What is Power?
Not what they taught us.
Not what we feared.
Not what we tried to emulate, resist, or soften.
Power, as we’ve known it, is not ours.
It was shaped in systems that feared and excluded the feminine.
Measured in hierarchies.
Exercised through control.
Maintained through fear.
But we are here now.
Women who lead not to dominate, but to transform.
Women who carry vision, depth, clarity – and the courage to walk between the worlds.
Women who know:
We were never powerless.
We didn’t lose it – we gave it away.
Sometimes by choice. Sometimes under pressure.
And over time, we forgot.
But not anymore.
This book is not a manual. It is a reminder.
It is a reclamation.
Of power. Of voice. Of depth.
Of the sacred, fierce, silent presence we’ve always carried.
Welcome to the new narrative of power.
