The word sovereign found Susan before she fully understood why — and it’s changing everything.
In her recent blog, she shared what sovereignty truly means to her in 2026 and how the I AM practice is reshaping her life.
Embracing Sovereignty: A Year of Personal Empowerment
February 12, 2026
For the year 2026, a word popped out to me- sovereign.
At first, I didn’t fully grasp the depth of what this word meant, other than it symbolized independence. But over the past month, I’ve come to realize that this word carries so much more significance for me.
Last year, I felt a bit caught between competing interests from different groups, all vying for attention and control. It didn’t feel great to be caught in the middle, especially when I wasn’t sure where I fit into all the noise. At that point, I made a conscious decision to become a sovereign nation — to stand firm in my own space, separate from the chaos. That was the definition I clung to initially.
But sovereignty has started to mean so much more to me than just standing apart. It’s about reclaiming my inner authority and embracing my personal power without needing to fight against anything or anyone. Sovereignty isn’t about separation but about connection to my truest self.
Tapping into the I AM philosophy has been crucial in this process. It’s helped me reconnect with my essence and own my path with clarity. By affirming “I AM” every day, I’ve been able to reclaim my sovereign self from all the external pressures and step into the person I’m meant to be: grounded, empowered, and free.
By doing this, I began the journey of writing a book called The Discovery of Who I AM. I made the decision to stop the habit of looking outward and instead began looking inward. This shift feels as though it’s something humanity needs to do: each of us becoming our own sovereign nation, living from our I AMs.
To me, being sovereign is about taking full responsibility for my life. It’s not about control or force: it’s about standing in my own truth and trusting that I am capable of creating my own reality. By embracing I AM, I’ve found the strength to make decisions from a place of self-awareness and alignment. Sovereignty is no longer about resistance; it’s about flowing in the direction of my true desires and purpose.
How I Plan to Embody Sovereignty This Year
Taking Ownership of My Actions: I am the creator of my life. Every choice I make aligns with my highest values and intentions.
Setting Boundaries: I am worthy of my own space and peace. I trust myself to say no when something doesn’t feel aligned and yes when it does.
Embracing Self-Leadership: I trust my intuition to guide me. I am my own leader, and I step into my sovereignty with courage and clarity.
Sovereignty and I AM: A Daily Practice
The I AM philosophy is at the heart of my sovereignty practice. Every day, I affirm my personal power, connecting to my inner truth with statements like:
I AM worthy, I AM enough, I AM empowered. These words ground me and remind me that I have everything I need within me to shape my reality. By repeating I AM daily, I not only connect with my true essence, but I also claim my sovereign right to live in alignment with my authentic self.
The Invitation
I invite you to reflect on what sovereignty means for you this year. How can you step into your personal power and take ownership of your life? The I AM practice is a tool that can help you claim your own sovereignty. It’s not about fighting against anything — it’s about standing in your truth, free from external noise, and fully embracing who you are.
You have the right to be sovereign in your own life, and the I AM philosophy is a gentle yet powerful way to begin that journey.
