“Most of us weren’t taught how to feel - in fact, we were taught not to feel,” says author and spiritual teacher Alexandra Roxo. “The more we try to control or retreat from feeling, the more we shrink away from some of the greatest parts of being a human: crying, laughing, creating, taking risks, and loving.” Dare to Feel explores the language of feeling and heart-opening as a transformational path, showing you that the key to connecting with yourself, others, and the world is turning toward feelings you once avoided. Through personal stories, poems, rituals, and reflective exercises, Alexandra explains how to start tapping into your spectrum of feeling in a safe and loving way. You’ll learn how you were conditioned to close down in the first place and why you continue. Then you’ll go on a journey of opening and feeling exploration - and discover how to engage with tough emotions like shame, pity, grief, and regret. As you see how the loving threads of your life intertwine, your heart will expand in ways you haven’t known since childhood. It takes courage to shed our armour - to stop checking out, overthinking, grabbing for phones, or running for the door. Yet the effort is worth it. “It is when you dare to feel, even when it hurts, that you open the heart and soul,” says Alexandra. “You become the sculptor of your reality and free yourself to experience all your life can be.”

Many modern women are fed up with the status quo that tries to put us into boxes and take away our power. With cultural movements like #MeToo and an ever-changing political climate, we can find ourselves overwhelmed by the powerful emotions and issues that are bubbling up. How do we release the trauma? Deal with the pain? Empower ourselves and move through as a culture? F*ck Like a Goddess is a road map for modern women. As a prominent voice in transformational healing and the divine feminine who has emerged stronger and wiser from her own experiences with sexual abuse, mental abuse, and body shaming, Alexandra Roxo has developed the tried-and-true methods in this book for getting beyond our cultural programming and beginning to live and "fuck" like a Goddess-metaphorically and literally. This book will guide you to see that healing, reclaiming your voice, and stepping into your full security can be magical . . . and will lead to finding power that is truly yours. As Alexandra says, "We are in need of an uprising of messy, wild women, who have reclaimed their bodies, standing in their sacred sexuality for them. We need women living from their own hearts. We need the balance between the fierce and the mindful; the Warrior Woman and the gentle, compassionate lover."
