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 space for high-achieving women who are done shrinking, diluting, or managing themselves to be more “acceptable” in relationships. This is for the woman who’s been called too intense, too emotional, too ambitious — yet knows her depth is her power.
Hosted by Darla Ridilla, certified somatic, trauma-informed relationship coach, this podcast brings you back to your truth, your agency, and your magnetic presence. After years of contorting herself to maintain connection, Darla chose a different path — and now she helps women step into relationships that feel aligned, steady, and real.
Here, we name the patterns strong women rarely say out loud: the quiet moments you override your own knowing, the tightening in your body when you hold back your truth, the pressure to keep the peace while disconnecting from yourself in the process.
If your life looks successful but something still feels out of sync, you’re not broken.
You’re simply ready for a more aligned way of relating.
Each episode blends grounded storytelling, somatic intelligence, and radically honest conversations that help you stop performing for love — and start leading with self-trust, clarity, and magnetic connection.
You’ll learn how to move from holding it all together on your own into aligned boundaries, how to stop walking on eggshells, and how to feel that unmistakable, full-body resonance in the relationships that matter most.
Because you’re not asking for too much — you’ve just been accepting too little.
This is your invitation to reclaim your voice, shift the old patterns, and return to the power that’s been yours all along… so you can create connection that feels like truth, freedom, and home.
