Fairy tales have painted us a picture of queens in elegant gowns, sitting gracefully on their thrones, or waiting for their prince to come and save the day. But the reality of what it means to be a “queen” in today’s world is far from the dainty stories we grew up with. In fact, real queens are not waiting to be saved—they are leading movements, breaking barriers, and fighting for their rights and the rights of others. Shifting the Narrative: From Fairy Tales to Reality Fairy tales often present an idealized version of womanhood—passive, quiet, and waiting for things to happen. This portrayal, while cute in a storybook, doesn’t reflect the power and resilience of women in real life. True queens are not defined by crowns and castles; they are defined by their courage to stand up, speak out, and challenge the status quo. Throughout history, and even now, we’ve seen women breaking chains, shattering glass ceilings, and standing in solidarity for change.

This idea is not about passivity or avoidance—it’s about the deliberate and intentional choice to protect your peace. The Energy Cost of Reaction Everything we engage with consumes our energy—whether it’s an argument with a friend, defending yourself from a critic, or holding onto something painful from the past. Often, we think by responding or reacting, we are protecting ourselves or addressing the situation. But in reality, our energy is a finite resource, and not every battle is worth the drain it causes. When we feed negativity, drama, or situations beyond our control, we give away our power to external forces. We essentially allow those things to dictate our emotions, our actions, and our mental state. But here’s the shift: what if you chose not to respond? Not to give these things your attention or energy? Starving What Doesn’t Serve You The idea of “starving” something means withdrawing the energy and attention that keeps it alive. Imagine the negativity or conflict as a fire—by constantly fueling it with responses, arguments, or attention, we allow it to grow and consume more of our peace. But when we withdraw that fuel, the fire dies down on its own. It loses its power over us. Choosing not…
