There’s this quiet pressure we carry—
To prove ourselves.
To be louder. Better. Smarter. More “together.”
To earn our place in rooms we already belong in.
And sometimes, even when we’re healing, we still move like we have something to prove.
But hear me when I say this:
The power you carry is not waiting on your glow-up. It already exists. Right here. Right now.
You don’t need to do more to be worthy.
You don’t need to look different to be powerful.
You don’t need a perfect plan to take up space.
I used to think confidence came with perfection.
That once I looked a certain way, healed a certain wound, or hit a certain milestone—then I’d feel powerful.
But chasing perfection only made me feel further from myself.
It took sitting in silence, stripped of the performances and the masks, to realize:
Power isn’t loud. Power is presence.
And presence doesn’t mean you have all the answers.
It just means you know who you are—even when you’re still becoming.
Let’s redefine what power really looks like:
Power is choosing yourself when no one else claps.
It’s walking into a room and not shrinking—even if your voice shakes.
It’s knowing you can pause, breathe, and still hold weight.
Power is emotional clarity.
It’s being able to say “I need a minute” without guilt.
It’s crying and not calling that a setback.
Power is not overcompensating.
You don’t need to over-explain, over-give, or over-do to be enough.
You already are.
Here’s how to access the power you already carry:
1. Anchor into your energy.
Before any big moment—interview, date, tough conversation—try this:
Stand tall. Take a breath. Place your hand on your chest.
Say: “I am already enough. I don’t have to earn this room—I am the room.”
2. Dismantle the performance.
Ask yourself: What parts of me are trying to be liked rather than seen?
Let them rest.
3. Create a “power playlist.”
Songs that make you feel like the woman you are when no one’s watching.
Let them remind you of your presence when you forget.
4. Write your own receipt.
List five moments you already showed up in power.
Moments you stood your ground. Softened without folding. Told the truth.
That’s your proof.
You don’t have to perform to be powerful.
You don’t need more credentials, more validation, or more glow.
You need more trust in what already lives within you.
Power doesn’t have to prove itself.
It just has to be claimed.
So go ahead and claim it.
Right here. As you are.
Because the power you carry?
It’s already enough.
