Quiet Power: The Secret of Women Who Hol...

TONYA LEIGH
About this episode

Cultivating Quiet Confidence as a Woman

In today's fast-paced world, power is often associated with loudness, dominance, and aggressive behavior. However, Tonya Leigh highlights a different perspective: quiet power, which is rooted in presence, certainty, and self-trust. This form of power is not about making noise or asserting oneself over others; rather, it embodies a calm and confident energy that naturally commands respect.

The concept of "quiet power" and what it truly means to be a strong, influential woman without conforming to traditional expectations of dominance. Tonya reflects on her personal journey and how her quietness and feminine energy have often been misinterpreted as weaknesses. She shares insights on the importance of authenticity and self-trust, emphasizing that true power lies in being aligned with one’s true self rather than succumbing to external pressures.

Join Tonya as she uncovers how to embrace your presence, influence without force, and become undeniably powerful in your own unique way.

Quotes:

"If you are trying to be something that your soul is not in alignment with, if you are trying to be powerful in a way that doesn't feel true to you, there is going to be misalignment."

"I am that quiet power. I have no interest in dominating you. I want us all to win together."

"Her strength lay in her unshakable presence, her certainty, and her quiet refusal to be moved, literally and figuratively."

"There's something magnetic about a woman who's in that energy that's just so in who she is, who's so present, who has nothing to prove and everything to give."

"How would you dress, walk, and speak if you fully believed in your power?"

"A woman with quiet power doesn't waste time talking about what she's going to do. She just does it."
