Empowered Women Inc.

Safety is something we talk about from a perspective of OHS … we rarely talk about it from a perspective of fight or flight. Most women are constantly in a state of fight or flight… we are literally conditioned to fear for our lives. Conditioned appropriately because there are constant threats to our safety. When we go for a run. Or the gym. It walk across a parking lot at night. Out for drinks. Constantly assessing what we wear. What we say and how that may be perceived. Whether we go to the bar for drinks or that all male field or event? Women are constantly assessing our safety, keeping us in a high alert state all the time. Imagine if that energy was available for something else? How powerful we would be 🙌 Tonya Whittle

Going through things in life can be difficult when we’re trying to grow. The need to step back, realign ourselves, heal, is often perceived as a career setback for women. In reality, realignment, power, burnout recovery takes courage and character development. We cannot always control what happens to us or around us but we can control our response to it. Stepping back is one of the scariest things for us to do. And yet it offers us the most powerful opportunity to shift our focus, change directions, build an inner resilience and determination that we need to be strong women in this world. For as much progress as we’ve made, we have so much more to go. As we continue to unravel the ways we show up as we’ve been conditioned to do so… sometimes that step back is the most important part. The world will always take us the hand and demand our attention and energy to whatever it needs from us. But it is our responsibility to drop the hands that tow us in directions that are not ours. If youve not felt like yourself lately, or need a step back,take it. Trust me… its the best thing you can do for yourself to find your path and your purpose and yourself at the most powerful.

Women have had to be careful with our existence for … ever? These are the nuances where we can see the difference between thinking and truly changing behaviour. It’s not about changing the thought process but about not getting in trouble for the thought process. Whereas for women… it’s about safety. See the difference here and why we need to keep challenging these concepts. The real issue is not weather it’s being said but whether it’s being thought. Because that the real shift.

Super excited to share this in person group with you :) Life by design… Have you ever felt a bit stuck or even like you were meant for more? Or that you can level up in a lot of ways? I’ve created a 6 week in person training happening in St. John’s :) I’ll be hosting this one in the evenings on Wednesdays for 6 weeks 😁 Things haven’t felt the same since covid for so many people. Dreams and goals and where we go getting back to ourselves and living our highest potential. This weekly program is designed to audit your life and create a map to where you want to be personally or professionally. And we do it in a high vibe fun environment with a small group of women :) Check it out and let’s connect in community with each other to inspire, and reach for what we really want. https://lnkd.in/e_s7M2dC

Hi! It’s Tonya Whittle and I’m excited for the new year! Here’s why: IDENTITY Is one of the strongest driving forces in human behaviour - Who we believe we are. We will do anything to stay consistent with the belief of who we are. What happens when we need to upgrade our identity? Or we’ve had significant changes or losses in our lives? The identity of who you were is no longer. Or what if your dream requires you to upgrade your identity in order to become the person who can do the things you want to do? I have an exact process that I take clients and groups through in identifying who we are and who we need to be and then creating the process of getting there. I’ll be covering this in my upcoming course called LIFE, By Design. I’m taking a small group of women through the process of designing your life… Feeling blah? Want more? Need more motivation? Drive? Passion in your life? Want to overcome burn out or create unstoppable momentum in your life no matter where you are now? My life, by design 6 week course will do that. With coaching and a group… this course will set you up for the year to create the life and career you truly desire ❤️ Join us here: https://lnkd.in/e_s7M2dC

Being empowered is often confused with being driven and loud but empowered is in your power and that means knowing how to flow between push and rest. Seasons are cyclical: we’re not meant to be on all the time! Sometimes we need to step back. And get back into alignment and not just push constantly. Do you struggle with flow and alignment and downtime?

It's time... to jump back in to what I do best and what I love the most. Empowered Women need courage. And courage comes from intentionally cultivating it.
