#101 Reclaim Your Inner Power | LaNysha Adams
What happens when someone else's words make you forget everything you've built ,and how do you find your way back? This week, Lori sits down with LaNysha Adams, author of Me Power, for one of the most honest conversations this show has had. They go deep on the beliefs we inherit without choosing them, the survival mode we mistake for ambition, and the quiet inner knowing that's been there all along waiting for us to return to it.
Show Notes
Episode 97: Me Power — Reclaiming Your Agency with Dr. LaNysha Adams
"Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?"
In this episode, Lori is joined by the brilliant Dr. LaNysha Adams, author of Me Power. Together, they peel back the layers of "legacy burdens"—the scripts and stories we are given by our families, our culture, and our trauma—to find the authentic "knowing" that has been there all along.
If you have ever felt like your value is tied to your productivity, or if you’ve spent your life "marinated" in a cycle of chaos and survival, this conversation is your invitation to pause, breathe, and remember your own dignity.
In This Episode, We Explore:
The "Me Power" Framework: Moving beyond external validation to a soul-level connection with your authentic self.
Legacy Burdens & The "Tape" Script: How the narratives of our ancestors and our upbringing run on autopilot in our minds until we choose to hit "stop."
The Survival Mode Trap: Why hard work and "hustle" are often mistaken for ambition when they are actually nervous system responses to unpredictability.
Ritualizing Reflection: A practical, 10-moment exercise to help you see how much you’ve changed—and the beautiful ways you’ve stayed the same.
The Power of the Pause: How a simple four-count breath can be the ultimate disruption to a lifetime of normalized chaos.
Key Quotes from the Conversation:
"Our forest was once our sanctuary. It was the way we protected our vibrancy from a world that didn't know how to cherish it." — Lori Clarke
"Conditioning is deep-rooted. It’s like a marinating that seeps into your bones. We move from that place without questioning it—until we realize it isn't working for us anymore." — Dr. LaNysha Adams
"You were never their shame. They put it on you, but it never belonged to you." — Lori Clarke
