The Illusion of Power

As women, we often fall into the belief that our power lies outside of us—out of reach, taken away, or something we must
fight to reclaim. This illusion keeps us tethered to external authority, which is
fleeting and dependent on others’ recognition.

True power, however, arises from within—a quiet, unshakable force that doesn’t need validation.

It shows up as resilience, a steady backbone, and the ability to transform environments simply through presence.

This kind of power uplifts, organizes, and brings out the best in those around us, but it cannot be given or taken—it must be claimed.
