Speaking up can feel scary. Most of the time, we’re the ones quieting ourselves. But every time you speak up, you prove to that inner mean-girl voice—and to other women—that your voice has value. Think back: the last time you spoke up, how did it feel?

Are you leveraging evidence of your strength? Don't forget about all those times you struggled and overcame! Use that as evidence that you CAN do hard things! ❤️💪🏽

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to make ourselves smaller—physically, emotionally, or even in conversation. It’s time to unlearn that. Some of us are further along in that process than others—what’s helped you start claiming your space instead of stepping aside?

There’s a big difference between thinking “I let myself go” and believing “I deserve to feel strong and healthy.” One keeps you stuck in guilt. The other helps you find proof that you’re capable—and raises the standards you hold for yourself. Where are you finding evidence that supports your worth today?
