EMPOWERED WOMEN, EMPOWER WOMEN! Let me say that again for those up the back… EMPOWERED WOMEN, EMPOWER WOMEN!
We as females are here to be celebrated no just on international women’s day, but EVERY DAMN DAY! Which is why at the least I will be celebrating not only myself as a female, but other women all week long!
Why? Well we are something to be celebrated!! Call me biased, but I think being a female has a whole host of incredible benefits that are often forgotten or overlooked or underestimated!
I’ve been doing a LOT of reading lately, particularly around the female body and our biology as well as spirituality and understanding the divine feminine energy and nature we all have within us, and let me tell you, we are POWERFUL!
Let’s not forget the fact that our bodies have the ability to MAKE ANOTHER HUMAN… We literally have the ability to bring LIFE into the world should we choose, and create a home for this little human from the moment of conception for 9 months to live inside of us… If that isn’t miraculous I don’t know what is!
Whether you are someone that wants to be a mother, is a mother or never tends to be a mother, we have this incredible body that has the capabilities to do so! Our hormones, biology, and mind are wired completely differently to that from men, and that is something to be CELEBRATED not looked down upon.
It is about time we shifted the mentality away from viewing women as small men, and started celebrating ourselves for being exactly as we are, a mother, sister, daughter, partner, wife, friend, business owner, colleague, support system… often everything to everyone!
My journey as an entrepreneur has helped me see just the magnificence of what females can achieve in the workforce, beyond our biology and I believe that is something to be celebrated! There are incredible women out there shattering the glass ceiling for us to follow in their footsteps and shatter it even further!!
This is not a blog here to praise us for being the better sex or anything like that, but I do think that all too often, especially with the way we are represented in the media, the expectations we place on ourselves for being the women who has to do it all, have the body, run the household, have the babies, be the best daugther and sister, be the friend that gives the advice as well as successful in our careers… it is an exhausting expectation, and it is TIME to celebrate all you are right now, simply because you EXIST!!
When we step into celebrating our truest, authentic selves, we live our lives in flow, tap into our divine feminine nature more and things come with ease and grace. We live in a patriarchal society which has led many of us, myself included to feel like we have to get caught up in the rat race and work as hard as possible to achieve success. If we aren’t doing everything then we are nothing.
LET’S WAKE UP TO THIS! You right now, are doing the best you can, in the best way you know how, and if you aren’t happy with where you are, you have the ability to change that! But most importantly know that the power lies WITHIN you, not through the external validation or recognition you think that whatever you need is going to bring you!
One of the most valuable lessons I have learnt as an entrepreneur and as a female is to value and celebrate other women; COLLABORATION + CELEBRATION over COMPETITION!
We can get caught up in the beliefs that it is hard for women to break into a certain industry or to make a name for themselves, and so when we see other women doing it, it can make us feel inferior or like we aren’t able to do it anymore as that position has been filled and now it would mean trying to outdo that person to be successful.
There couldn’t be anything further from the truth!
Celebrate the woman and her success that you see in front of you, and allow it to be evidence to you and your mind that it is possible for you too! Let her success help you drive towards yours, this is EMPOWERING! One woman’s success does not need to mean your failure, know that you can do anything you set your mind to, and that switching your mindset to collaboration and celebration means you are lifting your energy, your frequency and will allow you to align and attract the life you want in the same way the woman you have just celebrated has!
So below I have listed some of the women that I have celebrated, have admired, have coached me and have enabled me to take the stepping stones to success that I now have and will continue to do so in the future.
I then encourage you to find 5 – 10 women to celebrate in your life! If they are still around, message them, celebrate them, let them know the impact they have had on you and how thankful you are for their presence!
The top ten women I am celebrating this week (among many)…
