MY STORY
SiobhanPortraits-13.jpg

IMpower was founded by Siobhan Lacey-Chow, a former Corporate Executive, Leader, Changemaker, and Passionate Entrepreneur, who has faced her fair share of life-changing adversities. The idea for IMpower was born out of her personal lived experiences. In her search for connection, while navigating through these adversities, it inspired within her, to create a platform and build a Community - IMpower, where others could come together, offer support and share resources with one another. These transformative, lived-experiences, spearheaded Siobhan to realize the importance of having a support system during times of adversity, and her intention to provide that for others. They continually serve, as yet another reminder, to live the gift of life to its fullest and to be the change she wishes to see in the World. 

A DEFINING MOMENT

One defining moment that solidified the need for IMpower, was Her own brush with Cancer. However, it was a life-changing car accident, a decade ago, that truly set the wheels in motion for IMpower. The accident deemed catastrophic, along with the sustained multiple injuries – leaving her to learn on her own – how to re-build her physical, cognitive and emotional abilities again. 

It ignited a fire within Siobhan to create a massive impact and inspire others to do the same - to serve and IMpower others, to be IMpowered, to conquer their own life adversities, with a healthy mind, body and soul connection. She was able to and continues to, create, curate and bring to fruition, the life that she truly desires, most authentic to Her, on this journey she calls life. 

As an Advocate for Mental Health, through Inspirational Speaking, Podcast Interviews, Published Features and other various Global Outlets, Initiatives and Corporate Collaborations, Siobhan shares her triumphant and thought-provoking life-journey thus far, with her game-changing tool box and successful step-by-step strategies. Her intriguing lived experiences, goes to show that if she can do it, then she just proved it can be done, and anything is possible when you put your mind to it!

As her life’s motto so eloquently states, “When there is a will, there is truly always a way!” ~Siobhan Lacey-Chow

Alongside these initiatives, the intentional creation of the IMpower Community, where like-minded individuals can come together and support one another to do the same, was born. The IMpower Community not only provides a space for individual growth, but also, to support one another and each other's Community’s. 

STANDING STRONG & IMpowered TOGETHER

Today, Siobhan and the IMpower Family stand proud in celebrating ten years of IMpower and counting. We have made a difference in the lives of many and continue to do so every day. As Meghan Markle once said, "The dream is to create something that will endure for generations." And that is what IMpower will continue to do, with the help and support of our incredible evolving and flourishing Community, of like-minded Leaders, Changemakers and Passionate Entrepreneurs. So let's come together, share our experiences and IMpower each other, to make a positive impact in the World. As a Community, we can support and uplift each other, in our personal and professional journeys. We can learn from one another, share knowledge and resources, and collaborate to make a bigger impact in the World.

At IMpower, we believe that everyone has the power to create positive change. It starts with IMpowering ourselves through self-awareness, self-care, self-patience and self-love. From there, we can extend that IMpowerment to others and create a ripple effect of change.

As JAMES ALLEN so eloquently shared in his book...

From Poverty to Power, “Think good thoughts, and they will quickly become actualized in your outward life in the form of good conditions. Control your soul-forces, and you will be able to shape your outward life as you will. The difference between a savior and a sinner is this, that the one has a perfect control of all the forces within him; the other is dominated and controlled by them.” 

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we know that there is still so much more to be done. We will continue to push boundaries, challenge norms and strive for a better future for all. 

Whether you are facing your own personal challenges or looking for ways to make a positive impact in the World, we welcome you with open arms.

TESTIMONIALS

"The wonderful thing about art & culture is in how it moves us emotionally, leading each of us to view life and experience through a different lens.  It can be transformative.  So too is Siobhan Lacey-Chow an artist, a life adversity warrior, inspiring others through her story of living a life with a traumatic brain injury.  Choosing to empower with impact, Siobhan mirrors what is capable in each of us, and shares how to develop a support system, even when it appears as if you might be beyond a medical expert's opinion of recovery.   Siobhan radiates with positivity and warmth and I can't possibly think about her and her lovely family without smiling.  A featured guest speaker at FULL TILT 2023, a forum for female food entrepreneurs, Siobhan Lacey-Chow shared her journey, and the tools she pain-stakingly developed along the way, to cope with life's vicissitudes of having a traumatic brain injury.  Recently, a food founder shared with me how that session moved her, and she thinks of it often as she deals with her own life as a cancer survivor, an elderly mother with dementia, and a sister with Huntington's disease.  Those tools, that story, the near death experience, and how being focused on building more than a survival mechanism, but a life to thrive in, is Siobhan's mission and gift of artistry to share with the world."
