In this minisode, Colleen reflects on the stories we grew up with — the ones where the lost princess or overlooked heroine is finally discovered and restored to her rightful place. These stories shaped how many of us learned to wait: for validation, timing, permission, or rescue.

She'll reframe that pattern through the lens of emotional sobriety. True power isn’t something that arrives once circumstances improve — it’s a mindset and a way of being that can exist even in the middle of the mess. Transformation doesn’t come from fixing yourself or performing worthiness, but from believing in the person you’re becoming before your life catches up.

You are invited to examine where you might still be waiting for rescue, and to practice showing up today as the version of yourself who already knows she’s capable, worthy, and ready.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• The hidden impact of waiting to be “chosen” or saved.
  
  

• Power as a feeling that creates new behavior.
  
  

• How belief precedes evidence in lasting transformation.
