Let’s tap into your power

Women and gender expansive individuals have been told what we cannot do so often and for so long that some of us unwittingly believe we are not capable. For me, that insidious voice started at my kitchen table one hot summer day when I was 5 years old. Despite a lifetime of railing against it, I continue to hear it whisper to me half a century later.

Here is what I want you to know:

It is not your fault.

You are not crazy.

You are not too emotional.

You are STRONG.

Your emotion and intuition are a source of limitless power. In your quiet moments, you know this to be true because you feel it in the fierce passion that roils in your core.

You are a life force with power beyond measure.

I hope the stories published here will help you recognize and understand the counter-forces that have sought to trap that power inside you.

It’s time to tap into it.
