When was the last time you felt truly in control—of your career, your energy, or even just your day?

For many women in the workplace, external pressures—global events, corporate demands, or personal challenges—can chip away at your sense of power. Suddenly, you find yourself consumed by external circumstances, disconnected from your inner guidance, and feeling stuck in survival mode.

Does this sound familiar?

You feel powerless and overwhelmed.

You’re constantly scanning for the next potential issue.

You hold back to stay safe or avoid risk.

You numb yourself by staying “busy.”

If you nodded along, you’re not alone. Many of us have been there.

Why It Happens

This disconnection from your inner self happens when you’re swept away by external sources - often exposing you to prolonged negativity. This exposure results in a state called power loss in many Indigenous cultures. It’s like a slow leak in your energy tank. Over time, it erodes your confidence, clarity, and ability to act with intention.

But what if you could reconnect with your core self? What if you could move through challenges with a sense of personal power rather than dread?

How I Reconnected with My Core Self

Let me share a personal story.

For years, I thrived in the corporate world, but something felt missing. I was constantly overdelivering, overperforming, and on high alert for the next crisis. Despite professional success, I felt unfulfilled.

Then came a turning point - the birth of my twin daughters. Their arrival forced me to confront deep fears and patterns I’d ignored for years. Traditional therapy and career coaching had helped me manage symptoms, but I still hadn’t found the root cause of my disconnection.

That’s when I discovered Shamanic counseling with Dr. Isa Guicciardi at Sacred Stream.

Initially, I was skeptical. My egoic inner critic questioned every step of this practice. But through guidance and practice, I began to reconnect with my own energy and inner wisdom. It wasn’t an overnight change, but this process helped me peel back layers of self-doubt and familial and societal conditioning, uncovering the part of me that had been there all along—my authentic, core self.

How Inner Wisdom Transforms Leadership

You might wonder how connecting with your core self translates into the workplace.

For me, it was revolutionary. By aligning with my inner wisdom, I discovered how to:

• Recognize and overcome limiting beliefs.
• Approach complex challenges with clarity and confidence.
• Differentiate between the voice of fear and the voice of wisdom.
• Build self-trust that sharpens decision-making.
• Lead with authenticity and balance.

These shifts didn’t just improve my performance at work—they reshaped how I engaged with others, tackled uncertainty, and embraced opportunities. Your inner wisdom is the leadership secret hiding in plain sight.

What Would Change for You?

Imagine how your professional life could look if you…

Felt anchored and confident in your decisions.

Approached challenges with a calm, intentional mindset.

Stopped doubting yourself and started trusting your inner guidance.

Reconnecting with your core self isn’t just a personal journey—it’s a professional one. It empowers you to navigate workplace challenges with resilience, creativity, and purpose.

Your Invitation to Reflect

Pause for a moment.

What might shift in your career—and your life—if you tuned out the noise and tuned into your inner wise voice? What could you achieve if you reclaimed your personal power?

The path to reclaiming your power is personal, but its ripple effects can create meaningful change—at work, at home, and within yourself.
