The Woman Who Got You Here May Not Be Equipped to Take You There

by Prima Jope

There comes a point in almost every woman's life when the version of herself that created her current reality is no longer capable of creating the next one.

In many ways, she has succeeded.

She built the business. She created the career. She raised the family. She survived the difficult years. She became the woman that chapter required.

But every chapter asks something different of us.

The woman who learned to survive may not be the woman who knows how to receive. The woman who learned to protect herself may not be the woman capable of building deep intimacy. The woman who achieved a whole lot may not be the woman who creates from peace.

The operating system that helped you build one life can quietly become the thing preventing you from building the next.

Most women assume they need another strategy. Another qualification. Another mentor. Another plan.

Sometimes they do.

But often, the greatest transformation isn't changing what you're building. It's changing the woman building it.

That is why I spend my time exploring what I call Human Operating Systems®. Because behind every business, every relationship, every family and every life is an invisible operating system shaping the choices we make, the patterns we repeat and the futures we create.

Every experience I've created has begun with a question life asked me first. And this has become one of the most important questions I've ever had to answer:

Is the woman who got me here capable of taking me where I now want to go?

Questions To Sit With

  1. 01

    What parts of myself helped me build this chapter? Which of them are now limiting the next one?

  2. 02

    Where am I trying to create a different future using the same operating system?

  3. 03

    Who is the woman my next chapter requires me to become?
