123. Rediscovering yourself through pain, self-trust and feminine power with Hacia Atherton

If you want to discover how pain, power, and trust can lead you to your true self, this is for you. In this beautiful conversation, I sit down with the extraordinary Hacia Atherton, consultant, speaker, principal consultant at All-Star Consulting, and founder of Empowered Women in Trades, to explore the true meaning of courage, healing, and feminine power.Hacia shares her extraordinary journey from a devastating horse-riding accident where she was told she may never walk unaided again, through years of pain and physical and emotional recovery, to rediscovering who she is as a woman, a leader, and a partner.Along the way, she discovered that courage is not just about the big, audacious leaps, but also about the micro-moments: getting out of bed when you don’t feel like it, asking for help when it scares you, and learning to trust again after betrayal.She shares her mission to transform outdated male-dominated workplace cultures, showing how vulnerability, empathy, and emotional intelligence aren’t weaknesses, but the very strengths that allow everyone to thrive.And we hear about her latest bold move to America, where she is stepping fully into her feminine energy, her purpose, and a new love that has challenged her to trust in ways she never thought possible.Her story reminds us that in our hardest seasons, we still carry the power to choose, the ability to trust, and the gift of rediscovering our true selves. What we cover:o   What it takes to break old patterns and feel safe in love and relationships.o   The surprising truth about pain and how it can be a catalyst for growth.o   How to spot when ego, not intuition, is driving your choices.o   The overlooked cost of a victim mindset and how to free yourself from it.o   How anger, when harnessed, can fuel movements that change entire industries.o   How vulnerability and emotional intelligence are reshaping leadership even in the toughest industries.o   Why your feminine power is the key to rediscovering yourself. Get in touch with Hacia:LinkedIn: Hacia Atherton    LinkedIn: Allstar Consulting Services     LinkedIn: Empowered Women In Trades     Instagram: @hacia.atherton         Instagram: @allstar_consulting_services   Instagram: @ewitrades  (Empowered Women in Trades)   Website: Hacia Atherton     **Want to make the impact you know is possible without having everything figured out? Tune into The Courageous Shift – a FREE 90 min audio mini-series to work out your next move. Get access now.Where to find me: Website: Kim Payne   LinkedIn: Kim Payne Instagram: @iamkimpayne  Facebook: KimPayneBiz
