I still can’t believe
this, but on Thursday night I had the opportunity of not only watching a live
presentation from S Factor’s Fabulous
Founder, Sheila Kelley, but I also had a
chance to sit down with her one-on-one and talk about the profound wave of femininity and sensuality that she started with her highly talked
about S Factor Fitness Classes!
I must say, at first I thought S Factor’s event was going to
be similar to all the other overtly sexy fitness fads, but it was honestly
nothing like that, and actually quite refreshing seeing the empowering message and mission
behind it. For those of you that don’t know, S Factor started because Sheila
Kelley wanted to empower women to embrace, find and identify their femininity
and sensuality, despite many of society’s messages teaching us to take on more
masculine roles and leave our true gender and biological traits behind. This
is so amazing because even though our society instills typical values such as “Big Girls
Don’t Cry,” Sheila has successfully transformed our once definition of
modern-day femininity to a more sensual, erotic and soulful meaning that she
believes every woman embodies.
When chatting with Sheila
one-on-one, I felt so connected with her and even inspired
by her passion to bring femininity back and help women all over the
world to embrace their inner sexy, sensual
sides. Check out some of the highlights from
our discussion below:
The Modern Wave of Femininity and Sexy
Me:
What
advice would you give women who are looking to be more empowered and feel more
of their inner feminine, sensual side and embrace that, but they’re having a
problem with self-esteem or self-confidence or their lacking in those
departments. What advice would you give them so they can actually start and
explore on that journey like you did?
Sheila Kelley: I think that for me, the
number one tool that women need to use that can’t get to an S Factor Studio or
can’t get a dvd, is to practice what I call the three C’s: Constantly, Consciously,
Cultivating their five feminine geniuses. Their five feminine geniuses are
those wonderful gifts that set a woman apart from a man biologically and neurologically,
and emotionally, sensually.
And when you live consciously in your body,
consciously in your curves, and your breath and your sensuality, you turn your
feminine on in a way that society has, or the world has turned it off for one
reason or another. But you want to consciously do it. You can’t just go, “I’m
gonna think my way into this”. You have to literally sit and rub your hands
together. Rub your fingers up and down your arm. Stick a deep, deep inhale of
the aroma around you. To live, to embody the moment, to embody your sensuality.
I can’t go yea I’m gonna think about it. No you can’t think about it but you
can embody it. And you have to practice it Embody the moment, embody your
sensuality. And you have to practice it. You have to practice when you walk
down the street, just syncing into your curves, syncing into your hips, glazing
in your body, lifting your curves. Your breasts should enter the room five
minutes before you and your ass needs to leave the room five minutes after you
leave it. You need to leave the feminine whiff of you anywhere and everywhere
you go.
Me: That’s
remarkable. It’s funny because we’ve been trained not to do that, like live a
certain way, behave a certain way.
Sheila Kelley: We call it miny-manning.
Me: Yes!
Sheila Kelley: We miny-man ourselves
up.
Me: I
actually graduated from Loyola last year and I took a really interesting
feminine class. It was about doing your gender and feminine gender, and sexuality
in our society and learning how to be feminine and learning how to be masculine.
And it’s just really interesting how they train us to be a certain way and act
a certain way and expect certain things of us to actually do or make our gender
and it doesn’t always fit that category. We’re all different in our own way and
there’s no way that you can just say like “you can’t be a certain way” or “embrace
who you are”.
Sheila Kelley: It’s just that we live
in an overly masculine world. And we’ve therefore cultivated the masculine
elements of who we are because that’s what’s valued in the world we live in. So
we have to reset our mind or reset the way we do it, the way we live, how we
live. It’s about how you live. Do you live mindlessly in the future? Do you live
thinking about the past? Or do you live in the feminine in the moment?
Me: It’s
funny because they teach us to be submissive towards men and let them control
us and dominant us. And I don’t believe in that. I think we’re all equals.
Sheila Kelley: We are equal in our
differences. We are uniquely different. And we are of equal value, but we’re
not the same, we are of equal value. It’s just that the feminine gifts have
been degraded. The entire culture is dying for the feminine to come and assert
herself. To bring softness back, to bring sensuality back, to bring emotions
back. We’ve been taught to curve everything that’s so beautiful about us and I’m
all about breaking that rule and resetting who and what we are.
Me: I like
that! And I also wanted to know what can we expect to see from S Factor in the
future?
Sheila Kelley: Well we’re going to be
doing more umm retreats. We’ll be doing these things called jamborees. Which is
going to be similar to what Tony Rogers does, larger groups. He does smaller
groups like mine. The retreats we do are small and intimate. We’re going to be
doing larger venues and larger groups of women. And there’s new book coming out
in the spring and it’s a way in toward a woman’s erotic creature without the
movement, and through journaling and emotionality. That’s gonna be amazing. It’s
like women all over the world without a studio will be able to define who they in
their erotic creative and will be able to find their triad through these excercises
and 12-week exercises. So that’s happening. We’re gonna to be expanding the studios.
We’re going to be franchising and licensing, and we’re just continuing to grow
in this new industry that we launched.
Me: Yes! I
like how you’re the first person and the pioneer to actually invent this as
well too and then other people just started kind of modeling and doing it
afterwards. But I like how you’re not just so much about like just sexy fitness
and just eroticism, but more so like actually helping women to see their inner
selves and embrace all of that
Sheila Kelley: Well that’s the
genesis of my passion is creating a feminine culture, creating a feminine way
of life. To be a feminine is equated to the word sexy. And to create a sexy life,
to create a feminine life is one of the richest things I’ve ever learned and ever
done is because I’m really good at it because I’m feminine but I didn’t know it
because I never cultivated my feminine before I found it.
Well Dolls
I hope you all enjoyed learning about the S Factor
experience and reading the highlights from my interview with the lovely Sheila Kelley. It was so incredible to have an opportunity to chat with her
and hear the story that inspired her mission
to promote femininity and sensuality. Sheila’s truly a woman that’s not ashamed to embrace her femininity,
show her inner eroticism and bring the real
definition of sexy back, while still empowering others
along the way.
Let’s embrace our femininity,
show off our
emotions and make sure our asses
are the last thing to the leave the room! (It’s
always best to make a lasting impression anyway right lol) Ladies enjoy
your femininity and love being sexy along the way! The girls over at S Factor are doing it, and it’s definitely
working for them.
