I applaud Christy Whitman and Rebecca Grados new book on the divine feminine energy and the Law of Allowing. It comes in the right moment in time.

This book is powerful because it teaches you how to unleash the power you are meant to have and be who you are meant to be.
Dr. Carmen Harra, bestselling author of The Trinity of Health
Expressing the masculine was something women needed to understand the feminine and sense, at a deeper level, how powerful and fulfilling living in the feminine is. This book shows you how to BE that fully embodied woman that you are. It is a primer for those of us turning more and more to embrace this wonderful and deep aspect of our being.

Taming Your Alpha Bitch is so important. So many women, myself included, know the stress that comes from the forceful, competitive, masculine inner-drive, but true feminine strength is not that at allits wise, collaborative, receptive, creative, and intuitive. This is the true power of women. Bravo for bringing us such a book!

Introduction
Now more than any other moment in history, we as women are discovering and expressing the full magnitude of our authentic, unabashed power. After hundreds of years of biting our tongues, biding our time, and batting our eyelashes, weve finally hung up our aprons and bid farewell to the submissive damsel in distress role that has served as both an archetype and a stereotype of what it means to be feminine.
Take a look at the shifting global landscape and youll see that women are advancing to the forefront of almost every industry. We are successful entrepreneurs, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, influential leaders, and respected, contributing members of our communities. We have broken through glass ceilings, leveled career and educational playing fields, and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can generate our own prosperity. Were even taking our rightful place in politics, not only as first ladies but also as vice presidential candidates and prospective commanders in chief.
This newfound surge of power isnt confined solely to the workplace, either. Were also taking a more assertive role in our personal relationships, successfully (and often single-handedly) running our households and making key decisions on everything from child care to financial investments. We are now firmly established in territory that was strictly off-limits to us just a few decades ago; as a result, more choices and opportunities are open to us than ever before.
Yes, ladies, we have rightfully earned the social, economic, and political equality that weve been fighting for more than 100 years to achieve. And we have definitely seized every opportunity to prove that we have what it takes to succeed in a mans world (and oh, have we proved it).
