There are many, many things a woman is supposed to be–and even more many things a woman is not supposed to be.
A woman should be:
Kind
Beautiful
Seen and not heard
Able to lead but not power hungry
In fact, not hungry in any way
Demure
Never ambitious
In words, perfect. But the perfect might never be defined.

This is a hard time for so many people, and women in particular. I’ve read countless articles about how the pandemic has been more difficult and added more workload to every woman’s plate. I know I’ve been cooking, cleaning, and doing more dishes. Which I am glad to do! I really love taking care of the people I love.

However, I can’t help but also being ambitious. I don’t think you should shy away from ambition either.

Ambition can mean many things- career goals, personal goals, any goals. Does it matter what you want to be good at? I don’t think so. But I know right now all of it, from the personal to the career to the charity to the global, can feel hard. Like nothing we do makes a difference. Like it doesn’t matter.

I have no idea what the answers are, but I know that anything we do in the name of love- of our career, of our families, of others, is never wasted. And I think that means, especially as woman, that we emabrace ambition- whatever that means to you- and go whole heartedly in whatever direction we’re called. There are challenging times. I can’t back away from that. I can’t pretend that everything is perfect right now. But I can tell you I’m determined to go after what I want, maybe more than ever.

It means being uncomfortable.
It means asking for what I need. And help sometimes.
It means being ok with what doesn’t get done.

Non-sequiturs: are you registered to vote (especially in the States?) What’s your voting plan?
I’m loving the Juxatipositon of a graphic sweatshirt and structured chinos- this specific sweatshirt can be found here. I’ve linked these pants and other options below!
