The Power Hall focuses on action, influence, and the ability to make things happen. This hall encourages the harnessing of skills with confidence to create impact.
drive - igniting ambition & momentum
Your job is to progress and pursue ambitious goals.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I struggle to move forward for any reason."
- "I struggle to start or maintain focused momentum"
How can you reframe the way that you currently define "success"?
We can likely use a bit more self-confidence to clear out the self-doubt that is dampening our drive. When we hit challenges that we don't feel confident to tackle (even if subconsciously), we lose our momentum. This is a sign to step back, evaluate any limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves, and shift our perspective in some way.
How can you view yourself as fully capable and successful, right here right now? What if you're not "lazy" but rather "honoring your rest cycle"? What if you don't have as much experience as others, simply because you don't need it now? What if you're not "uncaring" but rather "selective with your energy?"
Turn as many of your own traits as possible into strengths. Taking time to rest paired with deepening your self-confidence in who you are now is what reawakens unwavering drive.
action - turning intention into motion
Your job is to orchestrate initiatives and decisions that move things forward.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I don't know where to place my focus."
- "I feel blocked to move forward."
What is the best way that you can take a step back right now?
We often forget that purposeful, inspired action comes after a period of rest, recharge, and reflection. Rest creates fertile ground that allows inspiration to flow in. Inspiration then gives us clarity on what steps to take next.
Take your mind off of the matter. Release the pressure of needing to figure it out. Go and do something that feels freeing and playful.
Whether we feel blocked due to internal resistance or external factors, give yourself all that time that you need / can to let the next step come to you. You don't need to have it all figured out. You'll know when it is time to act on your next idea and what to do, when it comes.
achievement - attaining success & mastery
Your job is to make results visible and highlight the impact of accomplishments.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I doubt the value or quality of my work."
- "I feel unseen or behind in my progress."
What is the story that has brought you to where you are now?
All of our life's experiences create our unique, always-unfolding story. Reflecting on this story helps us recognize how far we've come, the skills we've developed, and the one-of-a-kind impact that we already have on others.
Instill yourself with a sense of genuine confidence. Acknowledge and give yourself the recognition that you deserve, no matter how "tiny" your achievements are. Recognize how your thinking patterns have evolved, all the skills you have picked up, the emotional openness you have developed, and the rough seas of the subconscious mind that you've learned to charter.
If anything, we create impact simply by showing other people what it looks like to embody self-appreciation. Understand your craft, how you got to where you are now, and how you are the absolute pinnacle of success, in your own way!
leadership - setting standards & example
Your job is to step into a role of responsibility with clarity and authority.
✨ Current Obstacles:
- "I don't want to model leadership due to overwhelm, fears, pressures, or lack of interest."
- "I struggle to assert authority or define my role clearly."
What boundaries do you need to set or be more clear on right now?
We define "leadership" as modeling to others how to align our life with our deepest values. We think of leadership as a responsibility to ourselves, which others naturally can emulate if they choose to.
Our lives can only feel balanced when we are living in alignment with our values - so when strive for balance, we automatically embody leadership. Balance and healthy boundaries are intertwined. Where in your life can you strengthen your boundaries, even if it'll be difficult?
Create your own definition of "leadership."
Strengthening our boundaries gives us a greater sense of inner power and confidence that helps us step into leadership roles. Allow leadership to look as authentic as possible, according to your own standards.

- a framework you use for certain processes only

- how you want to impact others
- the values that you want to integrate
Why are doll halls so important?
The more clear we are on the role we want to embody & play in the lives of others, the easier it is to give our business a sense of direction and purpose. This is the purpose that grounds us on our path and helps us overcome the challenges that come our way.
As we evolve, we may want to explore other spaces or just remind ourselves what our center is made of. We can lean into these archetypes at any point, whether we commit to just one, are drawn to several, or shift into all of them.
