💥 I’m Not Missing Pieces — Just Rewriting the Plot

Let’s just say it:

I really don’t like the whole “empowering women” vibe.
There. I said it.

Think that’s controversial? Argue back—I won’t mind. Because isn’t empowerment about exactly that?
The right to speak, believe, exist... without apology?

The Truth About Womanhood

The idea of womanhood has become a tangled script:

✨ Be bold—but not too bold.
✨ Be soft—but not too soft.
✨ Be empowered—but only in the ways that keep the world comfortable.

But what if celebrating womanhood isn’t about becoming someone else?

What if it’s about realising who we already are?

Sweetie, I came whole. Keep your toolkit.

You are not a project.
You are not an unfinished puzzle.
You are not a work in progress that needs fixing.

You already exist—in all your resilience, your softness, your storms, your silence.
And that? Is powerful.

You Don’t Need Permission to Be Powerful

You don’t need to represent a movement to matter.
You don’t need to “fit” anyone’s expectations.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself to be celebrated.

Choose your own definition of womanhood:
🌿 Running a business
🌿 Raising kids
🌿 Walking away from a job
🌿 Slowing down or starting over
🌿 Speaking up or simply breathing deeper

Your truth is valid. And it’s enough.

Start With Your Story

As an author coach, I’ve watched countless women finally give voice to the stories they’ve carried silently for years.

Not the stories they were told to live.
But the ones that have been burning quietly inside them all along.

“I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best.”
— Frida Kahlo

This Isn’t Reinvention. It’s Revelation.

You’re not broken. You’re blooming.
You’re not missing. You’re moving.
You’re not late. You’re on your own timeline.

“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
— Louisa May Alcott
