The Power that Lives Under Your Skin
a Intimacy by Design Letter for November 23rd
There is a kind of power that does not roar.It does not flex.It does not walk into a room demanding attention.
It hums.
It trembles.
It vibrates just beneath the ribs like a secret meant to be discovered only by those who can hold it.
There is a kind of power that does not roar.It does not flex.It does not walk into a room demanding attention.It hums.
It trembles.
It vibrates just beneath the ribs like a secret meant to be discovered only by those who can hold it.
I have one of those.
It lives in the deepest part of my chart, tucked inside my unconscious Neptune, in the energy of 34.5. You could call it power, but that word feels too simple. It is more like an inner voltage that turns on only when my truth is on the line. It stays quiet through the mind’s drama, through the ego noise, through the little temptations to perform, placate, or control. But the moment something is real enough to matter, the switch flips.
And when it does, everything clarifies.
This kind of power does not protect me from discomfort. It reveals the source. It burns through fog. It strips away anything I was pretending not to see. It turns manipulation into static, confusion into nothing, and half-truths into dust.
This power is ancient.
It is animal.
It is holy.
And it is mine.
It is animal.
It is holy.
And it is mine.
But here is the part that matters for you.
Every person has a version of this inner voltage.
Every person has a hidden current of strength that refuses to abandon them.

Some people feel it as intuition.
Some feel it as instinct.
Some feel it as clarity that hits like lightning.
Some feel it as a sense of direction that quietly rearranges their whole life.

This week, with the Sun crossing into the frequency of pure power and my own hidden current rising to the surface, it feels like the right moment to offer you a few truths to sit with.
Not to fix anything.
Not to force anything.
Just to remember yourself.

Just to remember yourself.
A Few Pieces of Power for You to Hold
1. Your body always knows who is safe.
Even when your mind argues.
Even when the story is nice.
Even when the timing is convenient.
Your body never lies.

Your body never lies.
2. Power is not loud.
Real power is the moment you stop trying to prove yourself.
You become clear.
You become grounded.
You become someone who can walk away without flinching.

3. Intimacy requires presence, not performance.
If you are shrinking, bending, softening yourself into someone else’s comfort, that is not intimacy.
That is survival.

4. The strongest version of you is the one who refuses to self-abandon.
If you tell the truth and someone leaves, you did not lose anything.
You preserved everything.

5. Sometimes power is stillness.
When you stop reaching and let life reveal the people who reach back, you meet your real connections.

6. Power without tenderness is a wall.
Tenderness without power is a wound.
You are meant to carry both.

7. You cannot fake alignment.
Your energy will always tell on you.
Follow the part of you that relaxes into truth.

Why this matters now
We are entering a season where the world feels loud but truth feels quiet.
The Sun is in the energy of power.
Mercury is retrograding over my own Mercury placement.
Everything in the sky is amplifying the difference between force and strength.

This week is an invitation to find your strength beneath the noise.
To listen to the part of you that is older than fear.
To stand in the place inside you that never needed permission.

Your hidden power is rising.
You will feel it in your boundaries, your conversations, your relationships, and the way your body responds to anything that is no longer aligned.

Do not fight it.

A Personal Note About What Comes Next
For the last year, Barbara Alexander and I have been in an ongoing conversation about truth.
Not surface truth.
Soul truth.
The kind that shifts timelines and relationships and self-perception in one breath.
Not surface truth.
Soul truth.
The kind that shifts timelines and relationships and self-perception in one breath.
That conversation has led us to a moment we knew was coming.
On December 4th, we are hosting a live session where we will share what we have learned, what we have seen, what we know is coming, and how to navigate the next chapter with sovereignty and clarity.
It is called The Truth Session.
If you are ready to meet yourself without distortion
if you are ready to understand connection through a new lens
if you are ready to rise into your own power with softness and precision
then I want you there.

This is the culmination of a year’s worth of revelation.
You will feel it.

Your power is calling you home.
Let’s meet there together.
