We're our own worst critics, never mind the judgment and pressure we feel from the outside world. On an average day, we're doing our best to fend off negativity like it's our full time job.

 

We don't hear enough of the truths we need the most:

• validation of our experiences and feelings;

• affirmation that we're doing better than we think;

• celebration of our accomplishments, large and small;

• encouragement to press forward when we're ready to give up;

• and sound advice to guide and challenge us into growth.

 

Everyone deserves a confidante- someone who makes us feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment or agenda. We're each worthy of a personal cheerleader. We need a hype woman, and I'm here for it.
