Part 2: She Has Authority in Her Kingdom. We talk about the importance of knowing what we have control over (what's inside our kingdoms) versus what we worry about but have no control over (what's outside our kingdoms).We talk about recognizing the signs of living outside of our kingdoms and how to navigate that with our different temperaments. We talk about the importance of being earthed (it's super princess metaphor-y).We learn how to create space for ourselves before we respond to situations and events and news in our lives. Developing authority in our kingdoms and our stories is like flexing a muscle. It takes practice and repetition and kindness to ourselves and the people around us as we learn.  We are grateful to have you explore this question and space with us - Where Is Your Kingdom?  Wishing you space and light and the courage to own and compassionately exercise the authority you have in your kingdom. With you on the journey, Sarah and Brittany ______________Shop our Empowered Princess WIYK?

We're pinching ourselves!! Our inaugural episode is here...all shiny and new. We can't wait to share it with you!This week's podcast introduces Empowered Princess - the empowered princess art, the hosts, and our stories.We discuss why we are reimagining and enriching (versus throwing away) the princess metaphor. We introduce Empowered Princess! It's all about the art. We reimagine the "princess" metaphor through printable and wearable art. We talk about the value of stories. Stories help us process the world around us and our experiences. Story is at the heart of every girl, woman, person, and culture. We process through the importance of owning our stories, feeling comfortable in our skin, and holding space for the stories of others.We foreshadow the 4 series of the Empowered Princess podcast: modern empowered princess interviews, the sleepover series, the princess origin series, and the whatever-we-want-because-we-can series. You don't need a ticket to join the empowered princess party. We're holding space for you and we invite you to take a seat on our couch as we openly and hilariously slay our self-doubt dragons, own our stories, and rule our kingdoms. Welcome to the Empowered Princess family, friend!Connect with us on Instagram! @empoweredprincess.coSubscribe to keep up to date with launch news and all things Empowered Princess: https://empoweredprincess.com/
