The GRLPWRDEN Podcast

From Pain to Power — A Conversation on Discernment, Boundaries & Becoming

In the first episode of The GRLPWRDEN Podcast, Emily sits down with Nayada Moore, Founder and CEO of #Hashtag Co, a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering women, especially survivors of domestic violence. Newly based in Denver, Nayada is deeply committed to sisterhood, building women’s confidence, and sharing the mindset and resilience tools that helped her rebuild her life.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Power isn’t performative—it’s personal.
  Nayada shares how she moved from performing for love and approval to discovering her own definition of strength—one rooted in self-awareness, healing, and boundaries.

• Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
  Her journey is shaped by her personal faith, lived experience, and deep inner work. She proudly embraces her identity as a “Bible girl,” grounding her healing in a spiritual perspective that may not align with everyone’s—but still holds truths that transcend belief systems. While her spiritual lens may not reflect everyone’s beliefs, her story still offers universal insights about growth, self-worth, and reclaiming power. You’re invited to listen for what resonates with you—to notice what speaks to your own path, even if your roadmap looks different.

• Pain doesn’t make you unworthy.
  You’ll hear language like “brokenness” or “ugly parts”—words that can feel tender and raw. But this conversation reframes those ideas, offering an invitation to meet pain with compassion and curiosity, not shame.

• Growth comes through ownership.
  Nayada names the patterns she’s unlearned and the ways she’s evolved. It’s a powerful model of taking full responsibility for your story—and holding yourself with love.

• Discernment is power.
  From studying relationship dynamics to recognizing what no longer served her, Nayada shows how clarity and self-honesty become tools for true transformation.

This episode invites you to reflect on your own journey—to own your story without shame, to embrace growth even when it feels messy, and to get curious about what power really means to you. Not the kind we’re conditioned to chase, but the kind that rises from within: through boundaries, discernment, healing, and honoring the version of you that’s still becoming.

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. 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. This space is about exploration, not echo chambers.
