Episode #71 – P is for Power

August 19, 2020

Many people hate the word power, and will do anything to avoid it.

I get that it has lots of negative connotations. Power can be about control and manipulation and the impact you have on others, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be about your innate ability to rise to life’s challenges and create incredible results in your own life.

If you struggle with words like “power” “powerful” and “empowerment”, this week’s episode is for you. I’m here to persuade you that when you reject the word power, you reject your own potential. You are powerful, whether you like it or not. The only question is, will you own that power and use it to create an amazing life for yourself, or will you plod through life pretending it’s not there?
