In todays world and as a single parent or a sole breadwinner, women require qualities that before were attributed only to men, namely — leading, decision making, analyzing, accomplishing tasks, problem solving, taking risks, giving advice and controlling. Associated with action and assertiveness, this masculine energy is very important especially for those women who are building professional careers or growing their own businesses.
On the contrary, there are many successful single women who know all too well how to be headstrong, domineering and bossy but have no idea about feminine qualities — how to express love and be loved, feel, follow, listen to the voice of intuition, receive and to be open. This feminine energy is more about being in the moment and allowing things to unfold and happen.

The 21st century and the new psychological theory of Sandra Bem (American psychologist) opened a fresh and exciting paradigm revealing that masculinity and femininity are not two opposing poles, as was accepted before, but are two adaptive continuums ensuring better psychological adjustment. We all have these energies inside but at times are unable to reach them. Nowadays to be a successful woman in both arenas — personal life and professional career — it’s important to display both masculine and feminine traits, and being able to simultaneously switch gears, in other words like driving a car which adapts to existing road conditions.
Remember that changes don’t happen immediately but have to be put into practice. When tuned properly, femininity and masculinity play as one like the keys on a piano.
