Part III: Case Study Stories from Women Who Repaired Their “Women’s Empowerment Erosion” ❤️🩹✨📝
In Part I of this article, we identified the signs and symptoms women executives and entrepreneurs experience when you’ve lost touch with your full, radiant and creational energy, essence and power.
In Part II, I offered a general roadmap of next steps you can take to begin to explore and address the “women’s empowerment erosion” in your own life for yourself.
Now in Part III—let me share some stories about how it’s gone for me and others since implementing this approach and solution to repair and reverse the “women’s empowerment erosion” and reclaim our feminine energy as women leaders, revolutionaries, and change-markers.
Story/Case Study 1: From Burnout to Radiance
One of my clients, a successful executive, came to me feeling completely exhausted and disconnected from her own life. She was constantly pushing, achieving, and performing, but she felt an underlying sense of emptiness—like she was living someone else's dream, not her own, but couldn’t stop living it.
After we worked together to slow down, reconnect with her intuition, and redefine/remember her beliefs around feminine energy and power, we spent time exploring what truly brought her joy and pleasure. And then I challenged, guided and supported her in embodying that, in her real life, every day. Within weeks, she noticed a massive shift:
Her energy levels increased (including her libido 🌹)
She felt more creative and aligned in both her career and personal life.
She started attracting new opportunities that felt more authentic to her values.
Not only did she recover from and prevent falling into full on burnout, she also felt empowered and radiantly alive again, leading from a place of ease and magnetism, instead of effort and force.
She exclaimed “life actually feels magical now, Ash, and you know I’m not into all that woo-woo stuff!”
As you can imagine, that made me smile and laugh because every woman is, and is full of, magic.
Story/Case Study 2: Embracing the Flow, Letting Go of Perfection
Another client, a business owner, felt trapped in the "doing" mode of her life.
She’d built a thriving online business that was meaningful and changing her customers’ lives, but it as at the cost of her relationships, her connection with her feminine essence, and her trust in herself. As a result, she was addicted to overworking and began to fall out of love with her work, and her life.
After we began incorporating daily practices and belief system changes to cultivate pleasure, creativity, ease, trust, and embodying her deep and innate wisdom, she experienced a profound transformation:
Her team began to support her more deeply, freeing her up to focus on innovation and expression rather than constant oversight and product delivery.
Her relationships became more balanced, as she allowed herself to be vulnerable and receive support.
She felt more joy and playfulness in her work because her mindset changed and she held more faith and trust, which led to increased revenue and a stronger connection to her vision.
She felt more peace and contentment, which helped her realize how aligned she already was on her path and didn’t need to overhaul her life and business, but to simply release what no longer served.
She felt safe, grounded, and radiant enough to open to the romantic gestures of interest men were already sending her way that she’d previously rejected, ignored or just didn’t even register as interest.
This shift from force to flow, and activated feminine energy, was the catalyst for both personal and professional growth, with ease.
Story/Case Study 3: The Power of Receiving
This one is even more personal…because it’s my own story and journey.
One of the most profound changes I’ve seen in this approach was my own in learning how to receive without guilt.
As a first generation, high-achiever and entrepreneur, I was constantly giving to others but never allowed herself to receive compliments, help, or love. Even when I did, I’d quickly brush past them and move on to what’s next to accomplish while shifting nervously in my seat.
I couldn’t trust people’s intentions were authentic, because I didn’t trust myself, and therefore rejected anything that could be a threat.
I had a deeply seeded personal and ancestral belief that I was only significant and worthy of a fabulous and limitless life if I was in service, and over-gave, to others.
Talk about a deeply engrained significance wound that repeating the affirmation “I Matter” daily didn’t solve.
After focusing on receiving and practicing releasing my guilt around who I really am and how my energy actually works—in real life, not in my journal, not amongst girlfriends—I began to feel more grounded and whole, calm and reserved, open and receptive to life itself. As a result:
My relationships with both family, team members and industry peers grew deeper and expanded.
I no longer feel awkward receiving compliments and praise, especially for talents that come naturally and easefully to me. I also no longer seek, fish for, or feel less than when I don’t receive compliments or acknowledgement. I’m completely neutral because I’ve finally validated myself.
I no longer feel the pressure to constantly show up online to push, preach or pull people into my work—I enjoy sharing my accumulated wisdom, teachings, and expressions when I choose because it brings me joy and is aligned with my destiny and desires.
I attracted a supportive, loving partnership, where both I and my man thrive. I can relax, trust, still create my dreams and lead in a way that’s authentic to me, and honoring of him.
I feel more "seen" and respected by those in my close circles and community, creating a stronger sense of confidence, self-worth, safety and belonging.
I easefully and without guilt simplified my business model and daily life, and still exceed my financial goals, childhood dreams and next level desires.
Learning to relax and receive turned out to be the key to my deeper empowerment and the creation of healthier, more fulfilling relationships. This has also rippled out into the quality of my work relationships and clientele over the last two years.
When you implement the starter guide I shared with you in Part II to repair and reverse your empowerment erosion, here’s what you can expect:
A renewed sense of vitality, creativity, and confidence.
Deeper connections with your intuition and creational energy, leading to clearer decision-making.
More fulfilling relationships where you feel supported, seen, and heard.
Easefully radiate, express and maintain your standards, expectations, desires and boundaries.
The ability to lead from a place of wholeness, balancing your feminine and masculine energies for maximum impact.
A feeling of radiance that attracts the right opportunities, love, and success into your life.
These results aren’t just possible—
they are your birthright.
They are in your innate design by nature of being a woman. By reclaiming your feminine energy, you’re stepping into a more aligned, empowered, and joyful version of yourself.
