Happy International Women’s Day!
It wasn't so long ago that we as women were seen as "less than"; the weaker gender; not equal.
But times have changed. I was recently in a coaching program where out of the top seven most successful individuals, six were women. It's so empowering to see how women around the world are coming together to support each other and lift each other up.
The work that I do provides me a front row seat to the brilliant show that occurs when women decide to take their power back and put themselves first, and I can't tell you how incredible it has been to watch my sisters rise up over the last few years.
Some of them, you can see below, where they joined me for retreats from around the world. Regardless of their nationality, skin color, hair texture, eye color, family situation, or position at work, they have one thing in common: They are all worthy and beautiful.
And so are you: worthy and beautiful
The theme of this year's International Women's Day is "Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World."
Be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi.
Celebrating women doesn't mean we ignore the challenges
While we have made a lot of progress, there is still more work to do - we aren't done yet!
AND we get to still celebrate how far we've come in this patriarchal world. Because celebration doesn't ignore what's not right yet - it just focuses on the progress made.
Becoming the leader of your own life
How often are we lead by what's written in our CV? By work? By money? By outside validation from your boss or partner? By what others desire and need from us?
I am on fire with the passion to help you become the leader you desire to be, the leader of your own life in the first place. So today, beautiful, I encourage you to be a leader and lead yourself into your very own fulfilled and glowing life.
What's your next step?
One of the most impactful books I've read recently is called "Pussy" by Regena Thomashauer aka Mama Gena. Every woman needs to read this book! Click here to get yours.
In honor of all the women that have brought us here, the women that continue the work, the women who don't know where to start, the women who don't have a voice at all, and the girls and women of tomorrow.
Much love,
