120. Switching Power Sources
I’ve been thinking a lot about where we look for power, especially when life feels uncertain or unstable. So much of what’s happening right now is asking us to stop relying on external sources for security and to begin building something sturdier from the inside out. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to switch power sources and why feeling powerful is less about control and more about self-trust. I explore how helplessness takes hold, why pretending to be strong doesn’t actually work, and why growth so often feels uncomfortable before it feels grounding. And I’ll share five simple practices you can start using right now to reclaim your agency, strengthen your inner authority, and become someone you can rely on, even when the world around you feels chaotic.
