Something I’ve believed for as long as I can remember and have seen proved true again and again in the work I do:
We hold far more personal power and magic than most of us have ever been shown.
Not in a vague, everything-is-possible way….I mean something way more specific than that.
I mean that most of the women I work with arrive carrying a version of themselves that was shaped largely by other people’s expectations, other people’s fears, and a world that…let’s be honest…hasn’t always encouraged women to trust what they know and feel and sense.
And somewhere underneath all of that… there’s something else. Something quiet and steady and brilliantly capable.
I know this because I’ve sat across from it countless times.
I also know it because I’ve lived it.
My own understanding of my power didn’t arrive gently; it came through grief, through loss, through being cracked so wide open that something had to change. What grew in that space surprised me. It still does.
I don’t say any of this to be dramatic. I say it because I think a lot of people reading this know exactly what I mean and perhaps needed someone to say it plainly today.
You are not as small as you’ve been led to believe.
That’s all. Just that.
Let that land ♥️
