Brave action this week was deciding to opt out of a profitable contract because my motivation comes from a fear and scarcity mindset and it's not the heart aligned place I want to operate from. I keep reminding myself that I have to clear space to allow for lighter and brighter opportunities. Here's to leaning in to trusting myself and that the universe has my back - it has this far!

Fear of our own power is so relatable, as is the struggle of self forgiveness.

Power has often been associated with more negative connotations in my life, words like pain and oppression come to mind. Over the past decade I am growing to embrace my own power in my own thoughts and voice. It's fun to recognize moments of owning my own power and reflect on how I would have responded differently in the past. Some of my power goals include continuing to evolve my balance of logic over emotion and also having the level of confidence to 'own the room' in a room of my peers which is another way of saying walk confidently with purpose and without a worry about how others do or don't receive me.

@Luis Rodriguez Might it also be viewed as an investment?

I'd connect with new people in new places, create positive impact for more people, and create more income for myself. Plus, I like being valued for my skills and seen for my expertise.

It's part of the reason I'm interested in speaking beyond helping and inspiring others, to also offer opportunities to travel different and new places.

@Ambra Hubert yes!! Have you read the book ‘the art of asking’? It’s so good

@Karla Idunate Love this. Tell me more about what you teach! It's definitely a profession filled with bravery and something asked of in our students daily.
