In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of empowerment. We explore the crucial difference between being strengthened and being empowered, recognizing that true empowerment often comes from the support and encouragement of others. Through engaging discussions and insightful examples, we highlight the importance of creating spaces where we can be lifted up and supported by our community, freeing us to pursue our life's mission with renewed energy and purpose.
