FEELING SOCIAL?

This is Charlie. . . Charlie is one of my favourite human beings. . . She reminds me of some of the most important lessons in life that a lot of us tend to forget. . . She reminds me not to take life (or myself) too seriously. . . She reminds me to play, to dance and to laugh (a lot). She reminds me to be silly. To be playful. To remember the little girl inside. . . She asks for what she wants unapologetically (like every woman should be encouraged to do). She's a little sassy. (Maybe a lot sassy). And she likes to remind you that she will not be tamed. She is wild, uninhibited and all kinds of fierceness in such a tiny package. . . Everyone should take a page from the book of Charlie.
The other day I was having a drink with a friend of mine and two of her acquaintances that I’d never met before. She introduced me as a women's leadership coach that does "women's empowerment stuff". . . Immediately, the man made a face and created an "X" like gesture with his two index fingers. . . I was curious where this was going to go. . . I looked at him. “I'm sorry... I feel like you have something important to contribute here?” . . “Well,” he began, “I'm skeptical of so called women's empowerment.” (Using air quotes when he said the words “women’s empowerment”) . . “Empowered woman are...” - he struggled to find the right word before he landed on, “dangerous”. He continued, “They always have something to say. Something they’re trying to prove.” . . Heaven forbid that women have something to say. . . This man is the exact reason why I do what I do. Why I'm an advocate of women owning their power and unapologetically speaking their truth. . . We need more of these said "dangerous women" speaking out. We need more of these "dangerous women" demonstrating the power they have inside of them. We need more of these "dangerous women" giving a voice to their opinions. Because that's when oppression gets challenged. That's when change begins to occur. And that's when powerful fucking leaders are born. . . Cheers to the women who are dangerously empowered and feel safe and supported to share their voice. The world needs you.
SISTERHOOD HEALS. . . This morning I read a passage out of a book I recommend to all of my clients - "Women Who Run with the Wolves" (and one I would recommend to every woman alive..) that sums up the importance of sisterhood. The power of community over competition and comparison. The strength that occurs when you reach out for support instead of trying to do this whole journey of life on your own, trying to wear a brave and proud face instead of speaking up and feeling worthy of asking for the support you truly need (especially for those fiercely independent women out there... 🙋🏼‍♀️) . . "Being with real people who warm us, who endorse and exalt our creativity is essential to the flow of creative life. Otherwise we freeze. Nurture is a chorus of voices both from within and without that notices the state of a woman's being, takes care to encourage it, and if necessary, gives comfort as well. . . When women are out in the cold, they tend to live on fantasies instead of action. Fantasy of this sort is the great anesthetizer of women. I know women who have beeb gifted with beautiful voices. I know women who are natural storytellers. But they are isolated, or feel disenfranchised in some way. They are shy, which is often a cover for a starving animus. They have difficulty gaining a sense that they are supported from within, or by friends, family, community. . . Anyone who does not support your art, your life, is not worth your time..... otherwise we are compelled to live a quarterlife that freezes all thought, hope, gifts, writings, playings, designing and dancing." . . So. much. yes. And a shoutout to all of my sisters out there - so much love and gratitude for you ✨
Someone once told me that around the age of 29/30 is often when people experience a rock bottom or their version of a "dark night of the soul" if they aren't living in alignment with their soul's mission and truth - and the start of this year kicked my ass. It was as if the Universe was telling me to wake up, slow down and ask where in my life am I living out of alignment. . . My location. My home. My material possessions. My relationship. My previous way of doing and of being. The direction I thought I was going. I outgrew the container I was trying to force myself into. . . So it's been a time of processing, evaluating, questioning, course-correcting, decluttering, detoxing, grieving, healing, and taking a step back to breathe it all in. . . You are allowed to question things. You are allowed to feel lost, to feel uncertain, to be unsure of where you're going next. (I encourage it.) You're simply shedding the old layers of yourself that no longer fit with the direction you're going. You're growing. You're evolving. You're healing. You're making room for more freedom and expansion and a really, really exciting journey ahead - and that's a beautiful f*cking thing. . . . . -------------------------------------------------- p/c: unknown #womenrising #womenempoweringwomen #freespirit #girltribe #wildwoman #wildwomansisterhood #enjoythemoment #empowerment #speakyourtruth #iamher #bethechange #loveyourselfcompletely
