Her fire isn't extinguished and her fire isn't running her.
- She governs it.
- She knows who she is without needing everyone else to understand her.
- She trusts her voice.
- She knows what belongs to her—and what doesn't.
- She has stopped confusing over-responsibility with leadership.
- She can make decisions without endlessly second-guessing herself.
- She isn't building because she needs to prove something.
- She is building because she has something to steward.
- She knows when to move and when to rest.
- She has the capacity to hold greater visibility, influence, impact and income without abandoning herself to get there.
- She isn't desperately trying to remain relevant.
- She has realized that everything she's lived has made her relevant for this moment.
This is what it means to step into your Established Era™. It can look different for every woman.
For one woman, it's finally writing the book. For another, it's building the business. For others, it's answering a ministry calling, leading what she's already built differently, or it's recovering her voice after years of putting everyone else first. It may even be finally having power addictions and stepping into full recovery!
For another woman, it's allowing herself to want something again, it's increasing her influence, income and impact without increasing the weight she carries.
Established isn't a destination. It's a way of standing in who you've become while having the courage to respond to what's calling you next.
