Redefining Control

Read time: 5-7 minutes

Hey Fab-You-Sis!

I know, today’s newsletter is LATE - don’t give me that side eye! Be on the look out for a little something I put together.

Let's skip the small talk and dive into the heart of transformation. Today, we're not just sipping on leftover holiday eggnog; we're toasting to Redefining Control in our lives and relationships.

This past year's whirlwind of change calls for a fresh approach. Let's tackle it head-on and unwrap this gift of empowerment together.

Are we ready to let someone else take the lead for a change? You bet we are! Because, my dear Alpha females, there's strength in flexibility, power in partnership, and a whole new level of fabulous waiting on the other side of letting go.

I'm Demi Austin Thomas, your fellow journeyer on this wild ride of love and leadership. Buckle up because we're about to redefine, reconnect, and reignite.

Redefining the Alpha Female and Control

I came across a question that gave me pause. The question was raw, honest, and resonated so deeply with me:

I felt this question to my soul. And I’m going to answer each question but first, let’s break it down.

I am an Alpha female, and I am sure some of you reading this are too. Sometimes, being an Alpha female is simply about having the courage to be the leader of your own life, the maestro of your journey. It's not just about being strong and assertive. It’s about knowing your worth and embracing your power with grace and wisdom.

An Alpha female carries a presence that is both commanding and nurturing. She’s a warrior in the boardroom and a healer in the home.

She's all about high self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and leadership that inspires rather than intimidates.

Now, I’m not going to define control because we all know or have defined it in some way, shape, or form. Besides, Janet Jackson said it best.

But here’s the real tea: control isn't just leading – it's about balancing when to lead and when to let your partner shine. It's about finding harmony between your alpha instincts and your partner's strengths. But I know sometimes that doesn't happen, and we become stuck in our masculine energy. But let’s get back to the questions at hand.

Answering the Hard Questions

Listen, honey, transitionin' from being the boss lady to letting your partner take the wheel sometimes ain't about dimming your shine—it's about letting the light hit both of y'all. It's a dance, you see? Sometimes you lead, and sometimes you follow. And just because you let him lead doesn't mean you're not in control. It's about mixin' it up, finding balance, and ensuring both of you get to strut your stuff.

Talk it out, queen. Let him know where you're a powerhouse and where he can show his strengths. It's like a tag team for the soul, where both of you win. It ain't about losing yourself; it's about blending your superpowers to create something even more fabulous and dynamic.

Now sis, let's keep it real—it can be as tricky as walking in stilettos on a cobbled street or as smooth as silk on skin, all depending on the day. The secret sauce? It's all about that deep-rooted respect and love y'all share. If you've got that, the rest can be worked out with a little bit of grace and a whole lot of heart.

Remember, it’s about giving and taking. Some days, you'll nail it; on others, you might stumble. On other days, you might stumble.

But that's okay, boo. It's all part of the journey. The more y'all groove together, the easier it gets. Flexibility is your friend, and patience is your ally. Keep the faith, keep the lines open, and keep the love flowin’.

Let's get this straight—relinquishing control doesn't mean giving up your crown. It means you're wise enough to know when to share it. It's about trusting your partner enough to take the lead, knowing he's got the chops because you chose a king, remember?

It’s about playing to each other’s strengths and being secure enough to know that just ‘cause he’s leading in one dance doesn’t mean you’re not co-creating the choreography. Embrace the moments when you’re in the passenger seat ‘cause, chile, sometimes the view from there is just as stunning. You’re still the queen of your castle, and he’s your king. Together, you rule.

Redefining Your Dance

Being an Alpha and in control is about more than leading; it's about knowing the rhythms of when to step forward and when to fall back into the embrace of your partner's lead. It’s about stepping into your feminine energy.

Let’s talk about why this is important, love. Embracing your feminine energy doesn't mean you're playing small. It’s about allowing yourself to be vulnerable, receive, and connect on a deeper level. It’s about owning your power in a way that’s not about dominance but about inspiring and elevating those around you.

Challenge yourself, Alpha. Try stepping back and let your partner take the lead. Notice the dynamics, the interplay of energies, and how it makes you both feel.

Tying it all Together

To wrap up, here's what we've learned:

• Let someone else lead. You don’t have to be in control all the time. Take a break, boo.

• Balance is beautiful, hunni. A partnership in harmony is the ultimate relationship goal.

• Communication is key. Keeping the conversation flowing makes for a stronger connection.

• Trust is foundational. Without it, you're dancing solo.

• Respect is rhythmic. When you respect each other's roles, the music of your marriage never stops.

With these tips, let’s redefine control in our relationships. It's your journey, filled with love and purpose. Let's keep it vibrant and genuine!

Hearts and Sparks,

Demi 💖
