“Even if it's set in stone, I'll smash that future!”

I've been watching a lot of anime lately, and this is one of my favorite lines ever.

In a recent episode of My Hero Academia, the world is on a precipice. The villain has captured a dangerous power for himself, and he’s poised to destroy humanity for his own morbid gain.

The ray of hope is small. Our heroes aren’t much, just a ragtag bunch of students and teachers from a superhero training school.

One of the youngest kids, a first-year student barely out of training, jumps into the fray.

His teacher has the power to see the near future, and he shouts at the kid to come back.

Tears stream down his face as he whispers to the kid, “You cannot stop him. I'm sorry.” He relays the vision he saw, a bleak ending where the kid dies at the hands of the villain.

It’s over. The kid now knows he’s on a doomed mission, facing the inevitability of defeat.

So this is what he does:

He flies into the fray. And as he flies away, he looks back and shouts:

“Even if it's set in stone, I'll smash that future!”

The villain pursues him, the battle erupting into chaos and doom. The kid is almost down for the count, but he summons the last of his power, to a level he didn’t think he was capable of. He uses all of his strength, and he brings down the villain with the force of his own belief in his ability.

He wins.

As the crowd celebrates and the heroes regroup, the teacher is ecstatic – but stunned. None of his visions of the future have ever diverged from the vision he saw. And on this day, he saw a future where all hope was lost.

And yet.

That didn’t happen.

The force of the hero’s will created a different future. ​

That scene has stayed with me, rekindling an idea I’ve had for awhile – to design a course for women that will help you find your own force of will to create a new future. Because:

What would happen if we all channeled our will into our own heroic story instead of falling victim to the voices that tell us to lose hope?

Introducing The Heroine’s Arc: A course to help you remember who the f*ck you are

The course will help you find and give voice to your own heroic power. I’ve used this method myself, to prepare for speaking engagements about my personal story, and it was so powerful that I’ve always wanted to make it into something others could do for themselves.

So why not? I think it’s time.

Because:

❓ Whose sh*tty words are in your head about the things you can’t do?

❓ What if the monster in your story wasn’t failure but forgetting who you are?

​
And what if mapping your heroine’s arc could help you remember the battles you’ve won and give you strengths to carry into new adventures?

🔹 Feeling powerless to make a difference? What if the story you tell yourself is the key to reclaiming your power?

🔹 Feeling stuck in your role? Mapping out your story could be the first step toward reigniting your ambition.

🔹 Struggling with imposter syndrome? Your past holds the proof of your capability—if you know where to look.

​

We’ll cover all this and more in The Heroine’s Arc. I'm designing it now, so there'll be an opportunity to shape the course based on your goals, questions, and feedback. Join the waitlist to have your voice included and help create something that supports your personal journey.
