Episode 08 – Quiet Strength Isn’t Weak: Owning Your Inner Power


Listen Later

For the S-style woman in DISC, strength doesn’t always look loud. It looks steady, loyal, dependable — the quiet presence that holds families, teams, and communities together. Yet so often, this quiet strength gets misunderstood as passivity or weakness.In this episode of More Than a Type, hosts Amira Romanowski and Carol Edwin explore what it means to be an S-style woman — the challenges, the power, and the shift from being overlooked to being truly seen.Together, Amira and Carol unpack:- What the S style is all about — and how it shows up in real life.- Why S women are often misperceived as hesitant or “too quiet.”-The cost of silence when boundaries aren’t expressed.-The difference between unresourceful “going along” and resourceful steady leadership.- Practical tools to reframe your quietness as power, not weakness.- Real-life examples of women who embody the S-style — both in struggle and in strength.💎 Because your calm, loyal presence isn’t weakness — it’s the anchor that others depend on.Key Takeaways- Quiet strength is not passive — it’s powerful when used resourcefully.- Women with S- Style personalities are often misread by faster-paced styles, but their calm is a gift.- Saying yes silently builds resentment; speaking gently builds respect.- Women with resourceful S style personalities lead by presence, not pressure.- Boundaries and steadiness build sustainable trust
