"Fear is powerful. Shame is powerful. Our doubt is powerful. It's powerful enough to keep you stuck in relationships. It's powerful enough to keep you alone, to keep you from pursuing your purpose and a business deal, whatever. It's got power too. And if you're going to have power, you got to have the right target." - Sarah Jakes Roberts
Dynamic spiritual leader Sarah Jakes Roberts shares a transformative approach to reclaiming personal power from the grip of fear and shame. Through raw honesty about her own journey from feeling powerless to discovering authentic strength, she reveals how normalizing our insecurities has masked their true impact on our lives. Roberts challenges listeners to face their fears head-on, offering profound insights about the importance of accurately sizing up our opponents – whether they're self-doubt, past trauma, or the hesitation to use our voice in crucial moments.
Drawing from her book "Power Moves," Roberts introduces a practical framework for transformation that begins with self-reflection and ends with actionable change.

Through personal examples, including her own struggle to speak up in relationships, Roberts demonstrates how to identify fear's manifestations in our daily lives and practice new responses. Her approach combines frank self-assessment with spiritual guidance, teaching listeners how to exercise their power muscle privately before stepping into fuller expressions of their authentic selves publicly.
