The most profound conversations I’ve had with women revolve around one central theme: rediscovering and reconnecting with their inherent power.

The initial step in this process is to cherish our needs. I emphasize the term "cherish" because it denotes recognition of importance, a deep sense of value, something that we hold close to our heart.

Being a woman, and observing the diverse lives of many women, I've seen that cherishing personal needs is not usually on our to-do list. It’s

often superseded by the needs of our children, our partners, and those around us. It’s communicated, sometimes subtly and other times overtly, that women's primary role is to cater to the requirements of others. This narrative can obscure our genuine needs, keeping them buried deep, often unexplored.

Think about it: as a mother, the need for sleep becomes a luxury. In a relationship, yearnings for support, encouragement, and affection

become vital. Yet, beyond these apparent needs, each woman has unique emotional and spiritual needs crucial for her well-being.

For someone like me, words are not just a medium of expression. They are a source of power. Hearing words of encouragement and affection fills

my cup. Interestingly, women who vocalise such desires are frequently labelled "needy." This derogatory term implies a state of weakness, which

couldn’t be farther from the truth. Our immense nurturing capability shouldn’t spring from an empty reservoir.

Women have an innate power; it's not just about survival but thriving. Like the body, which needs more than just water and occasional food for optimal function, our emotional and mental well-being requires specific nourishments. These needs, though sometimes buried, are instinctively known to us. All we need is the space to reflect and identify them.

Ever felt an unexpected emotional surge? Or a physical symptom, perhaps a heavy feeling in the chest? These are cues, signals from within. It's

our body and soul urging us to pause and introspect: What do I need right now? Which boundary is being overstepped? Recognising these triggers is our first step towards rediscovering and reconnecting with our power.  After that initial recognition, dig deeper. Ask questions like, "Why am I feeling this?" or "What past experiences have shaped this reaction?". By tracing back these emotions, we can uncover suppressed stories, perhaps from childhood, where our needs were overshadowed by others. Once recognised, we can rewrite these narratives, aligning them with our true

selves.

Women - I’m calling you to action for yourself! Cherish your needs, not as an afterthought but as a priority. When you feel that emotional

pull or physical sensation, take a step back. Reflect, identify, and rewrite your story. Hold your needs close to your heart and let them guide you towards rediscovering your authentic power. For in understanding and cherishing our needs, we unlock an unparalleled strength, allowing us to not just survive, but thrive.
