In this meaningful episode of It’s Hertime, Cody Sanders sits down with Aubin Palmer—registered nurse turned author, mother of three daughters, and creator of the Power Women movement—for an honest conversation about what happens when strong, capable women start to feel quietly disconnected from themselves.

Aubin shares her journey from working as an RN caring for women in vulnerable seasons to feeling the persistent inner nudge that there was more she was meant to create. That calling ultimately led to the creation of Power Women, a collaborative book featuring the lived experiences of more than 50 women whose stories remind readers that power doesn’t always look loud, polished, or linear.

Together, Cody and Aubin explore the emotional and identity shifts many women face—especially during motherhood, burnout, hormonal transitions, and major life pivots—and why so many high-capacity women find themselves feeling stretched thin or disconnected despite doing everything “right.”

They also discuss the powerful themes that emerged from compiling women’s stories, why storytelling can be deeply healing for the nervous system, and how the Power Women movement is giving forward by placing books into the hands of women navigating particularly tender seasons, including postpartum mothers.

This episode is a supportive listen for any woman who has been the helper, the caretaker, or the one holding everything together—and is ready to come back home to herself.

In this episode, listeners will learn:

•Aubin Palmer’s transition from registered nurse to movement builder

•Why strong women often experience seasons of disconnection

•The most common themes that emerged from 50+ women’s stories

•What power really looks like in quiet or difficult seasons

•How storytelling supports emotional and nervous system healing

•Who the Power Women book is especially meant to support

•How the book is being donated to women in challenging circumstances

•One small step women can take this week to reconnect with themselves

This episode is especially for women who:

•Feel torn between caring for others and caring for themselves

•Are navigating postpartum, burnout, or identity shifts

•Have been told they’re “doing great” but don’t feel like themselves

•Are craving reconnection, clarity, and emotional steadiness

•Want to feel seen and understood in this season of life
