The story behind The Quiet Power Project
I’ve always felt things deeply.
Maybe too deeply, depending on who you ask.
I’ve also spent a lot of my life trying to balance that depth with being “useful.” Productive. Put-together. Easy to work with. Easy to be around. And over time, that kind of performing chips away at you. Even when you’re good at it.
The truth is, I’ve always known there was more to me than what people saw on the surface—more than the designer, the strategist, the person who always has the answer. And lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what happens when you stop trying to be palatable and start trying to be real.
That’s what led me to create The Quiet Power Project.
Not as a brand. Not as a program. Not as a content strategy.
But as a space. A feeling. A kind of soft rebellion.
What it is (and what it’s not)
The Quiet Power Project is for the ones who’ve spent their lives feeling a little bit outside of things.
It’s for the people who don’t want to shout, but still want to be heard.
Who’ve done the overachieving, the people-pleasing, the shapeshifting… and are tired.
Tired of pretending. Tired of holding it together. Tired of feeling like they need to explain their softness or their intensity or their pace.
It’s not a blueprint for how to live.
It’s not about fixing anything.
It’s not even about finding your voice so you can use it loudly.
It’s about something quieter and harder: trusting your voice in the first place.
Trusting that you’re allowed to have needs.
That your energy matters.
That you don’t need to become someone new to be enough.
Why now?
Honestly? Because I needed this space too.
I’ve spent decades designing for other people. Solving problems. Building things that make sense, function well, and look beautiful. But under all that structure lives a very human part of me that’s always searching for truth and softness and connection—and I wanted to make something that held space for that.
I wanted to create a corner of the internet that doesn’t ask you to hustle or perform.
That just says: “Hey. You’re safe here.”
Because I know what it’s like to grow up feeling unsafe.
I know what it’s like to be the quiet one, the intense one, the one who sees too much.
And I know how powerful it is when someone simply says, “I see you. You’re not too much.”
What lives here
The Quiet Power Project will grow slowly, intentionally.
It’s not a content machine—it’s a slow-burning fire.
You’ll find:
- Reflections and soul notes on truth, identity, and emotional clarity
- Resources and reminders to help you reconnect with your voice and your value
- Creative prompts, soft tools, and things to return to when the world feels too sharp
- A growing sense of “me too” in the best, most grounding way
Eventually, you’ll also find community. Because I believe deeply in the power of people coming together—not to compete, but to witness and affirm each other.
If you’re still reading…
Then this space is probably for you.
It’s for the overthinkers. The quiet leaders. The people who’ve never felt like they fit cleanly in any box. The ones who feel so much they don’t always know what to do with it. The ones who are strong and tired. Open and guarded. Tender and powerful.
I see you. I made this for us.
You’re allowed to be here exactly as you are.
Take what you need. Come back when you’re ready.
You don’t have to shout to be heard.
