The IVP Woman: Understanding Her Soul’s Blueprint

Understanding the Three Phases of Feminine Transformation

Who Is the IVP Woman?

The IVP Woman is the embodiment of the upright Empress card in the Tarot – she who has claimed her throne through fire, water, and earth. She is Ingenious. Valiant. Powerhouse. But unlike the fairy tale version of empowerment, the IVP Woman has earned her crown through cycles of death and rebirth, each one teaching her to trust herself more deeply.

• She is not the woman who had everything handed to her.
• She is the woman who had everything taken from her and chose to rebuild – not just once, but as many times as necessary.
• She understands that true power isn’t about never falling; it’s about rising every single time with more wisdom, more grace, and more fire than before.

The IVP Woman recognises that transformation isn’t a destination – it’s a way of being. She has learned to dance with change, to find opportunity in crisis, and to trust the intelligence of her own becoming.

The Empress Energy: Your Divine Blueprint

In the Tarot, the upright Empress represents abundance, creativity, fertility, and nurturing power. She sits on her throne surrounded by nature, crown upon her head, sceptre in hand – but her power isn’t dominating or controlling. It’s generative, creative, life-giving.

The IVP Woman embodies this Empress energy by:

• Creating abundance from nothing
• Nurturing others while honouring herself
• Ruling her domain with wisdom and compassion
• Trusting her intuition over external authority
• Generating new life (projects, businesses, relationships) from her authentic power

She has learned that true feminine power isn’t about competing with masculine energy – it’s about fully embodying her own divine blueprint. She leads through inspiration rather than intimidation, influences through authenticity rather than manipulation.

The Three Phases of Becoming an IVP Woman

Phase 1: The Ingenious Phase – “Survival Meets Creativity”

“When you have nothing but your wits and your will”

Core Energy: Creative problem-solving under pressure

The Ingenious Phase begins in crisis. This is where women find themselves when their old life no longer works – when they’ve left the abusive relationship, lost the job, been rejected by family, or faced any situation that demands they figure it out alone.

Characteristics of the Ingenious Phase:

• Resource scarcity but mental resourcefulness
• High stress but increasing clarity
• Isolation from old support systems
• Creative solutions emerging from necessity
• Building new foundations from scratch

What She’s Learning:

• That she’s more capable than she ever knew
• How to trust her own judgment over others’ opinions
• That crisis can be a gateway to a breakthrough
• How to find opportunity in impossible situations

Common Challenges:

• Overwhelm from having to figure everything out
• Loneliness from losing old connections
• Self-doubt about her decisions
• Financial stress and uncertainty

Signs She’s Ready for Phase 2:

• Solutions start flowing more easily
• She feels more confident in her judgment
• Basic needs are stabilised
• She begins to see patterns in her problem-solving abilities

Phase 2: The Valiant Phase – “Courage in Action”

“When you have to do it scared, but you do it anyway”

Core Energy: Building courage muscle through consistent action

The Valiant Phase is where the IVP Woman learns that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s action in the presence of fear. She has survived the crisis of the Ingenious Phase and now must build the life she actually wants, not just escape what she doesn’t want.

Characteristics of the Valiant Phase:

• Taking calculated risks regularly
• Standing up when it matters most
• Setting boundaries that protect her energy
• Pursuing goals that seem “impossible” for someone with her background
• Facing opposition with grace and determination

What She’s Learning:

• That her voice matters and deserves to be heard
• How to discern between intuitive fear and limiting fear
• That she can be both soft and strong simultaneously
• How to persist through others’ doubt and criticism

Common Challenges:

• Imposter syndrome in new environments
• Family/friends not supporting her growth
• Fear of success being “too much”
• Balancing courage with wisdom

Signs She’s Ready for Phase 3:

• Fear becomes excitement more often than paralysis
• She naturally takes leadership roles
• Others start asking for her advice and guidance
• Her energy shifts from “proving herself” to “being herself”

Phase 3: The Powerhouse Phase – “Owning Your Throne”

“When you stop asking permission and start giving direction”

Core Energy: Authentic leadership and generative power

The Powerhouse Phase is where the IVP Woman fully embodies the upright Empress. She no longer questions her right to be here – she knows she belongs wherever she chooses to show up. This isn’t arrogance; it’s the quiet confidence that comes from having survived, thrived, and integrated her lessons.

