Main QuizTHEÂ HUNTRESSÂ ARCHETYPE.
You Lead With Freedom
You move. You refuse cages—literal or metaphorical. While others seek partnership, security, or belonging, you need to roam. Movement, independence, and self-reliance are your oxygen.
This isn't avoidance. This is sovereignty.
You know how to be free. You trust your own instincts, follow your own path, and refuse to be contained by others' expectations. You'd rather be alone than domesticated.
The world will tell you this is too much independence. That you're too wild, too unavailable, too unwilling to settle. That you need to commit more, stay more, let people in.
They don't understand what freedom costs.
Before you dive into your archetype, just know...
You're not too wild. You're not too independent. You're not too unavailable.
You're a Huntress. And the world needs you exactly as you are—with roots when you choose them.

You trust your instincts. You don't need external validation to know what's right. Your gut tells you, and you listen. This self-trust is rare and powerful.
You can stand alone. While others need constant companionship, you're genuinely okay on your own. This isn't loneliness—it's self-sufficiency. You're not incomplete without a partner.
You follow your own path. You don't do what you're supposed to do—you do what calls you. You've never fit the mold and you've stopped trying. Your nonconformity is your integrity.
You inspire others to be free. People watch you and remember what's possible. You give others permission to question their cages. Your freedom is contagious.
You have fierce loyalty when you choose it. When you do commit, you commit completely. Your word means something because you don't give it lightly. People know that if you're there, you chose to be.
You're not afraid to hunt. You go after what you want. You don't wait to be chosen—you choose. You don't wait for permission—you take. This is agency in its purest form.

SHADOWS
You run when you should stay. When intimacy asks for roots, you bolt. When commitment gets real, you find reasons to leave. You use freedom as a defense against being known.
You mistake isolation for independence. Sometimes you're not free—you're just alone. There's a difference between choosing solitude and hiding from connection. You confuse the two.
You sabotage what's working. When things get stable, you get restless. You'll blow up a good relationship because it started feeling like a cage. You destroy what you've built.
You wound the people who love you. You disappear when they need you. You leave without explanation. You prioritize your freedom over their feelings. People learn not to count on you.
You can't build anything lasting. Everything is temporary because you won't stay long enough to build. Your life is a series of beginnings with no middles and no ends.
You use motion to avoid feeling. When something painful needs to be felt, you move. New place, new project, new person. Movement becomes your anesthetic.

PATTERNS TO WATCH FOR
Â
MOTHERS who need you to stay They'll try to nurture you into settling. You'll feel suffocated by their care. They'll feel abandoned by your restlessness.
LOVERS who want to merge They want the intimacy you can't sustain. They'll feel rejected by your independence. You'll feel trapped by their needs.
KINGS who want to rule you They'll see your wildness as something to conquer. You'll be a trophy or a challenge, not a partner. You'll fight constantly for your autonomy.
Anyone who needs you to be home If their happiness depends on you staying put, you're already planning your exit. You need someone who has their own life.

Main QuizGROWTH EDGES: WHERE YOU'RE BEING CALLED
Integrate Lover: Feel while staying free You don't have to choose between freedom and feeling. You can be wild AND deeply connected. This is your edge. Lover energy teaches you that vulnerability isn't a cage—it's actually freedom.
Integrate Mother: Build while you roam Sometimes things need tending, not just chasing. Mother energy helps you stay long enough to nurture something. You can be free AND committed. They're not enemies.
Integrate Queen: Claim your territory You're so focused on freedom that you can forget to build. Queen energy reminds you that you can have a kingdom AND still be wild. Sometimes sovereignty means staying.
Learn to stay Your embodiment is movement, hunting, roaming. But you have to learn to stay—when it matters. "I choose to be here" can be a complete sentence. Staying isn't captivity when it's chosen.
Build capacity to be free without running This is the ultimate work. Having freedom without using it to escape. Staying wild without avoiding intimacy. Being untamed without being unreachable. You can do this. It just takes practice.
YOURÂ WORK IN THE WORLD
You teach freedom.
You remind people what it means to be truly autonomous. You create experiences—in adventure, in leadership, in breaking new ground—that show people what's possible beyond the familiar.
You build through courage and independence. You make things that challenge, that disrupt, that expand. You create possibility where there was limitation. You help people trust themselves.
This is not small work.
The world is full of people caged by expectations, trapped by fear, waiting for permission to be free. You show them another way.
You're here to roam. Fully. Fiercely. Without apology.
And when you do this with connection, with commitment when it matters, with your full heart—you change everything you touch.

Women's MembershipSOMATIC: WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
You're living primarily in sympathetic activation (movement, alertness, readiness) with strong self-regulation capacity. This is your sweet spot—mobile, alert, independent.
Your nervous system craves:
- Movement and freedom
- Challenge and adventure
- Space and autonomy
- Novelty and exploration
What dysregulates you:
- Feeling trapped or controlled (sends you into fight/flight)
- Routine without escape
- Demands for availability you didn't choose
- People who need too much from you
Your regulation pattern: You regulate through movement and space. When you're stressed, you don't want closeness—you want out. You need to move, run, escape. Space calms your system.
Your collapse looks like: Running when you should stay. Sabotaging connection because it feels like a trap. Being physically present but emotionally gone. When you can't stop leaving, you know something's very wrong.
The work: Learning to stay when running isn't appropriate. Building the capacity to be free WITHOUT using freedom as escape. Developing roots (Mother, Lover) so your wildness has a home base.
EMBODIMENT PRACTICES
Staying practice: Choose to be here Your biggest work is staying. Practice this: When you want to leave, stay five minutes longer. Not trapped—chosen. "I choose to stay right now." Practice choosing presence as freedom.
Grounding when caged: Internal freedom When you feel trapped, find freedom inside. Your breath is free. Your mind can roam. No one can cage your internal landscape. Let your body learn that you can feel free even when you can't move.
Intimacy as wildness: Connection isn't captivity When you're dysregulated and want to run, practice moving TOWARD someone instead of away. Let your nervous system learn that closeness can be chosen, not imposed.
Root without trapping: Home base Practice having a home base that you can leave and return to. Not a cage—a landing place. Your freedom expands when you have somewhere to come back to.
Daily practice: What am I running from? You get so good at movement that you forget why you're running. Every day, ask: What am I avoiding by leaving? What would I have to feel if I stayed?
Stillness as power: The hunter waits You seek aliveness through movement. But the best hunters know how to be still. Let your body experience that stillness is power, not death.
QUESTIONSÂ
Where do you run? In what relationships, situations, or dynamics do you leave when you should stay? What pattern keeps showing up?
What are you avoiding by staying in motion? Is there a feeling you're not having? A commitment you're not making? A vulnerability you're not risking? Sometimes freedom becomes the escape.
Who can run with you? Not who tries to stop you—who can run alongside? Who matches your pace without trying to slow you down OR who waits for you without resentment? This reveals your people.
What would staying make possible? If you could be wild AND committed, what would change? What would you build? What would you stop sabotaging?
When do you feel most free? This is your compass. More of this. Whatever makes you feel most alive, most yourself—this is your path.
