Ahh, power. We’ve been hearing a lot about power lately, especially after the last election. You know, who has it, who wants it, what they want to do with it if and when they get it, etcetera, etcetera. But what exactly is power? What does it mean, and how can you find yours?
In my humble opinion, power means having strength, confidence, the ability to set clear boundaries, how to stand your ground and speak your mind. It means having a set of skills which will help you navigate through the obstacles, challenges, or confrontations life throws your way.
Imagine that these skills are so deeply ingrained in your mind, body, and spirit, that you automatically react when you need them without conscious thought. And now think about how wonderful it would be if these same skills had powerful anti-aging properties.
I know, it sounds too good to be true. But in reality, that strength, power, and those skills are already inside of you, along with an innate knowledge and wisdom that we are all born with. That power is already inside of you, just waiting to be unleashed and shared with the world. And to keep you safe, healthy, and happy.
It’s not about having control over other people. It’s about not allowing other people having control over you. And once you find your power, it’s a wonderful feeling. Not only that, people notice it. And they respect it.
So, who’s got the power? You do. Just like dear Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, you’ve always had the power. You just have to learn it for yourself. And I have all the confidence in the world that you will.
One of the many perks about having a podcast the opportunity to meet and speak with so many wonderful people who share their inspiring stories of empowerment with all of us. Their stories fill my heart with hope.
Another perk is that I get the chance to be a guest of other shows as well. Full disclosure, it’s a little bit concerting to be on the other side of the mic, but it does give me the chance to (gulp) share my own personal story with the world.
I was recently a guest on The Fire Inside Her podcast with the inspiring and spectacular host, Diane Schroeder. We had a fantastic conversation where I shared many of my ninja secrets, why I began training in the ancient Japanese martial art called Ninpo Tai Jutsu at the tender young age of 47, and how I rose up through the ranks to become my teacher’s first female black belt.
Listen to the episode here:
Diane also called me an inspiration, courageous, and a total bada$$. I disagree. I am a simple woman, and one who found the power of healing from a traumatic event in an unconventional way. In my humble opinion, we’re all bada$$. And we all have an incredible amount of strength and power in each and every one of us.
So I leave you with one final thought. What can you do to unleash yours?

Lauren Boyd is a lifelong dancer, teacher, competitor, and role model.
I not only host my own podcast, but I am frequently invited to appear on other shows as well. And I have been on a lot of them. But none quite compared to my most recent appearance on The Wellness Driven Life Show. The host, April Chavez, was not only charming and beautiful, but she was warm and engaging as well. She was also a lot of fun to talk to and we had a great conversation.
Imagine my surprise when she referred to me as “the real Princess of Power.” I didn’t even know there was such a thing until I looked it up. Apparently it’s an animated story about an orphaned princess who discovered a magic sword which transforms her into a legendary warrior princess. Who knew?
Anyway, we had a great time together, and I thought you might find it interesting to hear me on the other side of the microphone as a podcast guest instead of a host for a change. So, here is the link to the episode along with a graphic April used to promote the episode. April produces a fabulous show with high quality guests, and I’m not saying that just because I was one of them.

Everyone has the right to defend themselves. But you can’t defend yourself if you don’t have the skills you need to protect yourself. Learning the appropriate skills does take time, practice, and commitment. Lots of time and commitment, so much that it can be overwhelming. I get that. Been there, done that.
