Hey Boo!
There comes a moment- after the heartbreak, the burnout, the betrayal, when you realize that you want your power back.
Your Power. Not the kind of power that dominates or controls. But the quiet, steady, sacred kind. The power to choose, to protect your peace, to speak your truth, and to live in full alignment with who you truly are.
If you’ve ever felt like life has stomped the fire out of you, I want you to know something:
Your power was never gone. It was just waiting for you to remember it.
Here are five ways to begin that journey:
Start with Self Forgiveness
You are not weak for giving others the benefit of the doubt. Or for staying too long. Or for dimming your light in hopes of peace. Forgiveness is how you stop abandoning yourself.
I carried a lot of shame from my marriage because of the things that I allowed him to do- the things that I stayed through. The things I swept under the rug. Once I let go of the past and forgave myself for being who I thought I needed to be at the time, I was able to begin healing and gaining my power back.

Speak the Truth You Were Silenced from Saying
Reclaiming your power means using your voice even if it shakes. You don’t need to shout. You just need to honor your truth out loud. Despite how others may feel, you have the right to speak your truth. It’s not about being messy, it’s about being authentic.
Affirmation:
My voice matters. My truth is valid.
Reinforce Sacred Boundaries
Boundaries are not walls; they are bridges back to yourself. When you say no to what drains you, you say yes to your power. Your energy is sacred. Use it for things that matter to you- things you prioritize. Own your power with reinforced boundaries.
Glow Tip:
Notice where resentment builds. That’s usually a sign of a boundary needing to be set or strengthened.
Take Small Aligned Actions
Power doesn’t always roar. Sometimes power is choosing to rest when you’d normally push. Power could be going back to school, starting your business, or saying ‘yes’ to a new opportunity. Sometimes power is finally saying, I’m not doing this anymore.
Ask Yourself: What is one small, bold step I can take this week that aligns with who I really am?
Affirm Who You Are-Daily
Your inner dialogue is the soil where power either blooms or withers. Speak life into yourself on purpose.
Try this Affirmation- I reclaim every piece of me I once abandoned to survive. I am whole. I am home.
You don’t need to become someone else to reclaim your power. You just need to return to you. Piece by piece. Day by day. The most powerful version of you is the one that feels like truth.
Until next time Boo, keep Glowing…
