Conditioned by parental viewpoints and societal rules, women have long twisted themselves into unrecognizable identities to adhere to these demands—striving after power as defined by men, only to find themselves exhausted and unhappy. What if this centuries-long attempt to excel in a world with masculine values took women in the wrong direction? What if they no longer know what it means to be a woman? What, indeed, is the true nature of a woman?
I recently had a chance to do an interview with Chelsea Ann, MSN, FNP: Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, integrative medicine and women’s health practitioner, modern healer, podcast host, and author.
“The main issue on our planet is that both sexes are in competition to be male, creating more ego, greed, destruction, war, and misuse of power,” says Chelsea in her upcoming book, The Feminine Effect: Discovering Your True Nature (October 14, 2025 | Morgan James Publishing). “We do not have a balance of people living out of joy or love because outward success and needing more through gathering identifications has become everyone’s motive. Women are the ones that can change this because we are the only sex capable of fully opening our hearts. When we do this, we will open more males’ hearts and help them to drop their pride. Once women decide to stop all the doing, achieving, and outward identifications, the world will shift because the men will be affected too.”
Her mission is to take women back to their authenticity—to who they really are—through lessons drawn from her own life of extremes: poverty and wealth, fear and power, divorce and death, and finally laughter, joy, and unconditional love. Guided by the mystical teachings of her mentor Abdy Electriciteh, Chelsea uses vulnerable lessons around male and female relationships to redefine the true nature of a woman.
I had a chance to learn more in this interview.
Why is a "do it all" mentality not sustainable for women?
The nature of the female, in its primal or original way of being, is to create a family unit. And when women are not in their nature, the family system is broken. Humanity is about family, and when you have a problem in a family that you created, the next generation will have that problem too. You may be thinking of your parents and the problems that they created, or perhaps you are thinking of yourself right now.
What is a healthy family, and what is the difference between a family that is healthy and a family that is not? Most importantly: how does a family become dysfunctional? Most of us in North America have learned that dysfunction in the family caused by specific individuals is normal and we go along with the group to keep the “peace” status quo. Most individuals are not even aware that their family is dysfunctional until they are shown that there are other ways of behaving and interacting.
Who births the children to create the family unit? Women. Who can fix this dysfunction? Women. I know: I just put a lot on your shoulders, but this has been the case for a very long time through the feminist movement. Women fought to put more on their shoulders, and they did it for the sake of “equality.” Traditionally, the Western woman has been excited to take on more and more and more. The act of doing more for the purpose of equality is part of the movement of feminism and we all wanted these rights! The problem is that the act of “doing more” is essentially a male quality and it is making a lot of women sick and mentally unstable. Nothing seems to be equal in most of our households and women have distanced themselves so far from their nature that they do not know what a real woman is anymore.
Women are getting tired of doing more: they are getting tired of doing everything. This fight for equality is making women sick. I have worked in women’s health or integrative medicine for over a decade. I am not just seeing this in the clinic through infertility, chronic fatigue, addiction, and autoimmune diseases—I am also seeing it through mental illness. Not just mental illnesses in the form of anxiety and depression. I am seeing sickness and dysfunction in women arising through personality characteristics such as selfishness, extreme manipulation, entitlement, and competition. These are also forms of mental illness, and I would argue as negative as lying, adultery, or stealing. These are just a few of what I will call “contaminations” that have infected females like a virus and taken them out of their feminine nature.
I am proposing a new thought-provoking theory: these dysfunctional characteristics are a direct result of the feminist movement and the breakup of the family system that was caused by it. Women have not only taken on the careers of men, but they have also taken on previously predominantly male personality traits, and those traits have developed into a dangerous culture where being self-centered is the norm. The “working woman” is not the problem—it is the feeling of being in survival that created the imbalance. The issues discussed above clearly affect both sexes, but both sexes are birthed from women.
Extreme ambition, the need to conquer, acquire, compete, survive, fight, and protect are male characteristics. When women decided that equality meant going into competition to be equal to men (men having defined competition as success within society), we made ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually unstable. Greed and competition go against the feminine nature. For women to gain independence, they had to become financially independent to survive in a greedy society. The desire for independence as a woman is now forever linked to the need to make money to be successful. This is true for every generation, and even if that generation has enough financially, more is always better. I am going to show you that a truly independent woman is independent from what society wants of her and independent of what others think of her. She is authentic to her nature.
How do healthy women contribute to healthier families?
Redefine what success means to you and your family.
“Success simply means to One: Know yourself. Two: Know what you want to support your nature. Three: Be able to get it. If any of this is lacking, you are not successful.”
If you do not feel successful, it is difficult to be in harmony internally. Lack of the feeling of success creates the states of desperation, jealousy, and competition. It puts you in the realm of the hungry ghosts: always greedily looking for something for fulfillment, but never feeling satisfied. Success in our culture is defined by money and even the richest people usually do not feel successful internally. This is because we need to redefine what success means and create a new ideology for society (specifically women in this case, because we are the pilots). Success is all about feeling and being content with who you are and what you have. If you do not know who you are, and you are constantly looking outside yourself to define that, you cannot be truly successful.
