Book Summary|The Audacity to be Queen|The unapologetic Art of Dreaming Big| Gina De Vee.





INTRODUCTION


According to Gina, the author, to be a Queen means to feel worthy, confident, expecting the very best and not settling for less.


A Queen is also a good decision-maker, has set boundaries; she allows herself and doesn’t let others dictate anything to her. Most importantly, a queen values her spiritual life.


The author explains that sadly in the world today, women are meant to put themselves last. They play the perfect role of wife, mum, daughter and are expected to be all prim and proper.


Gina notes that this has led to us women compromising our potential because we are bombarded by constant chores, other people’s needs and stress.


The conditioning in the world today is that women have been misled to believe that we can attain success in a masculine way; being overly responsible, working all the time, being logical instead of feeling.


The author's first encounter of a Queen was Queen Esther in the Bible after whom the book has been modelled as the ideal woman.


This book brings forth wisdom that will empower women to step outside the acceptable minimal way of life by giving herself permission to do more and be more as she contributes to the world at the highest level.

5 GOLD NUGGETS:



#1. Your Spiritual Foundation is Key


Gina emphasises that you need to cultivate a deep connection with God. A relationship with the creator is our driving force, safest place and our foundation.


Spirituality allows you to have full confidence in yourself. The author notes that finding and developing a spiritual connection with God is a lifelong journey, one that has its shares of ups and downs.


There will be times when you’ll go through a phase when you feel too busy, bored with prayer or only deal with God on Sundays.


When that happens, there’s always a chance to strengthen the spiritual bond.


The author states that as a woman, you’re in charge of developing the kind of relationship you want with your creator because it's your personal experience.


Having a daily spiritual connection with the creator is a sure path towards living an epic life.


If you feel resentful about this caused by past hurt because you felt that God didn’t come through, it’s best to heal and look at the process as part of your life’s journey to becoming a Queen.


Gina asserts that you should reconnect with God by speaking with Him daily and that you shouldn't box your relationship to only once a week in Church instead you can customise it.


God speaks to you using your intuition so you should learn to meditate so you can hear His word.


The author says that once you open your life to God, and with constant practise, your relationship will get better and better.





#2. Heal your feminine Wounds


Gina asserts that femininity has been shunned, talked down upon and has been shut off in both women and men, however, the difference is that men don’t really need it.


The masculine world has made all to believe that the way to get ahead is to be masculine, but at what cost?


The author says that as a result of disconnecting from our real nature; women have developed an injured feminine instinct causing women to turn to destructive ways to cope-either by being:

  1. Compliant-settling, shameful, easily embarrassed, unworthy, co-dependent, people pleaser, depressed, anxious, scattered, tired or

  2. Defiant: self-obsessed, superior, entitled, demanding, critical, harsh, know it all, taker or competitive.

It’s best to heal from the feminine wounded habits that hinder us from living full and fabulous lives.


Gina remarks that in order to restore your feminine power, you'll need to heal past wounds, open up yourself for play, creativity and saying yes to life’s abundance.


She also states that its best to view all past hurt, trauma and torture as part of the universe’s life to set you up for a legendary life.


This is how you'll get to experience high vibrational experiences in life.



#3. Seek Mentors


Gina explains that mentorship is an age-old art.


Queen Esther didn’t walk alone. She had assistance from Mordecai & Haggai who gave her advice which she followed.


The author mentions that in the ancient times, women were raised in close-knit families and received counsel from elders, both male and female on rites of passage, spirituality, relationships, cooking, parenting, survival etc.


This remains true in today's isolated world as professional guidance is necessary for navigating the modern world towards becoming your best self.


She emphasises that Tier 1 people; professional athletes, Olympians, A-list actors, Business moguls, heads of states all work with coaches, mentors, advisors, experts, so should a Queen.


Compliant women don't get help because they don't want to impose by asking for help or have not given themselves permission to invest in themselves.


Defiant women don't want to look weak or think they can handle it.


A Queen knows that expert guidance will fuel her fullest potential.


Gina reveals that areas where you need personalised support, is limitless; from your dating life, getting out of a toxic relationship, improving marriage, spiritual connection, business coaching for your passion projects & weight loss.


Mentorship is about support.


Guidance is available from people who have walked down your path and are ready to share.


They're all kinds of programs that are available from free to the high level paid ones. So whichever area is challenging, set up that appointment.




#4. Accept your royal role and step into your purpose.


Gina reveals that we've been programmed to be good women, a good wife, a good mum and a hard worker.


We’ve been taught to focus on pleasing our man, our boss, fuss over our kids, so we haven’t had the time to think about how to answer our highest calling.


She says that women need to have the courage to pursue their passions, desires and dreams.


They need to have the heart to manifest what they want rather than be a bystander watching others live the dreams that they could have. That’s because we’re all wired for greatness.


Only from a position of Queen can a woman fulfil her purpose.


Queendom gives her the power, resources, influence and confidence to play a bigger part in the world.


It’s when you accept your divine calling, get out of your head, out of your self limiting thinking and show up for her role and her people.


Gina emphasises that you should ask yourself “ What’s my such a time like this moment? And “ Who are my people? Accepting your purpose is when you become Queen.



#4. Develop Wealth Consciousness


Gina states that money stories are engraved in us from childhood.


Money shaming is the new witch burning.


Any woman who is bold enough to put herself first is a non-conformist and society tries to squelch the power and individuality of such a woman by branding her as a Bitch and being of the devil.


These have an impact on how we live our life.


The author emphasises that Queens have a healthy relationship with money and aren't slaves to finances or their job.


Money is a tool that will fund our dreams & desires therefore it flows where there’s purpose.


Making money is about being clear about who you are and what your purpose with it is from a place of certainty that will create the results you desire.


Women globally are taking back their financial power, playing it big, creating legacies and are financially wealthy.


#5.Romantic life


The author states that relationships are much easier when the empowered masculine and empowered feminine do their dance.


Once you step into Queenhood, you attract what you desire.


Gina states you need to work on yourself, be open and present to manifest your epic romance.


The masculine was designed to be in service to the feminine.


A soulmate relationship is easy, not without hurdles but can be managed by having the right dynamic between King and Queens.


She says that your soul mate exists but your injured feminine will lead you to chase the wrong kind of relationships. But when you step into your power, you’ll attract an empowered king.






Conclusion


Gina's book is about empowering women to step into their epic life by mustering the courage to step into their Queendom.


Once you manifest your fabulous life after doing the inner work, you'll start to play big and reach stardom by contributing to the world as a result of being the very best version of yourself.
