She Looked Whole, But She Was Holding Pieces: Why The Power Shift
She Looked Whole, But She Was Holding Pieces: Why The Power Shift
We don’t always break loudly. Sometimes, we keep showing up. We smile. We lead. We serve. And still we’re quietly falling apart inside. I know this well, because for a long time, that was me.
The Power Shift wasn’t written because I had it all figured out. It was written because I didn’t. Because I realised that leadership without healing isn’t sustainable. That purpose without identity leaves you empty. And that looking whole while holding broken pieces is no way to live.
This book wasn’t born from ambition. It was born from an awakening.
The Breaking Point
The truth is I didn’t plan to write The Power Shift. I lived it first.
There was a season where I was everything to everyone. The leader. The mother. The friend. The one who always had it together. But underneath the performance was exhaustion. I was pouring from an empty place, carrying expectations that weren’t mine, and slowly losing pieces of myself in the process.
It all came to a head when I realised I had become a stranger to my voice. I wasn’t living, I was performing.
That breaking point didn’t destroy me. It revealed me.
It revealed the parts of me I had buried under roles, titles, and silent pain. It exposed the ways I had been shape-shifting to be acceptable, palatable, and pleasing. And most of all, it made me confront a truth I could no longer ignore: something had to shift.
Identity and Purpose Collide
After the breaking came the rebuilding, but not in the way I expected. This wasn’t about reinventing myself. It was about returning to who I had always been.
As I slowed down, sat still, and leaned in, I began to hear God more clearly. Not in loud declarations, but in gentle confirmations.
A recurring dream.
A quiet whisper during prayer.
A scripture that echoed louder than before.
All pointing to the same truth, this wasn’t just my pain; it was my preparation.
The more I remembered who I was, the more I understood why I was here.
This wasn’t about starting a business. This was about answering an assignment.
The Power Shift didn’t begin on a whiteboard or with a marketing plan. It was birthed through moments of clarity that cut through confusion. Through spiritual alignment, that demanded I stop outsourcing my identity. It was the meeting place between who I was created to be and the lives I was called to impact.
This was my permission to rise and take others with me.
What The Power Shift Offers
The Power Shift is more than a book; it’s an invitation back to yourself. It offers tools for emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and deep reflection. Each chapter is infused with real stories, soul truths, and prompts that help you confront what you’ve buried, reclaim what you’ve lost, and rise in who you truly are.
Whether navigating burnout, healing mother wounds, or simply being tired of performing for belonging, this guide holds space for your return to truth. It’s not about quick fixes or surface-level inspiration. It’s about the shift one that restores your voice, reclaims your worth, and teaches you how to lead from the inside out.
