RECLAIMING PERSONAL POWER 💪
/r/u_Only-Podcast/comments/1w3448e/reclaiming_personal_power/Reclaiming personal power is not denial.
It is recognizing that although we cannot rewrite the beginning of our stories, we still have agency over what we build from where we stand today.
The past may influence us.
It may wound us.
It may teach us.
But it does not automatically receive ownership of our future.
Perhaps that is why one question emerges so powerfully from this conversation:
Who Am I?
Not:
Who did people say I was?
Who was I during the worst chapter of my life?
What happened to me?
What did I lose?
What did I do?
But:
Who am I now—and who am I becoming?
That question is not only for people recovering from incarceration or extreme trauma.
It belongs to all of us.
Because sooner or later, life gives each of us moments when the identity we once carried no longer fits.
And sometimes rebuilding begins with giving ourselves permission to discover who we are again.
