You know her. She walks into the room and everyone feels her aura. She doesn’t need to be loud. The way she moves carries a self-knowing that makes people lean in.
A magnet doesn’t explain itself, second-guess itself or overextend. It simply is, and what’s for it comes to it. Some people call this being “high value,” and that still puts a price on you. A truly magnetic woman feels otherworldly, like a goddess in human form. The beautiful part is that this isn’t something only some women are born with. In this solocast I share how to be magnetic, the shift I call moving from maiden to magnetic.
1. Drop Into Your Body
The first step to magnetism is embodiment. In your head, you explain and analyze. In your body, you’re connected to your womb and your heart, and your voice carries that.
A magnetic woman isn’t afraid of pausing. She doesn’t fill every silence. I teach my embodiment students to sit energetically in their throne. Picture a queen. She isn’t perched on the edge of her seat trying to be understood. She’s leaned all the way back, patient and deliberate. She observes before she acts.
We’re living in a war on our attention, constantly penetrated by notifications, messages and bad news. Like in dating, we’re drawn to the person who isn’t chasing our attention. Your inner Cleopatra sits on her throne and, like a lioness, knows when to strike.
2. Get Comfortable in the Void
When I’ve paused instead of settling for something that would soothe my loneliness, the goddess has delivered something far greater. The key to this magnetic energy is being comfortable in the void of aloneness.
When we fear being alone, we jump into the situationship and keep the friendship that expired three years ago. The feminine knows everything moves in cycles. The flower blooms and eventually dies, and that’s sacred too.
3. Let Go Before It Turns Sour
Think of the outfits from eight years ago still hanging in your closet. Now think of the beliefs, habits and relationships you’re holding the same way. The new you can’t be born when your hands are full.
The maiden waits until things get so bad she’s forced out: a huge fight, a toxic breakup, an eviction. The queen feels the wind shift and says, it’s been beautiful, and this is the direction of my life now. She doesn’t over-explain. If your gifts aren’t fully received, they’re best given elsewhere.
4. Use the Triple E Method: Emote, Embody, Express
This is the method I use whenever I’m moving through a transition.
Emote. Put your phone down and ask how you really feel. “Anxious” is a blanket word, so go deeper. Fearful? Agitated? Then feel it for at least 90 seconds, even turn it up. When you give an emotion the mic, it’s heard and it moves on. When you ignore it, it gets louder until it becomes a panic attack or a rage you didn’t see coming. You get to be the inner mother you’ve been waiting for.
Embody. Notice where it lives in your body: black tar in your heart, a pit in your stomach, clenched shoulders. Then ask how you want to feel instead and create it physically. Stand in a powerful stance. Circle your hips. Caress your chest to open your heart. Touch your face the way you wish a lover would.
Express. Give it life. Record a voice memo, sing, dance or write a poem. This is the final stage of alchemy, turning the muck into gold. Then you feel proud of yourself, and pride becomes confidence.
You Can’t Manifest Without Embodiment
Manifestation means making something physical. What you’re actually manifesting is what lives in your body and presence right now. Vision boards feel good for a while. Embodiment is the missing link.
As I’ve transmuted denser emotions, I’ve started seeing timelines I wasn’t sure existed, like conscious men who’ve done the work and truly want relationships. Once the doubt moved out of my nervous system, I could finally see them.
5. Do Your Shadow Work
A magnetic person isn’t afraid of any part of her consciousness, so people feel safe with her. With someone who only lives in love and light, you share a watered-down version of your day. With someone who has walked through hell and found her way out, you can let your hair down completely.
I’ve had first dates tell me they’re in love with me. My friends say that doesn’t usually happen. I think it’s because I listen, ask questions and nothing they say scares me. For the first time, they feel safe without a mask. Making someone feel safe is the most magnetic thing you can do. That doesn’t mean healing or psychoanalyzing them. I’ve made that mistake with beautiful eyes and long hair.
6. Graduate From Maiden to Magnetic
The maiden wants to be swept off her feet. So many synchronicities, it must be him. That longing for love at first sight is exactly what leaves her open to love bombing. The purest light often attracts the darkest dark, and we date our own unmet shadows until we learn our power and boundaries.
The magnetic woman says, I want to know your pain. She knows the early fireworks are partly hormonal and that deeper intimacy is juicier. She also shares her own dark side from the start, instead of presenting a clean slate and hoping he can handle her wild side later.
7. Let Yourself Repel
The other end of a magnet repels. When you stand in your worth, you’ll repel people who don’t like it. Good. She isn’t trying to win a popularity contest. She’d rather drown than go back to shallow waters.
When I was about 20, I was at a dinner in London with a beautiful French actress. Everyone ordered drinks and teased her when she ordered jasmine tea. She didn’t apologize or pretend to sip anything. I remember thinking, you’re allowed to do that? We’re still friends 14 years later. Set the temperature and see who meets you there.
8. Stop Compromising Yourself at the Start
So many women start dating someone and adopt his life. He drinks, so she drinks. He stays up late, so she does too. Months later she’s lost her glow and wears baggier clothes. How you start a relationship sets its tone.
The magnetic woman says, I go to bed at this time. Come to bed with me and let’s go to yoga in the morning. If you’re already in the rut, it’s never too late. Shift how you dress, eat, move and care for yourself. Create a little space and do your own thing on the weekend. That spaciousness brings back the chase.
9. Adorn Your Energy
The music you listen to, the jewelry you wear and how you decorate your home all become how you show up. I started making my own music partly because I wanted songs that felt good in my vibration. Choose what makes you feel sensual, radiant and like a priestess, and let it move through you.
