Where and Why Do We Give Up Our Power?
Episode 231
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
This is my last episode of the year (see you in 2026!), and I'm getting real with you about something that's been weighing on me: how and why we give up our power. After a recent incident that left me asking "why didn't I just walk away?", I did some deep reflection on why we still feel compelled to answer pointed questions, keep the peace at all costs, and put ourselves in uncomfortable situations just to avoid rocking the boat.Here's what I know after 56 years: we've been conditioned since youth to not speak up, to keep the peace, and to feel like we owe people our opinions, answers, and presence. But here's the truth: we're too f’ing old for this! This episode isn't about blaming anyone else or burning bridges. It's about recognizing where we're losing our power and understanding why, so we can do things differently moving forward. Whether it's at the holiday table, in friendships, at work, or even in our marriages (yes, I'm referencing that recent New York Magazine article on women quietly quitting their marriages), it's time to reclaim our power!Listen if you want to:Understand why you feel compelled to stay in uncomfortable situations instead of walking awayLearn how to gracefully reclaim your power without burning bridges or blowing up familiesGet a year-end reflection assignment that will help you identify where you've been giving up your powerDiscover why changing relationship dynamics is so hard (and why that's okay)Start 2026 ready to stand up for yourself with grace and balanceJen Says: YNTFO to walk away!Subscribe to Jen’s SubstackLearn more about Jen Marples at https://www.jenmarples.comWant to work with Jen?
