Ever noticed how some people seem to move through chaos with a steady grace, while others create more chaos and disconnection in their wake?
It has to do with the power they access. But when we shift from seeing power as a control to understanding it as a path to more steadiness and deeper connection, we open ourselves up to a more sustainable way of being in the world.
Those moments when you feel truly seen, supported, and capable... they come from a different kind of power dynamic. One that lifts everyone up rather than keeping others down.
The way we hold power determines whether we feel exhaustion or a sense of steady calm.
This week, Karlee explores the four types of power to help you pinpoint whether power is being used to fragment or unite. Because when you're not operating from a place of scarcity and fear, you get to create spaces where everyone can thrive. And that changes everything.
In this episode, you’ll learn to recognize the different ways power shows up in your life and work. You'll hear how power over dynamics often lead to exhaustion, while power to, power with, and power within create steadiness and connection. You'll also hear about what Karlee calls "the Godzilla effect"—when someone's words and actions don't match, and what to do about it.Â
If you’re ready to find more steadiness and clarity in how you move through chaos, then this episode is for you.
