Stop Hiding… Stand in Your Power

Join our community! Stand in Your Power I had a very eye opening self-love photo shoot opportunity in early March with Coach Kayla 2017 Marie. She helped me see myself through a different lens.

She helped me get in In 2018 Powerful the ice-cold water, as this is the end of the Women Unite was experience. I focused on my breathing and founded. It is a group submersed myself up to my neck. It was to help Women not feel invigorating. A silence came over me and in that alone in their moment the voice of God, My higher self, entrepreneurial world Universal spirit spoke to me… Susan YOU CAN while climbing to reach do anything you set your mind to… Yes You Can, new heights.

What was it and how was it else is doing. I was on a path and was steadily affecting so many people? Days later quarantine moving forward. In January of 2020, on a was announced and life as we knew it would Marketers Cruise, in the Caribbean, I had a truly change. Will it be the worst of times...?

many others, moved them online. Something amazing happened as I could finally see how I would grow Powerful Women Unite into an international event for Women everywhere. It also came with a feeling of overwhelm and uncertainty. I like so many I know have spiraled up in a time that could have been (and has been for many) devastating.

Everything was going well and I changed my focus to self-development and helping others that were stepping out and running programs online. I reached out to help a friend with his course “Confidence on Video”. I say help him because I would be a dream participant and do all the homework, as I did not have confidence issues. At the same time, I took another course to help another friend and participate in her “Secrets to Self Confidence” course. To give feedback… like I said I was totally confident and did not need help. Timing is a funny thing... Funny in that the moments I said I was helping them; I was actually helping myself. Self-doubt, uncertainty, lack of confidence, not wanting to be seen online… it all came crashing down in front of me.

All I wanted to do was hide. I always told myself a positive story about showing up confidently, feeling the fear and doing it anyways… This time was different. This time I was scared, my inner child was scared. She was not confident; I was not confident. People would see me online and see right through me! They would see the selfdoubt; they would doubt my abilities the way I did... Imposter syndrome was appearing and was taking control…

Then as if by Miracle I thought what would Susan Binnie do? She would tell me to get to the root of the story, where was it coming from. At that moment I knew what to do… I could actually stand in the power of the story... my story and be vulnerable, be transparent and truthful and break through my feelings of not enough once and for all. I was scared, but I was not alone. I have built up a community around me. A community that is there to help one another. I would reach out and get help and that is just what I did. Together we can be strong, we are strong, and we are all in this together!

I work on my confidence every day. I am human... and so are you! You were not born knowing how to do everything, you had to learn. You learned to walk falling several times in the process, you had to learn how to talk, eat, tie your shoes, wipe your butt, take care of yourself and BE the person you are meant to be. Stand in your truth, be strong. Stand in the power of your story and make the difference you want to make in your world and the world around you! It is not important always knowing how... What is important is to know where your community is and where the people are that you can talk to. Reaching out and asking for help takes effort, but you are strong, you can do it! It is ok to fall down, that is how you learn. Get back up, get help and keep moving forward. Yes you can, what will you do… write it down and declare it. Yes you will, what will you do to get there… write it down and declare it. Yes you are, who are you… write it down and declare it.

Rise and Stand in the Power of YOUR Story
