In this episode, Jes dives deep into the nuances of power, presence, and authenticity. To her, power isn’t just about influence or control — it’s about having a deep, honest relationship with yourself. She explores how power is both a responsibility and a gift — something we give, take, and sometimes need to reclaim from others.

Jes shares how energetic boundaries and presence are central to holding space for others without losing yourself. She reflects on the ways women are taught to minimize themselves — to be quiet, not too “big,” or to suppress emotions — and how noticing hesitation can be a guide to authenticity.

Through her own journey, including divorce, Jes reveals how facing hard truths can lead to reclaiming your voice and living more fully in the present. She discusses:

• How therapy helped her claim her authenticity

• Recognizing the inner voice that was often misread as anxiety

• Learning that speaking up doesn’t always change others, but can reveal what truly isn’t working

• Honoring relationships and experiences while finding clarity and self-trust

• The lingering feelings of guilt and shame, and how to navigate them without losing yourself

This episode is a raw, reflective conversation about embracing your power, creating energetic boundaries, and coming home to yourself — even through life’s hardest lessons.

Key Takeaways:
✨ Presence is power.
✨ Power begins with your relationship with yourself.
✨ Holding space doesn’t mean fixing or diving deeper — sometimes just being is enough.
✨ Authenticity shows up in how you honor your needs, boundaries, and inner guidance.
✨ Life experiences, even challenging ones like divorce, teach us who we really are.

Reminder: The guests on GRLPWRDEN speak from personal experience. Their views might not reflect your own—or even mine—and that’s exactly the point. This space is about exploration, not echo chambers. And we don’t always find the perfect words or explanations, but we are here trying—because growth happens when we lean into the messiness and keep showing up.