Characteristics of the Powerhouse Phase:

• Natural leadership without force or manipulation
• Generous mentoring of other women in earlier phases
• Multiple revenue streams aligned with her values
• Global thinking and international impact
• Creating platforms for other women’s voices

What She’s Mastered:

• Her own worth is not up for negotiation
• How to influence through inspiration rather than intimidation
• That her success uplifts other women rather than threatening them
• How to hold space for others’ transformation while maintaining her own boundaries

Common Experiences:

• Others naturally seek her guidance and wisdom
• Opportunities align with her vision seemingly effortlessly
• She creates more value than she consumes
• Her presence alone inspires others to step into their power

The Ongoing Journey: The Powerhouse Phase isn’t a destination – it’s a way of being. The IVP Woman continues to cycle through death and rebirth, but from a place of trust rather than fear. Each new level requires its own becoming.

The Death and Rebirth Cycles: How Transformation Really Works

The IVP Woman understands that becoming isn’t linear. She doesn’t transform once and stay transformed – she evolves through continuous cycles of death and rebirth, each one taking her to a higher level of authenticity and power.

The Cycle Pattern:

1. Recognition – Something in her life no longer serves
2. Resistance – Fighting the change that’s trying to come
3. Surrender – Letting the old version of herself die
4. Void – The uncomfortable space between who she was and who she’s becoming
5. Emergence – The new version of herself is born
6. Integration – Living from this new level of power
7. Recognition – A new cycle begins

Why Multiple Cycles? Each death cycle allows her to shed another layer of conditioning, another limiting belief, another version of herself that was shaped by others’ expectations rather than her own truth. The woman who leaves the abusive marriage is different from the woman who starts the business, who is different from the woman who moves countries, who is different from the woman who writes the book.

Each version is necessary. Each death makes space for more of her authentic self to emerge.

How to Recognise an IVP Woman

• She doesn’t look like what you expect power to look like.
• She might be the quiet one in the corner who’s rebuilding her entire life, or the bold one speaking truth in boardrooms she “doesn’t belong in.”
• She could be the single mother creating an online business, the 40-something going back to school, or the woman who left everything behind to start over in a new country.

You’ll recognise her by:

• Her willingness to start over when something isn’t serving her
• Her ability to find solutions when there seem to be none
• Her courage to stand alone when her growth threatens others
• Her generous spirit toward other women on similar journeys
• Her unshakeable knowing that she was made for more

She doesn’t:

• Wait for permission to change her life
• Shrinks herself to make others comfortable
• Stay in situations that diminish her light
• Compete with other women – she collaborates and elevates
• Let her past define her future possibilities

The IVP Woman’s Relationship with Power

The IVP Woman has a unique relationship with power because she’s earned it the hard way. She doesn’t wield power over others – she embodies power within herself and uses it to lift others.

Her power is:

• Generative rather than destructive
• Inclusive rather than exclusive
• Inspiring rather than intimidating
• Authentic rather than performed
• Service-oriented rather than self-serving

She understands that true power comes from alignment with her highest self, not from controlling external circumstances. She influences through example, leads through inspiration, and creates change through being fully herself.

The IVP Woman knows:

• Her healing heals her bloodline
• Her success gives other women permission to succeed
• Her voice matters and deserves to be heard
• Her dreams are not too big – the world is too small for anything less
• Her becoming is not just personal – it’s planetary

Your Invitation to Become

If you recognise yourself in these words, you are either an IVP Woman in becoming or already embodying this energy. There is no “behind” or “ahead” – there is only your unique path of becoming.

Ask yourself:

• What in your life is ready to die so something new can be born?
• Which phase are you currently in, and what does your next level of becoming require?
• How can you honour both your healing journey and your emerging power?
• What would you create if you truly believed you were the Empress of your own life?

Remember: You were not born to live small, to serve others’ limited vision of who you should be, or to apologise for the light you carry. You were born to become the fullest expression of yourself – ingenious in your solutions, valiant in your courage, and a powerhouse in your impact.

The world needs what you came here to give. Your becoming matters not just for you, but for every woman watching, wondering if she too can transform her life.

The time is now. The woman is you. The throne is waiting.
