There came a moment about three years ago, where it suddenly hit me, that if I were the adult standing next to me as a child, I would do everything in my power to protect her. This was such a pivotal moment in my life because before that I don’t think I had truly stepped into what it means to be a woman. In fact, I was so disconnected from it.
Most of my childhood and adolescence was spent fighting for love, ignoring my innate intuition for fear doing something wrong and feeling like I wasn’t good enough. Yet at the same time, there was a fire inside of me that felt so compelled to help women. To help them feel safe, seen and as powerful as they really are. All the things I never felt. I suppose I felt drawn to help in this way to try and find it again. Or to help others not feel the way I did.
But when that moment came three years ago, it was like something shifted and my womanhood and femininity came online. I began the process of healing generations of suppression and abuse in my family line. I knew that if I were going to be a mom one day, I refused to pass down what was passed down to me. And that started with reparenting the little girl in me that so desperately needed a female role model.
So I became her.
I became the woman I look up to. I became the woman connected to herself. I became the woman not afraid of her power and femininity. I became the woman who trusts her intuition and follows her heart. I became the woman unafraid of love because that’s her true nature. I became the woman who gives those she loves, including herself, a safe space, a home. I became the woman who knows how to soften and recognizes that her nurturing and vulnerability is actually her strength. I became the woman my daughter can look up to.
A woman’s role in this world is vital. We give life. We are magic. So we MUST do the work and lead the way. We MUST heal. We MUST reconnect to ourselves. We MUST push through the bu****it that has tried to keep us small and untrusting of ourselves. We MUST become the woman that would fiercely protect us as a child. Future generations depend on this.
Being a woman is pure magic. Happy international woman’s day! ❤️
