Manifest Your Power: Our Journey from 'Not Enough' to Unstoppable

“It wasn't supposed to be this way. We did everything right, didn’t we?”

Elise followed the straight and narrow path to architectural success, checking off each box like a good daughter should. I, Heidi, chased my version of success in healthcare, grabbing every title, every degree, like they were golden tickets to fulfillment. But somehow, we both ended up feeling... stuck. Like we were missing something essential, something that no degree, title, or accolade could fill.

Finding the Unexpected on the "Right" Path

Elise, the eldest and ever the achiever, went into architecture because she loved the idea of creating. But in the male-dominated world of design, it didn't take long for the shine to wear off. Every day felt like a battle against imposter syndrome. Should she wear heels to this meeting? No, the boss doesn’t like it when she’s taller than him. Should she speak up or stay quiet?

When Elise finally decided to trust her instincts, she stopped playing by the rules everyone else had set. Her career took off. She was promoted to partner, a dream she'd carried in her heart for years. But even then, something didn’t feel quite right.

"I realized the ladder I was climbing was leaning against the wrong wall."

For me, it started in healthcare. My days were filled with chasing external validation—another degree, another title—hoping one day it would all add up to feeling 'enough.' I was a nurse, a teacher, an administrator, but no matter how high I climbed, I still felt stuck in a cycle of inadequacy. The shift came when I found myself pregnant, burned out, and in desperate need of control over my life. I stumbled into a childbirth education class, and for the first time, I felt an unexpected spark of fulfillment.

The Leap of Faith: When "Impossible" Became Our New Normal

“When we decided to leave our 'safe' careers to start Innate Abilities, it wasn’t because we had it all figured out. Far from it.”

We just knew we couldn't ignore that inner voice any longer—the one that kept saying, “You’re here to help more women than you ever could in your current roles.”

It wasn't a decision that came easy. We were scared, unsure, but we knew deep down it was the right choice. I (Heidi) had already seen firsthand the power of listening to that voice. Our move to Maine was nothing short of magical. Picture this: a woman on "HGTV's House Hunters," with the most impossible list—an old New England home that had to be fully updated but still retain all its old character and charm, an attached garage, a big yard, close to downtown and the beach… and all on a rural budget. My inner realist knew it was a needle in a haystack. But my manifesting self said, “Watch me.”

"And guess what? Not only did we find that needle in a haystack, but we also won a bid against multiple competitive offers. The closing went off without a hitch, and our move was seamless."

But that wasn’t all. I also needed a daycare for my two kids, and most had a two-year waitlist. I took a chance on one, even though I didn’t even know where we’d buy a house. Miraculously, both kids got in, and it ended up being just 10 minutes from our new home. Normally a one year waitlist, but in just 6 months a spot had opened up.. in both classrooms. 

And let’s talk about that job. I had a vision board, and on it was this specific hospital. I wanted to work in labor and delivery, but sometimes the universe gives you something even better. I landed a role on a high-risk prenatal unit. These women often stayed for weeks, even months, and I found myself building connections that filled my soul in a way I’d never expected- something I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do in Labor and Delivery. I was in my element—teaching, empowering, helping women find control in situations where it felt like they had none.

Listening to Our Inner Compass and Leaping into Innate Abilities

And then there was Elise. After becoming a partner, she realized that she had reached a pinnacle, but not her pinnacle. She'd played by everyone else's rules and found that the ladder she climbed was leaning against the wrong wall. That's when she turned inward, using the tools of intuition that she had once dismissed, to carve out a new path. Together, we began trusting our own inner compasses, and we realized we needed to help other women do the same.

"Innate Abilities was born not from a place of certainty, but from a place of truth."

We took the leap, and this time, we’re doing it on our own terms. No external rules, no checklists—just the belief that every woman has a unique path to success that’s waiting to be discovered.
