Empowerment: The Complete Collection
It starts with restlessness
I wonder if it started this way for you, the path to waking up. To realizing that there was something more waiting for you than what you had been told, or seen, or believed. To seeing a glimmer of light in a crack of your life, creating an opening into your womanhood. Perhaps you started

You can do anything, but not everything
We still talk endlessly about balance or our lack there of. We struggle with the juggle. We are exhausted. In many cases we have thrown our hands up in the air, dropped our heads in despair, and figured that we would just have to settle for this life, unsatisfactory as it feels, because this is

The antidote to fear
Fear is a contraction. Fear wants you to stay stuck. It wants you to think about all of your mistakes, the skills you don’t think you have, the reasons your ego tells you shouldn’t take the next right step. Fear wants to strip you of any self confidence you have, because it knows that you

You are not your numbers. Not the number on your paycheck. Or the hourly rate you charge your clients. Not the number of followers you have on social media. Or the number of likes your posts get. Not the amount of money in your bank account. Or the amount of debt you owe. You’re not

How much pain do you want?

Who do you want to be?

What empowerment actually means
I was on a new women’s website recently checking out what the coming business was all about. I’m endlessly fascinated with women start ups, especially when they are to do with women’s lives, careers, businesses and empowerment. In the letter from the editor, she stated clearly right up front that this site and business was

Speak truth to power
Rachel was sitting in her boss’s office. A mid level manager doing great things in her company, and with an impeccable reputation, an issue had arisen. One of her team had made a complaint about her. It was a pretty serious complaint detailing how this person thought she misbehaved as a manager and listing pages
