Reclaiming Your Power: A Guide to Healing and Rising
There comes a moment in every journey where you stand at the crossroads of who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. A threshold moment. A reckoning. A rising.
And in that moment, you’re faced with a choice:
Will you keep defining yourself by the pain, the past, the projections of others—
or will you remember who you truly are?
Because here’s the truth:
At some point, you must acknowledge how smart you are.
How beautiful you are.
How strong, how capable, how perfectly and divinely imperfect you are.
Not because someone else finally gave you permission.
But because your soul is done waiting for proof.
Releasing What Was Never Yours to Hold
Yes, people may have hurt you.
They may have underestimated you, silenced you, left you questioning your worth.
But their actions—or lack thereof—do not define your capacity to heal or rise.
There is no rewriting the past.
But there is reclaiming the power it tried to take from you.
That starts with letting go—not to excuse what happened, but to liberate yourself from carrying what was never meant to be yours.
Let go of what they couldn’t give you.
Let go of the story that says you are too much, or not enough.
Let go of the weight of proving.
Reclaiming What’s Always Been Yours
You were never meant to stay small.
You were never meant to apologize for your brilliance, your truth, your light.
There is a version of you—wise, whole, wildly aligned—waiting patiently for your return.
And the moment you begin to honor your worth from the inside out, you meet her.
You rise.
You take your power back.
And you begin to ascend to the heights that were always yours to claim.
Not because someone handed it to you.
But because you remembered: it was never outside of you to begin with.
Reflection Prompt:
What am I still holding onto that was never mine to carry?
What truth about myself have I been afraid to fully own?
What part of me is ready to rise now, if I let it?
All my best,
