Both Are Worthy Of Respect
April 7, 2020
No matter how much or little you’re wearing, how you show up online or in the real world, your education, your bank account, your body type, your job title… you are worthy of respect.
That seems so obvious, but the world is still learning, or I guess…unlearning.
I’ve recently been reminded of that this past week when some interesting conversations came up around powerful women, and what they do or not do. Namely, “they don’t show up online wearing less”.
But, fact is – some do.
I am one.
This uneducated mother of 3, who went from waiting tables to landing a career job to becoming the CEO of her own dang company. I am powerful in my body, and I am powerful beyond it.
Because our bodies are not everything. We know this. We know we are more than our forms. But there’s also the reality that the way we view ourselves and narratives we hear around our bodies really does impact other facets of our life, and it’s ok to show up and talk about that. And it’s also ok to not. 🙏💕
Special shout out to IG accounts @bodyposipanda @kenziebrenna for helping me navigate this conversation this week around powerful and successful humans, and how lucky we are to live in a world we are forming that reminds us: that can look like anything, and all deserve respect.
