Abundance Is My Birthright
The Inner Revolution of a Nourished Leader
The Nourished Leader is leadership development for women.
Through honest reflections and transformative insights, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, leadership, and legacy—on your terms.
There is a quiet war happening inside many women—between the longing to lead from wholeness and the pressure to perform from depletion. Between the inherited codes of survival and the whispered knowing that abundance was never meant to be earned—it was meant to be remembered.
This is the battleground—and the birthplace—of a Nourished Leader.
Leadership development for women cannot look like traditional leadership development. Because for women, the barriers are not only systemic—they are spiritual. Cultural. Inherited. Internalized. We were taught to earn our worth, silence our knowing, sacrifice our needs, and be grateful for the crumbs of visibility, rest, and respect.
So when a woman says abundance is my birthright, it is not a cliché. It is a reclamation.
It is an ancestral reversal.
It is the moment when she names:
“I am done choosing between my brilliance and my body. Between my ambition and my motherhood. Between leadership and being led by my own intuition.”
Because here’s the truth: scarcity has shaped too much of our leadership identity.
We’ve bypassed nourishment for approval.
We’ve traded wisdom for speed.
We’ve been told we have to “show up” when what we really need is to slow down and ask: what kind of leader am I becoming?
The Nourished Leader says: no more.
We are not here to outperform burnout.
We are here to redefine what strength looks like.
We are here to lead from rootedness, not reaction.
From alignment, not anxiety.
And no, it’s not always easy. Especially when you’ve inherited narratives of survival from your mother, your mentors, your managers, or your own milestones. Especially when you’ve been rewarded for pushing through. But it stops with us.
We are the interruption.
We are the new rhythm.
We are the leaders we once longed for.
This is not about balance. It’s about belonging—to yourself, to your season, and to a leadership model that doesn’t cost you your health, your joy, or your identity.
Abundance is not a perk.
It is a paradigm.
And it is time we lead from that place.
Mother's Day: A Reflection on Complexity and Healing
We recently celebrated Mother's Day in the states, it's important to acknowledge that this day evokes a spectrum of emotions- globally. . For some, it's a celebration of love and gratitude; for others, it brings forth memories of loss, longing, or complex relationships.
Mother's Day can be a time of joy, but it can also be a reminder of the challenges and sacrifices that come with motherhood. It's a day that can highlight the societal expectations placed on mothers and the often-unseen labor they perform.
I was surprised to recently learn that holidays like Mother's Day can see an uptick in domestic violence incidents. Factors such as heightened emotions, financial stress, and societal pressures can contribute to this increase. CAWC
This juxtaposition underscores the need for spaces where women can process these complexities, heal from past traumas, and redefine what motherhood and leadership mean to them.
I recently attended an event where this space for the complexity was held. It was a beautiful gathering of daughters to embrace, name, and even reclaim power from the multifacted and even fractured tensions we have with mothers/motherhood.
It was right in alignment with the mission and vision of The Nourished Leader. Creating spaces and experiences —where women can lead from a place of wholeness, honor their experiences, and embrace abundance as their birthright.
