"Empowerment is not something someone gives you. It's energy within you. The best another human can do is create conditions where your empowerment can shine, but YOU hold it." —LaNysha Adams
You don’t have to wait for someone else to hand you your power. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by labels, stuck in a rut, or wondered who you really are beneath all the roles you play, this conversation is for you. It’s time to rethink what empowerment really means—on your own terms.
LaNysha grew up surrounded by many cultures and languages, became the first in her family to earn a PhD, and faced a life-changing health crisis that forced her to rethink everything. Now, as a leader in student wellness and an author, she’s on a mission to help others find their own power from the inside out. Her journey is proof that resilience and self-reflection can turn setbacks into new beginnings.
Listen in for real talk on breaking free from labels, building resilience, daily reflection habits, and practical ways to own your power—all in one honest conversation.
