The word “empowered” carries a different meaning for me now. It’s not just about feeling strong or confident; it’s about tapping into the deep, authentic energy that flows within us all. Asking myself, “What does empowered really mean?” still gives me goosebumps because, for me, those goosebumps represent the life force running through my veins, a fire within, and a profound connection to the Universe. This connection isn’t just spiritual—it’s a power source, an internal guidance system that keeps us grounded and connected to our highest selves.
Yet, I often see so many women—whether in my personal life or through coaching—feeling completely disconnected from this source of power. They’re overworked, exhausted, burned out, and overwhelmed, barely holding on to their sense of self. What happened to the vibrant, unstoppable woman they once dreamed of being? Why are so many of us chasing success, striving for more, while feeling fractured inside?
The success I had worked so hard for felt hollow, because I was disconnected from my true power. I was struggling with fear, anxiety, and deep emotional pain, all while appearing to live the dream life.
That disconnection is where the real problem lies. So many of us focus on achieving external goals without realizing that the foundation for success starts from within. We can’t sustain growth, happiness, or fulfillment if we are constantly disconnected from our true selves, from the power within us.
The turning point in my life came when I had the courage to face that inner disconnect head-on. After deep meditations, the words that came to me were "self-love". They became the start of a journey to rediscovering my true power, my connection to the energy that fuels my soul.
Empowerment starts with self-love. It’s the foundation upon which we build our lives. If we don’t have love, compassion, and care for ourselves, how can we expect to share our gifts with the world?
The path to becoming empowered begins by reconnecting with ourselves and nurturing the energy within. Only then can we truly live empowered, driven by our own internal source of power, that's where true worth comes in.
Here are the 3 steps to help you start the journey towards self empowerment.
3 Action Steps:
Start a Daily Self-Check-In: Take a few moments each day to pause, breathe, and ask yourself, "How do I feel? What does my soul need today?" This will help you reconnect with your inner power and align your actions with what truly serves you.
Create a Self-Love Practice: Dedicate time each week for a self-care activity that nourishes your soul. Whether it's a solo walk, a quiet meditation, or something that brings you joy, this will strengthen your connection to your inner power.
Identify One Limiting Belief: Reflect on one area where you feel disempowered or stuck. Write down the limiting belief that holds you back, and then reframe it into an empowering statement that aligns with your true potential.
