You aren’t the only one who suffers when you deny your gifts to the world.

Children are watching and learning how to deal with these adverse times by observing our responses and reactions. Have you honored yourself the way you’d hope for them to do for themselves? How many million dollar ideas have you talked yourself out of over the years? Have you fully stepped into your talents? It’s important to build confidence in your unique creativity. But more importantly, to use your creative life force to become a cultural arbiter.

The elusive nature of self-belief is critical.

If you are someone who undervalues your own assets, you are denying the world innovation. Many women leaders underestimate their capabilities and rarely feel competent even when they have peaked at high performance levels. In truth, those who are most accomplished and credentialed struggle with self-worth and assurance all the same.

The gap… is in your confidence.
You may feel like a victim to circumstances that were painful and traumatic, but everyone— even you— has the ability to start telling a new story.

Re-brand yourself with courage.

Choose to untether yourself from belief systems that are no longer serving you (were they ever?) Don’t allow yourself to get sabotaged by outdated old-school expectations. Now is the time to act with conviction, integrity and dignity! We must declare that anyone’s underestimation of us will only further drive us to prove they are wrong.

There is a pink elephant in the room.

Make no mistake. THIS is the feminine shift that the experts were predicting for years prior to now. The world has never seen anything like this, so ambivalence is not exactly an outlandish reaction for us to have. It may feel as if we have taken several steps backwards, but our overall progress is monumental.

How will you choose your place in this forward movement?

No one can ever accuse you of doing nothing. Being a change agent is more than trolling for arguments on social media. It’s the willingness to get down in the mud and get dirty. Opportunity is absolutely everywhere and ripe for the taking. Once you have trained yourself to see it, you will never UNSEE it again.

Please join me in welcoming…
