Hey, beautiful soul! If you're a woman striving to have it all—love, life, career—and feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect, listen up. Your authenticity is your magic, and your quirks are your superpowers. It’s time to stop holding back and start shining as the real you. Because when you embrace your true self, everything else falls into place.
Recently, I attended a women’s summit and volunteered to “Be Brave” by sharing a little about myself and my business. For entrepreneurs, that moment often feels like baring your soul in a room full of powerful women—intimidating yet utterly transformative. I found myself feeling emotional and teary-eyed, but I chose to roll with it and keep speaking. One of my favorite core values—both for my life and for my team at Visionistas By Design—is “We Cry Here.”
Too often, as women and girls, we're told to hide our tears: “Don’t cry,” “Don’t let them see you sweat,” “Don’t be vulnerable,” “Don’t be weak.” Basically, we’re taught to suppress our true nature.
We are told: “Don’t be yourself.”
And that’s just NOT okay with me anymore! I believe that’s an antiquated message that we need to challenge together!! When I sit with my Inner Circle—a beautiful group of women who are leaders, entrepreneurs, sisters, and daughters—we sometimes cry. And we also laugh, dance, write, sing, create, and breathe. We connect authentically.
This is your invitation to release the energy you've been carrying from all those messages telling you what you “should” or “shouldn't” do. It’s time to embrace your true, imperfect, powerful self. It’s time to be YOU.
My Mantras for Living Authentically & Raising Your Vibe
Use these sacred messages as daily reminders—repeat them to calm your nervous system, boost your focus, lift your mood, and elevate your energy:
My authenticity is my magic ✨
My quirks are superpowers 🔥
My spirit is tranquil 🤍
These aren’t just words; they are power-packed affirmations that realign your mindset and reconnect you with your inner strength.
I talk about these messages - and more - in Episode 177 of the Empowered By Design Podcast, “Your Authenticity Is Your Magic”.
You do NOT want to miss it! I dive deep into why being honest, real, and unapologetically YOU is where true magic unfolds. Inspired by a recent Psychology Today article, “Quirks Are Superpowers,” I share how embracing your quirks—those unique traits you might have considered "weird"—can be your most potent tools for growth in life, love, and business.
Plus, I kick things off with an uplifting message from my Angel Numbers book to set your soul ablaze! 🔥
Why Your Quirks Are Your Superpowers
In a world obsessed with perfection, celebrating your authentic self is revolutionary. Your quirks aren’t flaws—they’re fierce assets! When you lean into what makes you you, you discover a well of confidence and clarity that inspires others.
Imagine this:
✨ Your quirks are your superpowers—embrace them.
✨ Authenticity isn’t just freeing; it’s magnetic.
✨ Self-awareness unlocks the door to genuine happiness and success.
✨ Your truth uplifts not just your life but also those around you.
A Little Personal Share—My Quirk
I’ll admit, I have a quirky side—that thing where I break into song randomly, even during important presentations and workshops. It’s one of the ways I bring joy and authenticity into every moment. And guess what? It has become one of my biggest strengths because it reminds me to stay real and playful, even when things get intense.
Now, I invite you: dig deep and find one of your quirks. Celebrate it! Have fun with it! Make it your superpower.
Your assignment:
Pause, reflect, and pick one quirky trait you love about yourself. Then, start celebrating it daily. Watch how it transforms your confidence and attracts the right people and opportunities.
