Power Without Pressure: The Truth About High-Functioning Women and Rest
Some days… I surprise even myself.
I get so much done. I move through blocks. I create, show up, lead, and feel unstoppable.
If you saw me on those days, you might think, “Wow, she must just be that kind of person.”
But I’m not.
And honestly? That version of me — the one who gets it all done — she’s not here every single day.
But she is always with me.
And the slower, softer versions of me? They matter too.
What I’ve learned through mindfulness and emotional leadership is this:
Your power doesn’t come from always being “on.”
It comes from trusting yourself to lead, whether you’re in full expression or full exhale.
Some days, you’re bursting with ideas.
Creating, connecting, dreaming big.
Other days, your nervous system needs space.
You might unplug, cry, stare at the ceiling from your bed, go for a walk, or just exist without performing.
Both are sacred.
Both are valid.
Both are part of your magic.
You don’t earn your power through productivity.
You don’t prove your worth by checking off boxes.
You don’t expand by overriding your exhaustion.
Real presence — and real leadership — comes from honoring your truth in the moment.
Sometimes the truth is: I’m doing a lot today.
And sometimes it’s: I need to do less today.
If you're in a high-energy moment, ride it. Celebrate it.
If you're in a quieter space, soften into it. Breathe. Enjoy it too.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.
If you're ready to build a life that honors both your fire and your stillness...
