“She’s a powerful woman.”

What comes to mind when you read those words? Do you envision a wealthy, well-dressed woman who commands attention? Does she run a highly successful company and maintain a perfect home life? Maybe she is physically capable and strong?

For me, a powerful woman possesses emotional strength and has the courage to be herself, no matter what the circumstance. I envision a deeply feminine woman who lives life on her own terms. She creates her life, like an artist painting a masterpiece. This woman has internal power—the most priceless kind of all.

But it’s not always easy to tap into our natural, feminine strength. As women, we’ve been trained to give our power away in this world dominated by masculinity. We quiet ourselves when we want to shout. We apologize instead of express. We adhere to social rules that stifle and mute our true selves. When we do reach for power, we often model our pursuit after men and their approach.

And while we may obtain success by using this masculine model, it’s not sustainable because it doesn’t provide us with what we really need. The truth is, we don’t have to fight and compete like men to be empowered. We are the most powerful when we step fully into our feminine selves

As women, we fight to keep the pace in this busy world. We feel something is missing but do not know what exactly. Our feminine aspects are undernourished and overlooked. And with them go our essential power, peace of mind and poise.

Take a highly personal journey, where you will rediscover hidden elements of your feminine being, ripe with power and vibrancy. These include the 5 Feminine Power Virtues: Presence, Authenticity, Sensuality, Spirituality and Gratitude.

Each short chapter will explain the relevance of these virtues in your life and how they can shape a new way of existing in today’s world. This book is designed so you can easily integrate simple spiritual changes and see an immediate effect in your overall well-being.
