Why Healing is the New Power Move
For far too long, power has been defined by how loud you could speak in a boardroom, how many titles you held, or how many ceilings you shattered. We applauded the hustle, wore our burnout like a badge of honor, and believed that to be seen, we had to sacrifice softness for strength. But something beautiful — and quietly radical — has been happening across the world. Women are rewriting the rules. And at the heart of this movement is something our grandmothers weren’t given permission to explore: healing.
Feminine transformation isn’t just about affirmations or trendy retreats in Bali. It’s a deep, intimate, and sometimes uncomfortable return to ourselves. It’s the quiet unraveling of inherited pain, societal expectations, and internalized fear. It’s looking at the wounds we’ve carried — generational, personal, collective — and choosing to tend to them rather than deny them.
Women like Girisha Andrea Steigler, this year’s recipient of the Prize for Feminine Transformation at the Global Women of Choice Awards, are leading this movement with fierce grace. Through her Conscious Woman Academy and the Empress-O method, she’s helping women shed the shame, guilt, and trauma that have kept them small for centuries. And she’s not alone.
Across continents and cultures, more women are leaning into practices that honor the body, the spirit, and the stories we’ve been told not to tell. From tantra and Taoism to trauma-informed coaching and ancestral healing, holistic empowerment is no longer fringe — it’s a frontline movement. It’s about reclaiming pleasure, joy, safety, and the right to exist unapologetically in our own skin.

Why now? Because the world is finally learning that unhealed women can only build so much. True, lasting change demands whole, healed women at the table. Women who aren’t performing power but embodying it. Women whose decisions come not from unresolved wounds but from clear, anchored truth.
This is what makes healing the new power move. It’s an act of rebellion against a system that benefits from our disconnection. It’s choosing wholeness over hustle, intuition over obligation, and softness as a source of strength.

In this year’s Global Women of Choice Awards, we saw dozens of women transforming not just their own lives, but the lives of those around them through this very philosophy. It’s a reminder that feminine transformation isn’t a trend — it’s a necessary, powerful evolution.
Because when a woman heals, generations before and after her feel it. And that kind of power? It can’t be bought, borrowed, or broken.
