The Spider, the Centipede & the Divine Mother: A Feminine Path to Business
This morning, I noticed a spider crawling on my diary and work documents. Shortly after, I noticed a centipede crawling into my room here in Bali.
They weren’t just visitors. They were messengers … guides — gentle but unmistakable reminders from the natural world that I am not walking a traditional path in business. I am walking the feminine one.
Not the polished, performative version of femininity.
But the true feminine — the heart-centered, earth-connected, spirit-guided rhythm that moves through the body, not the spreadsheet.
The spider showed me I am the weaver — not of someone else’s vision, but my own.
The centipede reminded me to walk slowly, instinctively, feeling each step rather than forcing a plan.
Together, they spoke the language of the Divine Mother: Let your work be an extension of the natural world. Let it rise from the roots, not the rush.
This is not the path of performance. It is the path of presence.
For so long, I’ve supported others — quietly, behind the scenes, like the silent woman behind the man. I played the role of the helper, the holder, the one who didn’t take up space. But that story is crumbling now. And in its place, something ancient and sovereign is rising.
This path calls me — not to push or promote — but to listen. To sit with the soil. To trust my womb wisdom. To feel when something wants to be shared, not just scheduled.
The Divine Mother doesn’t rush. The spider doesn’t spin out of panic. The centipede doesn’t ask where she’s going — she simply takes the next step.
And so, I let go of the old frameworks. I release the voices that say I must be louder, faster, or more strategic to succeed.
Instead, I ask:
What wants to be created through me?
What truth is rising in my body today?
How can I bring that into my business, gently, like a leaf riding the wind?
This is a business of rhythm, not resistance. Of alignment, not algorithms. Of connection, not competition.
If you are also hearing the whisper of the wild, the soft beat of a different drum…
Know this: You are not behind. You are returning. And you do not walk alone.
You walk with the spider, with the centipede, with the Divine Mother who has never left you — only waited for you to remember.
Welcome back.
