The Power Circle

Your weekly retreat for reflection, empowerment, and inspired action.

Hello, Beautiful,

I hope your week has been fruitful, and filled with moments of joy. I’m evolving this newsletter to include elements that feed your ambitions and inspire reflection.

Muses and Thoughts: Shifting from Doing to Being

I begin my day with meditation. Sometimes it is 5 minutes and my goal is an hour. I realize medaiton has been a huge part of my healing journey. In my meditation today, a powerful question surfaced: Who do I want to be?

So often, we ask ourselves or others, What do you do? or What do you want to do? But this shift from doing to being brought a new perspective that’s deeply intriguing. Being is about the essence of who we are. No matter what we do, our way of being is always there.

The question that became clear is , "Who do I want to be?" I pondered the question and after about 10 minutes the answers flowed easily:

• I want to BE kind.
• I want to BE abundant.
• I want to BE joyful.

And then came the next question: What do I need to do to BE those things?​
This reflection reminded me that we are human beings, not human doings. Just being is enough.

Take a moment today to ask yourself: Who do I want to be?​

Your Power Statement: A New Possibility Awaits

Affirmations are a cornerstone of my work. Every journal I create includes a space to explore affirmations because they unlock imagination and creativity.

This week’s Power Statement is from my journal, Audacious AF:

​
​I AM OPEN TO NEW POSSIBILITIES AND ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES.

Say this affirmation aloud every morning this week in the mirror. Speak it boldly. Write it down. Watch how it shifts your energy and invites new possibilities into your life. Journal what comes up for you.

Let me know how it feels for you, I’d love to hear!

Reflections in Ink: Writing Your Truth

Storytelling is our superpower. Telling our story is healing and empowering. It releases shame, and guilt and builds connection. With technology on the rise, human connection is more important than ever. In business it is essential. People don't just want to know what you do, they also want to know who you are. I have made it the foundation of my upcoming coaching program, The Power Story. I’ll be teaching women how to build, share, and monetize their stories.

As we close this year and step into 2025, I’ve committed to writing more, and I’d love for you to join me. Each week, I’ll offer you a journal prompt to inspire you to slow down and reflect.

This Week’s Prompt:​
​My biggest desire is to be...

Take five minutes daily to write and complete this thought. Your truth is waiting to be uncovered.

Friday Vibes: Music for Your Soul

Music is a constant source of joy, so you can imagine how much fun I had reviewing my Spotify Wrapped this year. Beyoncé claimed my top spot. I might be a member of the Beyhive. I was surprised even after two months of non-stop listening to Cowboy Carter! Yee-Haw

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tasha LaRae, lead singer of the legendary hip-hop group Arrested Development. We talked about her journey from Nebraska to singing on stages to millions around the world. I am sharing one of my favorite songs. Turn it up and get your groove on.

As we move into a new era it’s more important than ever to focus on what truly matters to you. Whatever your big dream is, go for it.

Business Insights: Writing Your Expertise into a Book

Here’s a simple yet powerful idea to move your business forward: Write a book.

1. Pick one idea that’s contributed to your success.
2. Break it into five actionable steps.
3. Make each step a chapter.

And voilà—you’ve created a book that positions you as an expert in your field. Books offer credibility that TikTok trends can’t compete with. Unless you want to dance on the TOK daily. lol

Think about it. What’s the one idea you’re ready to write about? Hit reply and share your brilliant book idea with me. I’d love to hear it!

Final Words:

We are in a time of high emotions and changes. I encourage you to focus on your dream, your circle of friends, and enjoying your family. Being together will have new meaning in 2025.
