EMPOWERED WOMEN
HEAL THEMSELVES—
AND LIGHT THE WAY
FOR OTHERS.
As women, we often siphon away our energy
without even realising it. Over time, this can
lead to a loss of self and identity.
Every time we prioritise the emotions, needs, or
desires of others over our own, we give away a
piece of our energy. Every time we make
ourselves smaller, dim our light, or hold back
our emotions and words, we are unconsciously
giving permission for someone else to take a
piece of our power.
When I speak about power, I don’t mean force,
dominance, or control. I mean honouring
yourself, standing in your truth, and embodying
a deep sense of worthiness and belonging.
Here are some practical ways to begin
reclaiming your power:
Discernment with Your Health and Wellbeing
When it comes to your health, trust your
instincts. It’s wonderful to seek support from
professionals, but also remember that your
inner guidance matters too. Take advice on
board, but then check in with yourself: Does
this feel right for me? Your body and intuition
will always tell you the truth if you take a
moment to listen.
Be Discerning with Your Time and Energy
Everything is energy—people, places,
conversations, content. Some things fill your
cup, while others drain it.
Pay attention to how you feel before, during,
and after an interaction.
• Do you feel uplifted or depleted after
spending time with someone?
• Does scrolling this app or watching this show
nourish you or leave you feeling low?
• Do you feel safe and content in your
environment?
Ask yourself these questions. Then act
accordingly. Small shifts in how you spend your
time can make a big difference in how you feel.
You have the power of choice.
