Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong?
Like you were constantly navigating a world that wasn’t built for the way your mind works?
That was me, and I’m willing to bet that, at some point, it’s been you, too.
If you have a creative, visionary brain, you don’t just think outside the box—you don’t even see the box. You see gaps others miss. You imagine solutions that don’t exist yet. You have the rare ability to build a bridge where no one else even notices a divide.
And yet, in a world that rewards conformity and clarity over creativity, people like us are often overlooked.
Let me share a story that’s far too common in the corporate world:
Samantha walked into the meeting with her heart pounding and a pitch that had taken her months to refine. She wore her best blazer—the one that made her feel powerful. She sat tall, steadying her breath, ready to present a wellness program that could transform lives.
But before she even spoke, the panel of decision-makers dismissed her. No questions. No curiosity. No acknowledgment of the depth she had brought into the room.
They couldn’t see her.
But that didn’t stop her.
They didn’t ask questions.
They didn’t even look up.
They dismissed her before she could say a word.
She left the room numb—but not defeated.
That same woman went home (let’s be real, maybe not that day, but this inspired her) built her own platform, launched a retreat in her living room, and sold it out. Within a year, she was coaching the very same executives who once ignored her.
Here’s what she learned: If the room wasn’t built for you, it’s not your room.
So build your own.
Most women wait to be picked.
We wait to be recognized.
We wait for permission to be visible.
But power doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from building.
If you’ve ever felt like the invisible one—the woman with the good ideas no one hears, the overachiever who gets passed over, the quiet storm who plays small to stay safe—this is your call to rise.
3 Bold Moves to Build Your Table and Claim Your Power:
- Clarify your genius zone.
What do you do that no one else can replicate? What transformation do you deliver that changes lives? Stop shrinking. Own it—loudly. - Create a bold offer.
If your offer doesn’t scare you, it’s too small. Build a high-ticket, high-impact offer that reflects your worth, your value, and your legacy. - Call in your people.
Don’t waste energy convincing the wrong audience. Speak directly to the people who feel invisible too. They are your tribe. They are waiting.
You don’t need their table.
You don’t need their rules.
You don’t need their approval.
You need your voice, your vision, and your own damn table.
You’re not here to blend in.
You’re here to shake things up.
