!
I'm grateful to have an understanding of love. My parents displayed it openly in the most pure way.
I love Ms April Mason, she is always dropping gems and diamonds💎. She helped me so much become feminine and continue to walk in my femininity. She is the truth to help woman heal from their past traumas that cause them to not exudes their feminine energy. Thank you Laterras for this amazing podcast. Your podcasts are truly a blessing to me.
“I don’t want to be seen.” That statement there convicted me so much!
I love her explanation of her take of the 80/20 rule... well said... the beauty of knowing who you are and what you want & need
Oh my God! Such a great interview👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So many 💎!
I have no problem telling my age because I don’t look my age!
Walking in my femininity and vulnerability is better for my soul.
My daughters are learning from me how to be women.
I was raised in Russia and by my single dad (my mum died when I was 13yo).
I didn’t have the opportunity to know how real women are operating.
God bless y’all for this🙏🏾
Sending love from Alkebulan🙌🏾
Great conversation! I've just begun to feel like I'm living in my feminine at 36. It took therapy and listening in while taking notes from folks like ya'll. Got remarried in April. We have a partnership, and love that wasn't possible for me before. I see so much more the value men and women bring in their true form.
Laterras,
April is on point!! In our foundational and formative years (0-6), when a person experiences trauma, especially sexual trauma, you lose your autonomy and you are groomed to believe that you don't have the rights to disagree with the people who they are entrusted to. This is how children who experience sexual violations at such young ages become a recidivist of the abuse. Essentially, in the spiritual Realm it is like you're wearing a neon sign on your forehead saying, " I won't put up a fight. " or " I don't know I'm worthy of better." Or "I don't have the right to say NO!" Through this abuse and other forms of abuse, children are taught that the maladaptive Behavior is normal and acceptable, especially when it's coming from trusted family or friends of the family.
I'm so very proud of April! I have yet to meet a woman who like myself experience and endured that many years at sexual abuse and sexual assault. It was 13 years for me, but like April, I dedicated my adult life to therapy, braking the generational curses, and relearning who I am as a woman; my self worth, that I deserve better, and I have the right to say "NO". People do not get passes in my life to abuse or mistreat me regardless of associations or relations! Kudos April, to being a curse-breaker in your lineage ‼️💖🙌🏽💖
Thank you, brother for always be an amazing vessel for Abba to use for healing and deliverance 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽
This touched on so many things, like what a true high value man is, how a girl or woman acts when she's been abused, how to deal with triggers, trauma bonding, being in ur femininity and how to talk to ur man..... there are so many gems in this.. whew chile keep it going!!!!!!!!
Thank you Ms. April! If you want something different, you have to become something different! I have been living in masculine energy soooo long it seemed impossible for me to ever walk in femininity. On my healing journey I've realized it's my time. I love this Podcast!.
She said "i chose him based on who i was"!👏🏽👏🏽 Love the personal responsibility!! Most women blame their horrible choices in men, on the man instead of looking themselves in the mirror. Women choose badly! That sums up 75% of the game, period! If women learned how and what to choose, and were humble enough to try it, more of them would win in relationships!
so what do men blame their bad relationships on?
@@tatianadaniel3569 Usually on the crazy women they choose. But they will acknowledge they chose them! We will also acknowledge why we chose bad! Women on the other hand choose horrible guys then say all men are trash, instead of saying "all i choose is trash". You wanted that thug, so you got eerthing came wit em. 😄
"We can make the sandwiches and not be warriors" that made something clink in my spirit 🙌🏽
Great interview/conversation! Thank you Laterras for these amazing conversations with amazing insightful people. I have been divorced for many years; most divorced people I talk to say “I’ll never get married again”. I’ve never said that, because I respect & love marriage so much I’m looking forward to meeting & locking eyes with my future husband, the man I will share life with. Because of your podcast I’m intentional about being the best person I can be now so when we’re married we will be the best we can be together. Don’t listen to the people who say you’re not intentional about a relationship because of your platform!! I can hear in your voice & see in your eyes…you’re ready for marriage & to draw a red line through “future” wife! Honestly your podcast is for singles & couples❤ I pray you & your wife find each other 🙏🏿🙏🏿
first time hearing of this woman and I am infatuated. The knowledge and gems she is dropping reassures me in the way I choose to carry myself, especially after heartbreak. Looking forward to just being a great woman(whatever that entails for me) and love.
I’ve been following April Mason for many many years now. So Happy to finally see her on this platform sharing all things feminine. She is the best at it!
Sis this is how I am . I get backlash for being a traditional women but I don’t care . I standing on it. Not taking nothing less I love a man’s man’s who take pure pride in taking care his women..
This episode was sooo good to me!!! Very informative. I took NOTES like cazy. I will be revisiting this episode this weekend as a refresher!!! BRING HER BACK!!
It’s so refreshing to see a woman speak this way to an audience. I totally agree with 99.99% of what she is saying!! My marriage goals are all up and through here
Love me some Ms. April Mason! Her work has changed my entire life.
Thank you Laterras for having April unpack the sexual abuse. It would be so easy to move past such a sensitive subject
I absolutely loved this episode ❤ She is the mature version of where I desire to be. Especially with us sharing very similar childhood traumas. Now, God has healed me and is continuing to peel back layers to protect and humble me but there’s always work to do. Thank you Ms April ❤ I will be buying your book
This was great! Lots of good gems sprinkled in.
You are correct. People always get mad with me when I say I’m a woman, I’m a mother, don’t tell me happy father’s day.
She discussed so many points of what a feminine woman is or how you can become one.👍👍
