Allow me to assure you: I love the world we live in.
As screwed up as it can be, and as much work as it clearly needs (I’m lookin’ at you, American politics), I wouldn’t trade being alive in the 21st century for any other time. (You could tempt me with a time-traveling foray to ancient Rome, though. #historydork)
The western world is decidedly imperfect, but it’s hard to argue with equal rights and the opportunity to decide for myself what “freedom” means.
I also love how much I, and my fellow women, are benefitting from the really loud — and rightfully so — ongoing dialogue about equality, particularly when it comes to our pay. Feminism (which is really not a complicated concept) has been made normal, and at this point it’s pretty damn sketchy if you aren’t on board.
Are you sensing a “but” coming?
I’m a coach who spends most of her time helping people — the majority of them women — figure out what their passion is and how to live it through their career.
And as a female entrepreneur, I’m in circles with a lot of other women in business. So it’s safe to say that I’ve got a front-row seat when it comes to watching women “kill it” in their careers and actively pursue “having it all.”
We’re a pretty loud and proud bunch, too. And unsurprisingly, we’ve got a LOT of names for ourselves … in the form of hashtags, obviously. Say ‘em as fast as you can:
#girlboss #ladyboss #bosslady #badassladyboss #bossbabe #businessbabe #bizbabe #womeninbusiness #womeninbiz #womenentrepreneurs #femaleentrepreneur #femalefounder … you get it.
It’s quite rad that there are so many women making their mark on the world, and I love that we’re celebrating each other’s accomplishments.
BUT … (I feel like I’m telling a huge secret here) … I don’t actually want to be a #girlboss, or even a #ladyboss, and certainly not a #bizbabe.
