You Have the Power - The Road to Truth, Freedom and Real Connection
You Have the Power: The Road to Truth, Freedom and Real Connection is the podcast for high-achieving women who’ve been told they’re too much — too intense, too emotional, too ambitious — and are done contorting themselves to fit into relationships that silence their truth.
Hosted by Darla Ridilla, a certified somatic trauma-informed relationship coach and former people-pleaser turned powerhouse, this show is your space to unravel the deep, hidden patterns that keep strong women stuck in cycles of self-abandonment — whether with a partner, a parent, a boss, or even a best friend.
This isn't just about trauma recovery or dating advice. It's about breaking free from the belief that you have to shrink to be loved, prove to be chosen, or tolerate dysfunction just to stay connected.
If you’ve built a life that looks good on the outside but feels misaligned inside — if you're exhausted from holding it all together, yet silently wondering why real connection still feels out of reach — you’re not broken.
You’re just ready for the truth.
Each episode combines raw storytelling, nervous system-based tools, and radically honest conversations to help you stop performing for love and start leading from a place of deep self-trust and radical boundaries.
Because you're not too much — you're just done accepting too little.
It’s time to reclaim your voice. Reinvent your relationships. And remember the power that’s been yours all along.
