I’m grateful to have her confidence to look at in times when I need a reminder that we can all do really hard things. She can fix anything and everything around the house and has inspired me to take on house projects to make me feel like an independent bad-ass too. I can barely remember what time my little man gets out of school, I have no idea how she did it. She managed to work a 9-5 job while we were growing up while ensuring my sister and I always made it to practices and meets she also volunteered with the booster club and always showing her smiling face at the school to help out when she could. What I went through for the last six months she went through for almost 20 years and I have no idea how she didn’t break and crumble onto the bathroom floor like I so badly wanted to do many times. My Mom is easily one of the strongest women in the world.

I realized recently that for a while I was very intimidated by many of these women, keeping a slight distance because at the time I didn’t know how to fully handle the powerhouse of strength I was surrounded by. I am beginning to realize the magic that happens when strong, powerful women get together to help support each other and watch one another shine. I am very quickly remembering how many incredibly powerful women I have in my life, specifically the ones that I grew up with. We’ve been able to talk through things and figure things out by listening and following our intuitions together.Ĭan I tell you how fucking powerful that is? We both aren’t very much into long, drawn out conversations - I got my get-shit-done attitude from her and we both always tend to get straight to the point when having a conversation.Īs we’ve began talking more, not only have I enjoyed it immensely, but I’ve also realized how similar we are in how we think and process information. Over the last few weeks I have spoken to my Mom more on the phone than I have in years.

I wanna see you be brave meaning
