In this empowering new episode of A New Way to Love, Live& Lead, Cheryne Blom explores what real power looks like in midlife — and why most of us have been taught to chase a version of strength that actually keeps us disconnected from ourselves.
Many women are taught that power means pushing harder— doing more, controlling more, proving more.
However, that kind of power can burn us out.
Here’s the truth:
👉 True power isn’t control — it’s alignment.
It’s the quiet confidence that comes from self-respect,self-trust, and integrity.
When your energy and values are in harmony, you stop forcing and start flowing.
This episode helps you redefine strength as self-alignment— so you can own your power with calm confidence, not chaos.
This is a self-leadership model for high-achieving women in midlife ready to reclaim their power, cultivate authentic confidence, set boundaries, live in alignment and embrace their feminine power.
In this Episode:
o The difference between authentic power and control
o Why we give our power away (and how to stop)
o The link between energy leaks, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment
o The 3 Pillars of Authentic Power: Self-Respect, Self-Responsibility & Self-Alignment
o How to reclaim your energy without guilt or push
Powerful Reframe: True power isn’t loud — it’s aligned.
It’s the quiet confidence that comes from integrity, not intensity.
