The Capacity Code: Unlocking Energy, Resilience, and Sustainable Success
The Capacity Unlocking Energy, Resilience, and Sustainable Success
By Valarie L. Somerville Harris
We don’t have a self-care problem. We have a capacity crisis.
You’ve tried bubble baths. Time off. Pushing harder. Slowing down. Maybe even disappearing for a while, only to return more depleted than before.
The Capacity Code™ is here to shift the conversation entirely.
This isn’t another hustle-hard manifesto, empty self-care trend, or productivity playbook. This is a radical reimagining of what it means to feel powerful, purposeful, and present in a world that constantly pulls us out of alignment.
Written by capacity strategist, licensed trauma therapist, 7-figure teaching practice owner, and international educator Valarie L. Somerville Harris, The Capacity Code™ introduces a multidimensional framework to reclaim your energy and restore your resilience—without sacrificing ambition, leadership, or authenticity.
