The most powerful thing I ever did was walk into that room like I belonged there.
I used to think success meant waiting for someone to notice me — the perfect boss, the right timing, the invitation to finally sit at the table.
Then one morning, after years of quiet work and longer nights, the promotion came. But it wasn’t the title that changed me. It was realizing I no longer needed anyone’s permission to lead.
When I wear my Aveline Flow Ring, I remember that moment. The way calm felt stronger than confidence. The way silence held more weight than applause.
That day, I stopped chasing validation — and started owning my power.
