Episode #30 emPOWERment

Whats keeping you from true empowerment?
The other day I was having a conversation with a close friend who was sharing a difficult decision that she had to make and now was regretting it. She had called me to ask my advice –and at the time it seemed like a decision of time and money, but I realized it was much more than that, it had to do with her empowerment.

So many times,we hear others talk about the importance of being empowered but little do we know how to go about it and the deep connection it has to our soul. She had just started a business that had taken off rather nicely, and out of the blue she had gotten a call from a former employer who wanted her to do a presentation on her experience with XYZ. She hesitated, her instincts told her to say NO, she rattled off an email of her time constraints, and they came back with another date and a sweeter deal, at which time she felt guilty and couldn’t say NO.

Episode #27 PowerUP to Unlimited Possibilities

Are you Caught Up in A Power Play?
At work with a colleague or at home with a loved one?? Do you know how it started? Has it kept you up at night, or stressed you out? Or perhaps its not even with a person...maybe its with yourself and you just can't decide which direction to go in, so you're racking your brain trying to get some clarity to what it is you really want...because you're feeling a slight tinge of dissatisfaction but don't know why.
 
I can safely say I've been there in almost every area of my life at one point or another...trying to figure out how to move forward after divorce, bankruptcy, the death of family members, working for other people, to starting my own business! Boy, there were a ton of power plays going on there...but not how you might think. They weren't just dealing with my interactions with family and coworkers, they were with ME! Because truth be told, most often I was out there in my day to day life creating it by the seat of my pants!
