In this the season 4 opener of The Nine Oh Six, Olivia Cream and Archita Fritz tackle fear, power and limiting beliefs. Lean in as they challenge each other’s beliefs on strategic vs. tactical power, controlling the controllables and not give power to our fears.

The poem that Archita shares in the episode is below and we encourage all to take out a piece of paper and write your version of the ‘I am’ poem. It is a powerful exercise Archita learned about in her How Women Lead fellowship program. It is a great exercise in claiming your power back and making it your own!

Volume up, Season 4 is going to be great!

I am not a victim

I am not the narrative of bullies

I am not the single story

I am not just an immigrant Indian woman

I am not angry

I am not perfect

But,

I am Archita

I am passionate

I am accountable

I am driven to excellence

I am a caring mother

I am a compassionate partner

I am making an impact on those I serve

I am a connector

I am a friend who always shows up

I am powerful

I am the holder of all my stories past and those to come

I am not perfect

I am enough
