Her latest book Power Moves was an instant New York Times bestseller

I think the one thing that we can do is to speak who we are seeking to become in our world and atmosphere and to give it language when we give it language whether it's to ourselves but I think especially to other people that we begin to stretch our environment out to make room for who we're going to become.

power moves ignite your confidence and become a force.

power is not a doing, it is a being and power moves is not like how do I make a power moves? It is a realization that power is fluid that power moves and from that place of flowing in power from that place of being powerful and allowing power to flow through you.

I was like, this is this feels worthy of unpacking. I don't writing 60,000 words is, you know, it's all you don't have in the middle of writing my next book. I need a nap.

Sarah described her book Power Moves as teaching that power is fluid and comes from being rather than doing, encouraging readers to embrace their authentic, powerful selves.

"

So the book is called Power Moves. And many times people hear, first of all, it's Power Moves, Ignite Your Confidence and Become a Force.

Power Moves is not about how do I make a power move. It is a realization that power is fluid. From that place of flowing in power, from that place of being powerful and allowing power to flow through you, sure, you do some things. But what's most important is the being, the powerful being that you are.

I wrote this book coming off the heels of that moment. Because if we can really grasp this concept that power is fluid, then the power that we experience in whatever stage of our life that has passed, it flows into where we are now.

But I want to just introduce the book. It's called Power Moves.

I really wanted to write this book because I was mesmerized by what I was seeing happening in the culture and also what I was seeing happening within just stereotypes and gender norms.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple more questions about the book?

The line in the book, by the way, that I love, you said, rest is better than regret.

And I love the book and it's called Power Moves.

The Breakfast Club

The book explores the fluidity of power and how it manifests differently in various roles, such as preaching and motherhood. It emphasizes the importance of obedience, authenticity, and vulnerability in achieving true power.

It really started about five years ago whenever I'd finish speaking people would always tell me like, that was so powerful, you're so powerful. But I didn't really feel powerful.

The book explores the fluidity of power and how it manifests differently in various roles, such as preaching and motherhood. It emphasizes the importance of obedience, authenticity, and vulnerability in achieving true power.

"

It really started about five years ago whenever I'd finish speaking people would always tell me like, that was so powerful, you're so powerful. But I didn't really feel powerful.

Control is not power.

So in the back of the books, each book has like something to marinate on, something to activate and something to pray on.

when you are unable to connect the dots between who you sense you could become and who you presently are, it doesn't just cause internal frustration. It renders you powerless.

the message that I am hoping people get from the book is that power is a flow and that power that you have experienced in your past is still present in your future.
