In this episode of We Are Woman, we slow power right down and ask a different question: what is power, really? Not the performative kind, and not dominance, confidence, or control, but the kind you can actually feel in your body. The kind that is steady, grounded, and quietly alive. We explore power as capacity: the ability to stay connected to yourself, your truth, your inner signals, and your boundaries while still being in relationship with the world. We speak to the ways power becomes distorted through conditioning, especially for women, how unclaimed power can turn into resentment, and why embodied power often looks like softness, surrender, and presence rather than loudness or force. Along the way, we weave in the nervous system, breath mechanics, and how early developmental stages shape our sense of agency, safety, and self-trust. This conversation is an invitation to reconsider what power feels like when it’s rooted in the body. To notice where you’ve equated power with control or performance, and what becomes possible when power is allowed to be quiet, relational, and deeply grounded. Thank you for listening to this episode. There are several ways you can work with us to deepen your own practice of returning to yourself and finding more safety, clarity and truth within.
