Empowered women are rarely catered to, and life after empowerment or awakening is an underserved experience, especially for women. Many expect the path of empowerment to be easier, happier, or universally celebrated, only to encounter discouragement so intense that it can make them stop themselves from fully embracing their power. This episode explores the hidden struggles of empowered women — feelings of isolation, misunderstanding, anger, not enough-ness, loneliness, and unhappiness even amid success — while tuning into the energy of prosperity.

  1. What classifies a woman as empowered and why life after empowerment is rarely acknowledged or supported

  2. The six core battles empowered women face — sense of self, anger, corruption, questioning systems, big love and generosity, and AI

  3. Practical, dignity-preserving ways to navigate these battles without shrinking, self-betrayal, or abandoning your inner authority

2 core questions to respect your empowered self

  1. Are you the first woman in your family to ______?

  2. Are you the woman or mother you would have wanted to be around when you were 6 or 7 or 9 years old?

battle of holding on to her sense of self

  1. Review the Just World Hypothesis & Projective Identification

  2. have mentors, coaches, therapists identify and help you focus on your strengths

  3. have to become your own cheerleader and surround yourself with people who see you

  4. review the 2 questions above

  5. build a beautiful home for yourself and if possible, try not to live with anyone. or get a bedroom and own bathroom

battle of anger

  1. Your self care checklist:

    1. energy release work

    2. sleep, eat, exercise, repeat

    3. grounding

    4. tune into your emotions more not less

2. Make space for an anger practice

battle of corruption

  1. Review the 2 core questions above

  2. Acceptance Ritual: accept the society you live in - drop the resistance - see it for what it is and accept - this may or may not be a problem you solve in this lifetime, atleast soem of us are not going through______

battle of questioning systems

  1. Review again the Just World Hypothesis

  2. Study patriarchy in one or more systems around you - gyms, medicine, financial systems, new age culture, friends/coworkers/community, etc. Pick a field that matters to you and just look deeper.

    • Example - look at the female hormone cycle and how it differs from what we’ve been taught about biology and how the female body has been (un)represented in the medical field.

    • Another example - focus on health more and less on looks

  3. Study the patriarchy within you

    • Example - being in a state of constant productivity

    • Another example - bigness over enough

battle of big love & generosity

  1. Tune into your creativity. Build a creative practice. Creativity is your spirituality.

  2. Be in places where there is a structured service

  3. Speak up in spaces and places where your voice is welcome

  4. Asking for reciprocity

    • moving away from the mindset of ‘if they wanted to, they would’.

  5. Read Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron

battle of ai

  1. Take care of your heart too. Tune into your emotions. Open back up. Build heart stamina. Take intimacy risks (safely).

    • Example - dogs, poetry slam, a woman who does ‘rejection therapy’. etc

until next time,

may you stop being afraid of your hard earned fire and may you start to warm yourself by its flames instead
