In this motivational segment, Theresa Byrne challenges the common notion of "empowerment" as an external, transactional commodity that people acquire or purchase. She argues that true empowerment is not something granted from outside or used against a person or situation, but an internal force that resides within each individual. Byrne defines empowerment as the innate power that wants to be unleashed, urging listeners to recognize and activate this inner strength rather than seeking external validation or tools.

Chapters

So I wrote a book called Empower because I do not believe that we do our best work when we're empowered. I'm empowered against something. I am empowered above something. I am empowered against a situation or a person that I no longer like. I have empowerment. It's like something you can shop at 7-Eleven. You go in, hey, excuse me, do you have empowerment? Is it on sale? I thought it was on sale over there. Is it on sale here? Empowerment is against something. Empowerment is something else. Empowerment is above something else. Empowerment is what lives in here. Yes. You can clap. Dude, you can, you can woo if you want to. Empower is what every single one of us has inside that wants to come out, that wants to be unleashed. Unleashed! You're going to unleash!
