Then vs Now | She Was Always a Leader
She didn’t know she was a leader yet. But God did. 👇🏾
That girl in the photo? She was juggling everything — working in an international law firm, raising babies, long commutes, no nearby family, no roadmap.
She was capable. But she hadn’t yet learned the most important leadership lesson:
You have to lead yourself FIRST.
That’s what this book is teaching me right now — Be Your Future Self Now by Dr Benjamin Hardy.
1 page a day. Done. ✅
And here’s what hit me today from the introduction — the concept of Identity.
Not what you’ve done.
Not what you earn.
Not what others say.
Identity = what you are MOST committed to.
When I was that young woman in the photo, I was committed to surviving.
Now? I’m committed to becoming.
Becoming the wife who contributes.
The mom who models courage.
The woman who leads herself well — so she can genuinely help other women lead themselves.
Leaders lead self FIRST. Then they help other Leaders LEAD themselves.
If you’re in this community, that’s already who you’re becoming. 🙌🏾
