What You and Kamala Have In Common

August 25, 2024

Was the Dalia Lama right when he said  “The world will be saved by the Western woman.”

While it is inspiring to head into this election cycle with the real possibility of a woman becoming president, I don’t think he’s talking about Kamala Harris.

I think he is talking about you, me, and every woman on the planet.

As a woman, whether you are a Mother, Entrepreneur, Community Organizer, Teacher, Spouse, Sister, Aunt, in every area of your life, you are an important leader. Your influence has an impact on not only your inner circle but all those who are touched by your inner circle.

This ripple effect is profound.

And it all starts at home.

The question is how are you showing uup as a leader in your home, relationships and life?

Do you lead your life from authentic empowerment or fear based reactivity?

Here are a few clues to look for to know the difference.

Fear Based Reactivity looks like:

• I can’t do this! It’s just too much!
• He/She should not have said that. 
• It’s not fair!
• There’s not enough time!!!
• I don’t have a choice!
• I can handle it all, let me take care of it.

When you catch yourself thinking, saying or believing some of the above (and there are so many more limiting beliefs we hold) you are in a disempowered mindset.

Authentic Empowerment looks like:

• My life is full and I can hold it all.
• I need a stronger boundary. 
• Life is generous.
• There’s always enough time.
• I make conscious choices with my free will.
• I take care of myself so I can take care of others.

Stepping into the seat of empowerment in your life simply means becoming more self-aware and catching yourself when you fall into your conditioned fear based patterns, forgiving yourself and taking your power from love back.

I hope you will join me to embark on a journey towards authentic empowerment and remember that true leadership begins within. When you consciously choose to move beyond fear-based reactions, you reclaim your power and create a ripple effect that touches every aspect of your life. Whether you’re nurturing your family, pursuing your career, or building your community, leading from a place of inner strength and compassion not only transforms your own life but also inspires and empowers those around you. Embrace this path, and watch as your life unfolds with greater purpose, peace, and fulfillment.
