Welcome to Empower Your Power

Where Women Connect, Learn, and Thrive

The Villages is the "Friendliest Hometown", yet it can sometimes feel busy without being fulfilling. Empower Your Power (EYP) is a club for "substance over schedule”. Beyond the golf carts and the squares lies a journey of deep personal growth.

The women of EYP come from diverse backstories and are at various places along their personal growth journeys. Some are re-inventing themselves and embracing life with unfiltered confidence. Others are struggling with their retirement identity, role transitions, boredom, health conditions, and losses that commonly come with this stage of life. Instead of looking at retirement and the challenges of aging as the end, EYP women look at this stage as a continuous series of fresh starts.

The women of EYP are reclaiming their confidence, voice, and power so they can step boldly into their next chapter without shrinking, apologizing, or waiting for permission. With a blend of mindset shifts, practical tools, discussions, inspiration, and powerful reflection, EYP helps women navigate their daily life with authority and authenticity. Through an engaging meeting experience, women rediscover who they are — and who they’re becoming.

Whether you are doing well and want to maintain your momentum; or rediscovering yourself in a new chapter of life; or going through a life quake transition; or ready to expand your impact, Empower Your Power is your place to shine bright. You don’t have to be outgoing. You don’t have to know anyone. You just have to say YES to yourself!

Join a community of dynamic women in The Villages dedicated to bouncing back, building unshakeable confidence, and living with vibrant purpose.

Why We Exist

Resilience is a lifestyle.

We’ve all earned our stripes. Whether you are navigating a new move to Florida, a change in family dynamics, or simply the feeling of "what now?", your power hasn't faded—it’s just ready for a new direction. We provide the tools to help you bounce back from life's curveballs and step into your 55+ years with a renewed sense of authority and joy.

Since resilient club leader, Nancy Stampahar, created The Villages first personal growth resident lifestyle club in October 2024, Empower Your Power has evolved into a community of over 500 women residents. Nancy’s authenticity, professional background and personal life story along with her greatest passion for empowering people to live great lives, make her a great fit to bring women together to connect, learn, grow, and uplift one another in a positive, engaging environment. Nancy calls EYP and The Villages Enrichment Academy classes her “pickleball”. Click HERE to read more about Nancy.

Why Women Love It Here

Because it feels good to:

Walk into a room and feel welcomed
Share laughter that feels genuine
Have conversations that matter
Learn something or validate something already known
Be surrounded by women who “get it”
Be surrounded by women willing to help others
Know you’re not walking this chapter alone

There is something powerful about women gathering with warmth and intention.

Who We’re For

Regardless of your relationship or retirement status, you belong here. We welcome all women, regardless of where you are along your journey. Whether you are discovering your inner power for the first time or living fully empowered, you belong here.

We welcome any woman resident in The Villages who:

Enjoys learning and growing
Wants deeper friendships

Believes it’s never too late to be who you were meant to be
Believes it’s never too late to get happy
Wants to feel energized and inspired

You don’t need to be outgoing.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need a desire to keep going and move forward.

Because this chapter of life isn’t about slowing down — it’s about stepping fully into who you are and meant to be.

When women gather with intention:

Confidence expands
Ideas flourish
Support multiplies
Joy deepens

EYP is more than just another club in The Villages — it’s a community. It’s a movement of empowered women creating connection and impact. We are not giving into aging. We don’t let anyone, even ourselves, tell us we are too old. We know nothing gets old but clothes. And we know…clothes even they come back in style! We aren’t done yet!

You’ve spent years giving, building, nurturing, and achieving.

Now it’s time to nurture yourself —
to expand your circle —
to explore what’s next —
to empower your power.

Your power is already within you. It’s your time to rise. Let’s rise together.
