So often women are afraid to really ask for what they want even though that’s the number one way to thrive in life. Not only that, we’re afraid to figure out what it is we want in the first place. It’s vulnerable and can be scary. It also creates a divide – people who support and agree with what we believe and want and people who don’t.

To add to this, there’s probably an old story (or three) from the past at play that serves as proof that you can’t always get what you want. Or that it’s not safe to want. Or that it’s not safe to be who you want to be. 

We all have a past but we don’t all know how to thrive in our present and our future in spite of that past. So many women stay silent or give up on themselves, tired of trying and not seeing results, or only achieving a version of what they really want and settling for it. It’s scary 

What’s worse than being afraid to say what you want?

A slow, unchanging, comfortable life where you exist but you don’t thrive. You do the same things, think the same things, have the same habits, but you never transform into your best self or find out what you’re capable of. To me, that’s worse than death.

Do things, 
change stuff up,
fail and learn,
succeed and learn,
be willing to change.
