Reflection: For a long time, I kept my magic on a dimmer. Not because it wasn’t there but because I was taught to handle it carefully, to wait for permission, to make my ambitions smaller, and to measure my worth against roles I might never fill. Turning my magic all the way on doesn’t mean getting louder or more impressive. It means getting honest. It means letting my life be shaped by what matters to me, not by what scares me. It means trusting that meaning isn’t handed down through one approved path but rather it’s made daily through presence, courage, creativity, and love. As a woman without kids and simply as a woman moving through this world, turning my magic on looks like refusing to live in apology. It looks like honoring my ability to nurture ideas, relationships, communities, and myself. We get one life to live so I’m going all in. - Caroline Bloss
