A SEVEN self-reflection quiz · The Fourth Power

What Is Your Current Rage Pattern?

For over 23 years I have been sitting with women in their shadow journey.

Finding the gold.

And over time something kept showing up.

Again and again, in my sessions and in my own life, I began to notice seven parts of women that were calling out the loudest. Asking to be seen. Asking to be heard. Asking to finally be understood.

I called them shadows.

And the work was always the same: meet the shadow, find the gold behind it, and discover the power that had been waiting there all along.

This is how SEVEN was born.

Seven shadows. Seven powers. Seven parts of us that are ready to be integrated.

And what I have come to understand is this:

We cannot own the power without first meeting the shadow that stands in front of it.

That is the journey.

I was going to begin with the first shadow.

But the fourth kept rising louder than the rest.

In my sessions. In my own life. In the women around me. In the world.

Rage.

And something else I have noticed:

Women are not only feeling rage right now.

Women are being called BY rage.

Because for so long it was suppressed. Pushed down. Renamed. Made small.

And now we are opening our eyes.

And what we are seeing has always been there.

A system that was not built for us.

But here is what I want you to understand before you take this quiz:

Rage is not the power.

Rage is the messenger.

It is the discomfort that arrives when one of our powers has been neglected. Unseen. Unnamed.

And it will keep arriving (in whatever form it takes for you) until we turn toward it and get curious.

When we ignore the rage inside and only see it outside it becomes destructive.

When we hear it inside, when we receive what it is carrying, it becomes something else entirely.

The foundation of real activism.

And activism looks different for every woman.

For one it is finally validating herself. Loudly. Unapologetically. Without explaining herself to anyone.

For another it is standing beside the woman next to her and saying: I see you. I believe you. You are not too much.

For another it is raising her voice so loud that the room cannot pretend it did not hear.

For another it is marching. For another it is building something that did not exist before. For another it is one small step that finally honors her own dignity.

All of it is activism. All of it matters. All of it begins in the same place.

Listening to what the rage inside is carrying.

We are living in loud times.

The pressure. The overwhelming information. The uncertainty of not knowing what is coming next (for us, for our children, and for women anywhere).

In my own life. In my community. Through the women who have walked with me (my clients, my friends, the leaders and teachers and wise women in my world) I have noticed something.

Rage has been calling us. Loudly.

Sometimes it shows up as exhaustion. Sometimes as anxiety or a heart that will not stop racing. Sometimes as resentment (that slow cold burn toward someone or something we cannot yet name). Sometimes as toxic positivity, performing okayness when everything inside is screaming. Sometimes as gaslighting ourselves into believing we are the problem. Sometimes as the overwhelm that makes us want to disappear. Sometimes as controlling or blaming (using it as an excuse to stay exactly where we are). And sometimes finally as the fire that says enough.

Most of us can feel it somewhere in the body.

Some of us feel it in the chest. Some of us in the belly. Some of us just feel exhausted.

There are days we want to take a nap and let the world roll without us for a little while. Days where everything feels like too much and we just want some peace.

And then something pulls us back up.

The soul of our business. Our calling. The thing we built because we believed it could change something.

That pull keeps us booking the calls, showing up, trying again.

Many of us were taught that looking at that fire means going somewhere dark and dangerous.

When I created SEVEN (a journey through the seven powers hidden inside our shadows) I noticed that the fourth power kept rising louder than the rest.

Even in a system that has tried to convince us we are not good enough, not evolved enough, less than. We are here. We are paying attention.

And when I learned to stop and listen (really listen) rage always had something important to say.

We are coaches. Leaders. Entrepreneurs. Thought leaders. Women building something in the middle of a system that was not built for us.

And we are doing it anyway.

With shaky voices. With exhausted bodies. Showing up anyway.

Because we know somewhere deep there has to be another way.

And rage is the part of us that refuses to stop looking for it.

Here is what I have discovered.

Rage will not let us move forward until it is listened to.

The shadow of rage has been waiting to show us a power we have not yet integrated.

This quiz is the beginning of that discovery.

It will show you where you are right now with rage. And give you a little more clarity on what kind of rage is calling you forth.
