In this episode I talk to Tiana Tefy about the power of feminine leadership. We discuss how it is not about gender, it is about how leaders choose to connect with themselves and others.
Introduction
Tiana was born and grew up in the beautiful island of Madagascar and has had the great fortune to have lived in different countries and had had a varied career.
She holds a PhD in Mathematics and worked for about two decades in the field of aerospace research. She also trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and practiced QI GONG and Meditation for over 2 decades. Tiana started teaching QI GONG 20 years ago and when she started to share the energy practices of QI GONG, she quickly realized there was very little support for women to experience their menstruation, pregnancy, post-partum, menopause, post-menopause or sexuality with ease and grace.
As a result, she decided to dedicate her work to help women unleash and harness their inner feminine power and bring it into all aspects of their life.
