Friday Night Was an Awards Ceremony… But It Was Also a Reminder

Friday night, I attended an awards ceremony where I was honoured to be named a finalist for the work I do through Her Empowered Mind.

Walking into that room — surrounded by leaders, trailblazers, and people making real impact — I had one of those moments where you quietly think:

“Wow.

Look how far I’ve come.”

Not because it’s about trophies or titles (they’re lovely, but they’re not the point).But because years ago, after my injury, after leaving my corporate job, after rebuilding myself piece by piece… I genuinely questioned who I was without my old identity.

And now?

Now I get to help women overcome self-sabotage, step into their power, and rewire their beliefs around what’s possible for them.

Being a finalist wasn’t just a professional milestone —

it was a deeply personal one.

It reminded me that:

✨ Healing creates space for alignment.

✨ Purpose often rises from the parts of our story we thought were “broken.”

✨ And when you choose yourself — the world reflects it back.

I didn’t win the award that night (or maybe I did — either way the message stays the same)…but what I DID win was the experience of standing proudly in the identity I once questioned.

To every woman in this community:

Don’t wait for permission.

Don’t wait for perfect conditions.

Don’t wait to feel “ready.”

Your future self is already cheering for you.

Start walking toward her today. 💛🔥
