1: Slowing down creates more success

For most of my early life, I equated success with speed. I thought the harder I worked, the faster I would arrive. I carried that belief into my corporate career, where pressure was worn like a badge of honour. But eventually, I learned that the constant doing wasn’t power - it was survival.

Leaving the corporate world forced me to confront my addiction to productivity. I realised that slowing down doesn’t mean losing momentum; it means reclaiming clarity. When you stop rushing, you start seeing. You make sharper decisions. You create from alignment instead of fear.

Now, I work a few focused hours each day and spend the rest of my time nurturing my energy through meditation, nature, travel, and rest. Ironically, the less I “do,” the more success flows. Slowing down was not the end of my ambition; it was the beginning of my mastery.

2: Trust your intuition, even when it makes no sense

Intuition rarely speaks the language of logic. It whispers, nudges, and asks you to leap before you can see the bridge. For years, I ignored that inner voice. I made choices that looked smart on paper but felt heavy in my body. Every time I silenced my intuition, the results didn’t last.

Over time, I learned that intuition is not emotion - it’s intelligence. It’s how the body communicates with the mind. The more I listened, the stronger it became.

Some of my biggest business moves - like leaving a six-figure corporate career or acquiring my new fragrance brand - made no sense logically. But the energy was undeniable. And every time I trusted that knowing, life expanded in ways I couldn’t have planned.

Trusting your intuition is an act of self-respect. It is saying: “I trust myself enough to follow what feels true.”

3: Redefine power as presence, not pressure

For years, I thought power meant being the loudest, the busiest, the most productive. But I’ve since realised that true power is quiet. It lives in presence, not performance.

When you are grounded, calm, and aligned, people feel you before you even speak. Presence is what magnetises opportunity, clients, and wealth. Pressure repels it.

This realisation changed how I lead, love, and live. I no longer chase outcomes; I create space for them. I don’t compete for attention; I hold the energy that draws it naturally.

Power is not in how much you do. It’s in how deeply you are connected to who you are. When a woman leads from that place, she becomes unstoppable.
