7 Signs You Are Giving Away Your Personal Power.
Let’s be real.. most of us don’t even realise we’re doing it.
We’re strong, self-aware, capable women… and yet, somehow, we keep finding ourselves feeling drained, frustrated, or just off.
That’s usually the sign.
Because giving away your power doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes, it looks like saying yes when your gut says no. Sometimes it’s keeping quiet to avoid a reaction. Sometimes it’s subtle — but it adds up fast.
Here are 7 sneaky signs you might be giving away your power (and how to take it the f*ck back):
You Seek External Validation.
You post something and obsess over the likes. You share your opinion, then second guess it. You feel good… until someone else makes you question it.
Truth is, your worth isn’t up for debate. The more you lean on external approval, the more power you hand over.
Take it back by rooting your confidence in who you are — not how others respond.
You People Please To Keep The Peace.
You say yes. You smile. You keep things ‘easy’… but inside you’re exhausted, annoyed, and resentful.
Peace without authenticity isn’t peace. It’s performance.
Real power? Saying no without guilt. Speaking your truth even when it’s uncomfortable.
You Blame Others.
Blame might feel justified, but it keeps you stuck. When it’s their fault, they have the power.
You reclaim yours the moment you take responsibility. You don’t have to carry shame — just the awareness that you get to choose how you respond from here.
You Doubt Yourself Constantly.
The second-guessing. The “what if I can’t?”
That inner critic? Not the truth. Just a voice shaped by old wounds.
Your power lies in choosing to believe in yourself, even when the fear is loud. Especially then.
You Live In The Past.
You keep replaying the moment. The mistake. The thing you wish you’d done differently.
But power lives in the now. When you anchor yourself in the present, everything shifts.
Your next chapter doesn’t need permission from your last one.
You Ignore Your Intuition.
You know what’s right for you — but you override it with logic, other people’s opinions, or fear.
The more you abandon your inner voice, the more disconnected you feel.
Your intuition isn’t woo — it’s wisdom. It’s time to start listening.
You Avoid Conflict At All Costs.
You keep it in. You tell yourself it’s not worth it.
But every time you silence your voice to keep the peace, you chip away at your power.
Speak up. Set boundaries. Let the discomfort come — and trust that you can hold it.
