on what they are.

But I want to ask you, because I think this is such a powerful theme in your book, Spirit Daughter, that's out now, own your power, change your life.

I want to ask you, when we seek power, because so many of us do this, when we seek power...

outside of ourselves.

And that could look like, oh, if I get this job promotion or this job title or the white picket fence and 3.5 kids or this goal weight or this person liking me or me being included in this friend group.

When we think we can get power by seeking it outside of ourselves, what happens and why do we always end up feeling unfulfilled when we do that?

Happy.

So many people get in this cycle of thinking, once I achieve that next thing, then I'll be happy.

Once I achieve the thing after that, you were in pursuit of your doctorate and you

just had this feeling that that wasn't it.

And can you describe for everyone listening, because there's a lot of people right now that are like, I'm in this relationship, but I don't know, something's off or this job or this pursuit of this, or my parents always wanted me to do this, or I always thought if I did this.

And can you talk about

steps to be able to tune in and go, is this right?

Is this an alignment for me?

Am I falsely thinking it will bring me happiness?

And how do we become fulfilled and happy inside ourselves without any of that stuff?

Because I do believe that... We need to pause for a super brief break.

And while we do, take a moment to share this episode with every single person that you know who this could inspire.

Because this conversation can truly be the words and inspiration they need to hear today to keep going, to remember that they matter, and to feel less alone and more enough to

more connected, more inspired, and more worthy.
