I ' m going to learn the game of being me . And that means there are certain boxes that I ' m no longer willing to tick … I am no longer going to turn myself inside out to try and fit into places people think I should belong .

Tell us about your Five-Step Framework for Power from your book .
We all have power . We all have the ability to act in a particular way , regardless of our ethnicity , our class , our gender , our opinion … But I want to break down the word ' power ' into a power acronym :
Presence to understand what is and isn ’ t working in our lives
Ownership of our personal narratives , especially our power stories
Wisdom about our needs , boundaries and growth
Equality as part of the diverse human family , all of us worthy
Responsibility for our choices , healing and happiness
