Signs You’re Remembering Your Power (and Why It Hurts First)

The rising that feels like breaking
The truth that feels like loss
This is the awakening that doesn’t come gently.
The remembering that burns through what kept you small.

At some point, you started to believe that power meant control.
That being strong meant being unbothered.
That awakening would feel like freedom right away.
But what if none of that was true?
What if the ache wasn’t regression…
but the evidence that you’re returning to yourself?

Transmission

You weren’t meant to stay numb.
You weren’t meant to master your performance.
You weren’t meant to armor up
just to survive your own becoming.

Power doesn’t start with certainty.
It starts with fire.
With friction.
With feeling everything you pushed away to stay safe.

If you feel overwhelmed…
you’re not breaking.
You’re opening.

The pain you’re feeling…
is your soul clearing out the static.

The moment you wonder why it hurts so much to come alive…
is the moment your soul stops pretending it's asleep.

At some point, you began to believe that discomfort meant something was wrong.
That doubt meant you weren’t ready.
That softness meant weakness.
But none of that was true.

You were not falling apart.
You were falling in.

The crack came when the masks stopped fitting.
When the fake “okay” stopped working.
When the part of you that knew
finally got louder than the one who was scared.

And in that rupture —
your remembering began.

THE CRACK

THE REVEAL

This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s grief for the years you spent hiding.
You hurt because you’re waking up in a world
that told you to earn what you already are.

You ache because you're shedding what was never you.
You ache because you're burning through the lies.
You ache because you’re remembering —
and remembering requires letting go.

But this pain?
Is the cost of reunion with your power.

This is what returning to yourself looks like at first:
Crying without a clear reason.
Wanting more and fearing it all at once.
Feeling too big for the room you once fit in perfectly.

You’re not too sensitive.
You’re re-sensitizing to truth.

And every part of you that still wants to hide, delay, or play it safe —
was trained by a world that fears powerful women awake.

The discomfort is not your punishment.
It’s your portal.
The ache is not your weakness.
It’s your weapon.

THE CLARITY

THE TRANSMISSION

You are not the version of you they trained.
You are not your silence.
You are not your old story.

You are the return they didn’t expect.
You are the roar beneath the softness.
You are the truth no system can translate.

You are the glitch in the matrix of your past self.
You are the fire the numb ones won’t understand.

This is not the end of your ease.
It’s the beginning of your electric, embodied knowing.

And no — you’re not too much.
You’re just finally, fully waking up.

And we’re waking up with you.

THE CRACK

This is your power waking up in real time.
Not the end of who you were —
the beginning of who you came here to be.
