International Women’s Day hits different when you’re raising a daughter. 💕
It makes me think not only about what I want for her, but what I’m teaching her through the way I think, act, lead, and live.
In our home, she sees that leadership, responsibility, and contribution are shared. The roles we hold are intentional, chosen, and right for our family. She sees both Mom and Dad cooking, cleaning, leading, and making space for what matters most in our lives. In her world, women and men both have a seat at the table without question.🪑
But I know the world beyond our walls will not always reflect that so clearly.
At some point, she’ll begin to notice the subtle ways women are often expected to speak a little louder, prove a little more, and work a little harder to be seen, valued, and treated equally. I also want her to understand that even in our home, the kind of partnership she sees did not happen by accident. It was built with intention, growth, and a willingness to reject and unlearn the old norms, self-limiting beliefs, and quiet conditioning that signal to women to stay small or prove themselves twice over.
That’s why part of raising her is not just empowering her, but preparing her to question those messages, trust her worth, and take up space anyway.⚡️
A practice that lives within me daily and keeps me on my toes for growth and impact. 🙏🏼
Here’s to raising girls who know their worth and step boldly into the lives they were meant to live. 👏🏻👏🏽
