I used to think being a strong woman meant being called “difficult.”
I’ve since learned the real work isn’t proving that label wrong. It’s not allowing it to have power over me at all.
When it comes to being a strong woman, there’s no right or wrong — there’s grounded or not.
Grounded means I make the call because it’s right, not because I’m fighting or fleeing a narrative that kept women small.
I’ve shrunk a good instinct before, just to avoid being called “too much.” What I know now: from a grounded place, my instincts can be trusted — and playing big is allowed. 💫