A truly independent woman is independent of what society wants of her, independent from her conditioning, and independent from what others think of her.
Connect to your authenticity.
“Most people refuse to be authentic. Because their authentic self is not acceptable by society or their conditioning. Because it is not acceptable, we adapt and adopt ways that we think is us, but it is not. When you are authentic, then nothing else has power over you or diminishes any of your power.”
Authentic women are very powerful women. They impact everything and everyone around them because they are in integrity. These individuals tell the truth. Authentic women are in touch with their emotions, and the feelings open their heart. They take accountability for their actions and are the same person in different scenarios because they do not hold a persona to make them better than anyone else. Authentic women do not manipulate their own emotions or wellbeing to please another person, because they are aware of the destruction that manipulation causes. They are not desperate to do something outside of their nature and there is no internal struggle when it comes to saying no. Society, social media, their parents: outside influences do not hold power over authentic women.
Connect to yourself, your intuition and feelings.
Stop following others: do not look to them to know what is right for you. All of the people that you follow, and try to keep up with, hold so many contaminations and identities. It is like the blind leading the blind, as they do not know themselves either. Find your identity as a woman and the value that you bring without all of these outward achievements. When you stop looking outside yourself for how to act or what to do, you will reconnect to what truly brings you joy. When you redefine success on your own terms, you will see very quickly that the people you once followed, who are holding onto their old identities, are actually miserable people. You will see through observation all of the things that take people out of their nature on a daily basis. Begin to allow feelings to guide your life. Let your happiness define what is right or wrong, not your logic. Take a breath and say to yourself: what do I feel? The main characteristic of woman is feeling. Credit your feelings more.
What does it mean for a woman to discover her nature?
“Changing a woman back into her nature is like making the modern woman a different species altogether.”
My personal indicator that our species is evolving would be the amount of peace, harmony, health, and wellbeing experienced by the collective. Clearly, this is not what is happening. I have introduced the idea that we have gone backwards in our evolution as women and forgotten what it truly means to be feminine. Now, I’m going to take you forwards and redefine our understanding of what a woman is. Many of us have forgotten our innate gifts and the power that the feminine energy can bring to this earth, especially in terms of creating more harmony through our energy.
All the female species contribute to the female energy. All the male species contribute to the male energy. We have both of them in us. A male directly connects to male energy but does not have access to female energy directly. Females can directly connect to both. Males receive the female energy from collective females. What is happening now is we have made every female into a male. If the female human species is disconnected from their own energy, this is a natural disaster. Let’s go back to our apple tree that I mentioned some time ago. If that tree was unable to produce fruit, or if its apples were rotting on the branches but was still standing with all of its leaves, would you say it was healthy? Most women are not producing healthy fruit when it comes to both their frequency and generational legacy.
So, what is a woman like when she is in her nature?
This woman has a tremendous impact on her partner, family, and the world around her. She also works very hard! She is abundant because of her faith and connection to God, but she also has an entrepreneurial spirit. Anything she touches flourishes (because of her devotion and divinity: not only because of her entrepreneurial spirit). This is the type of woman that would not take on a career at the expense of her family unit, her own well-being, or her connection to God. She knows where her abundance comes from and why it is given to her: so that she can give back to the entire community.
Is there anything in your life, especially your career, that creates separation from your immediate (not extended) family and disconnects you from yourself? This may be a person, where you are living, a sickness, your personality, or your career. Is there something that is sucking the life force and energy out of you so that you have nothing else to give and you can no longer deeply connect with another? I believe that one of the most important attributes of a woman in her femininity is connection through relationships in the form of giving, taking, listening, and being present for another.
When you participate in activities at the expense of your connections, especially those with your children and partner, you are disconnected from the female energy. A woman in her nature receives by being connected through so many types of relationships. She is a wife, a mother, a neighbor, an entrepreneur, and a homemaker. This woman makes these relationships a priority, she serves others, and because she is doing it from her heart with no ulterior motive, she is recognized for that authenticity.
She doesn’t do this all alone though: she asks for help. There is no shame in needing help when you are managing a lot in your life. If she did not have assistance, I am sure she would be exhausted and that feeling of “doing it all alone” would weigh on her, making her resentful of everything and everyone. When you give a lot, especially at a large scale, you have to learn to receive so that you can give more. If you cannot receive yet, or do not have the ability to have help, stop doing so much: that way, you can regain your energy.
A woman in her nature is motivated by her devotion and spiritual connection. She does not fear the future or live in a state of anxiety. Where does she get all of her energy and strength from? She knows that her power is from God or Source, that this is her most important relationship, and from this all things flow. She is connected to her intuition, or she wouldn’t be able to accomplish so much and be responsible for her family at such a grand level. Her internal motivations are good and as a result, what she produces in her life is good. The authenticity of her internal world is reflected in her external world.
