Empowerment Diaries: Building a Life of Sovereignty – Episode Summary

In this raw and reflective episode, Lita, Goddess of Growth, moves beyond surface-level empowerment to conduct a forensic audit of her own life’s blueprint.

This isn't a story of simple lessons learned. It's an unflinching examination of the promises that failed and the sovereignty forged in their absence.

Lita traces the arc of two marriages not as romantic disappointments, but as collapsed structural plans for a life she was told to build. The first, begun at 19, exposed the lie that education and partnership were a guaranteed path out of poverty. The second, a later-life attempt to create a family structure, dissolved, closing the door on motherhood.

From this crossroads, Lita dissects the deeper grief: not just for the children she didn’t have, but for the decades of energy spent serving a societal script that never delivered its promised security or fulfilment.

She reframes her isolation and career challenges not as personal failures, but as evidence of systems designed to limit, leading her to a powerful, reclaimed definition of sovereignty. It’s not about hyper-independence, but about becoming the ultimate authority in your own life—choosing your supports, defining your legacy, and building your sanctuary from a place of clear-eyed truth.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between the life they were promised and the life they have, and is ready to stop following a broken map and start drawing their own.
