Decolonizing as a woman is not just personal healing — it is political, biological, ancestral, and strategic.
A colonized society attacks women first because women hold the portal to the future, the womb of culture, the door to the memory of consciousness, the relational fabric, and the next generation.
Reversing that damage requires conscious, embodied, militant softness.
Here are eight pathways.
⸻
1. Reclaim Your Body From the Systems That Profit Off Its Pain
A colonized world trains women to see their bodies through a male, corporate, and extractive gaze.
Decolonization begins with turning your attention inward.
Practices:
• choose nourishment over aesthetic punishment
• treat your body as sacred, not as a product
• reject sexual scripts written for male adrenaline
• stop performing pain as normal
•show up physically in a way that satisfies your inner child
Your body is not a battlefield.
It’s the first sovereign land you protect.
⸻
2. Rebuild Your Nervous System — Your Internal Homeland
Colonization starts by dysregulating women so they’re easy to control.
A healthy woman must have a quiet, stable, powerful nervous system.
Practices:
• deep rest as resistance
• cutting relationships with crazy makers, and removing access from systems that drain your life force or violate your sovereignty
• trauma releasing movements
• long walks, grounding, breathwork
• cultivating slowness in a rushed world
When your nervous system is stable, you cannot be manipulated by fear, scarcity, or male validation.
That is liberation.

3. Cleanse Male-Scripted Sexuality From Your Psyche
Porn, patriarchal conditioning, and trauma train women to equate intimacy with danger and desire with pain.
Decolonization requires rewriting your sexual programming.
Practices:
• refuse sexual dynamics that activate survival mode
• build sexuality from safety, not performance
• learn your body without external scripts
• create eroticism based on choice, reciprocity, and sovereignty
A healthy woman’s sexuality is not reactive — it’s consciously constructed.
⸻
4. Reclaim Your Time From Corporations and Emotional Vampires
A colonized woman is busy.
A decolonized woman is intentional.
Your time is your power source.
Practices:
• say no without explaining
• prioritize slow mornings, slow meals, slow thinking
• remove people who drain you
• create space for thinking, dreaming, building
Colonization steals attention first, then agency.
Reclaim both.
⸻
5. Rebuild Female Solidarity — The Original Social Technology
Divide-and-conquer is the oldest colonial strategy against women.
A healthy woman restores:
• friendship
• mentorship
• intergenerational wisdom
• community care
• conflict transformation instead of silent resentment
Decolonization happens fastest in groups, not isolation.
Sisterhood is a political force. It also has to be cultivated in non-digital, non-surveilled, non-recorded environments.
⸻
6. Re-root Yourself in Land, Food, and Ancestral Rhythms
Women are the original stewards of the household economy — food, healing, rituals, seasons.
A colonized society disconnects women from the earth so they become dependent on corporations.
Practices:
• learn to grow something, even on a windowsill
• eat real, alive food
• study your ancestral herbal and medicinal practices
• regulate your life through your inner cycle, seasons, cycles, and nature. Protect that knowledge through privacy.
To decolonize your life, reconnect to the earth beneath it.
⸻
7. Protect Your Boundaries as Fiercely as a Nation Protects Its Borders
A colonized woman feels guilty for protecting herself.
A healthy woman understands that boundaries are political.
Your boundaries are your governance system.
Practices:
• stop over-giving
• stop apologizing for your needs
• remove chronic chaos from your life
• treat access to you as a privilege, not a default
Your “no” is an act of sovereignty.
⸻
8. Build a Life That Makes Exploitation Impossible
A decolonized woman doesn’t just heal — she builds structures around herself that reinforce her autonomy.
Practices:
• financial literacy
• land-based goals
• skill-building
• decentralizing income streams
• cultivating relationships with emotionally healthy people
• choosing a partner (or none) based on safety, not scarcity
You’re not just leaving the colonized world — you’re constructing an alternative.
⸻
Decolonizing as a Woman Is Not Soft — It’s Strategic
To decolonize is to:
• reclaim your body
• rewire your sexuality
• protect your time
• restore sisterhood
• reconnect to land
• build boundaries
• and create a life where you cannot be coerced
A decolonized woman is dangerous to any system built on control.
