There are so many creative ways women tell themselves they’re not enough.

For centuries, women have been taught from birth to believe that they are inadequate and inferior in some way. As a result, women feel they have to sacrifice more and work harder to prove that they deserve to take up space and be treated with respect.

The truth is, I have yet to meet one woman who doesn’t tell herself, from time to time or even every day, that she’s not enough. Women inevitably internalize the messages they’ve been fed and then turn that same critical and scrutinizing eye on themselves by…

Demanding perfection from themselves
Pushing themselves to be productive or constantly “do” even when they’re tired or ill
Believing they need to be further along in their lives than where they are now
Working harder than everyone else
Postponing comfort, joy and celebration until they’ve earned it
Waiting to buy new or nice clothes until they’re a different (smaller) pant or dress size
Telling themselves they’ll be enough when someone loves them
Withholding pleasure until they think they’ve worked for it
Talking to themselves harshly and negatively
Judging and hating their bodies
Depending on affirmations and accolades from others to feel good about themselves
Convincing themselves they don’t deserve or can’t have what they really want
Shaming themselves for wanting more
Ignoring their discomfort, upset, tenderness and pain
Hiding their talents and gifts
Tolerating toxic relationships
Starving themselves
Overriding their instincts and intuition
Denying what is true for them to avoid upsetting others
Making justifiable excuses for other’s mistreatment of them
Working in a way that hurts their bodies, hearts and spirits
Tolerating a relationship, job or life they’ve outgrown to avoid hurting others
Comparing themselves to others
Pressuring themselves to be someone or something they aren’t
Diminishing their dreams and heart’s deepest longings
Giving to others even when their own cup is empty
Sacrificing their happiness to make others comfortable and happy
Chasing after the affection of others who show little or minimal interest
Taking on the lion’s share of responsibility because others have so much on their plate
Settling for less than what they really want in a sexual relationship
Procrastinating putting themselves “out there”
Downplaying their efforts, successes, milestones and accomplishments
Staying in an unhealthy partnership to meet other people’s expectations of them
Silencing themselves and their experience to avoid ruffling feathers
Walking on eggshells
Putting everyone else before our own needs
Living a smaller life so others won’t be jealous
Charging less than what they need or want for their valuable time and energy
Pretending it’s okay when others treat them badly
Numbing out to the things that are harming us to maintain the status quo…

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

I believe with my whole heart that it’s time for women to stop buying into the myth that they’re not enough. It’s also time to lay down the ways we quietly (and not so) hold ourselves as less than who and what we really are.
It’s time to stop betraying yourself.
It’s time to end the self-criticism, self-punishment and self-loathing.
It’s time to drop the weapons you’ve drawn against yourself to stay small.

And, it’s definitely time to raise the bar, expect more from others, and honor how freaking amazing, beautiful, powerful, brilliant and utterly worthy you are.

You were born worthy. Your value is inherent. And if you want your life to shift and change for the better, no matter what the world around you says, you have to start believing and living this truth.

You are your own version of an absolute Rockstar Goddess, even if you don’t truly know this about yourself… yet.

You may not yet know that your body is a divine temple that is worthy of praise, pleasure and love.

You may not yet know that your emotions are a powerful gateway to wisdom and power.

You may not yet know that your dreams and desires are impeccable guides to your purpose.

You many not yet know the healing power of giving to yourself first.

You many not yet know how to fully trust the brilliance of your intuition and inner knowing.

You may not yet know that you always have a choice.

And you may not yet know how perfectly your current life is serving your greatness.

I am here to take a stand and remind you that even if you don’t yet know these things about yourself, you are being called to step into and fully embody that knowing.

You are here to learn to hold the paintbrush that paints the masterpiece of your life.

And it all begins with knowing deep in your bones that you are enough.
