Empowerment is like a magic pill that makes it easier for you to handle challenges and stress, find solutions to problems, push harder on your goals, advocate for what you want, strengthen your relationships, and positively impact all areas of your life. But what happens when you don’t use it?
In this episode of the Empowered Educator Mom podcast, Keri Martinez unpacks the hidden costs of disempowerment. It’s not just a matter of “feeling stuck.” From decreased problem-solving to financial instability and difficulty making friends, the costs of disempowerment run deeper than most of us realize.
This isn’t about guilt or shame—it’s about awareness. When you can recognize signs of disempowerment, you can begin shifting toward empowerment. And even small shifts can make a big difference. Recognizing it is the first step toward reclaiming your power at school and at home.
