Badass Bitches

Share This Post:

If you’re like me, your motivation can wane at times. This past week has been especially hard as I experienced a loss that I am still reeling from. I needed to get my head back in the game.

Knowing that I needed some inspiration, I started researching women entrepreneurs and happened upon this article by Inc.com.

What struck me about all of these women is that they are a bunch of badasses. They failed miserably, stumbled and even though they faced insurmountable odds at times they kept putting one foot in front of the other. They invested all of their energy, money and pride into their businesses.

The best part, they made zero apologies for it.

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all–in which case, you fail by default.” – JK Rowling

“Dear, never forget one little point. It’s my business. You just work here.” – Elizabeth Arden

“I didn’t get where I am by thinking about it or dreaming it. I got there by doing it.” – Estee Lauder

So, get to work ladies. We have a world to conquer and I for one won’t be apologizing anytime soon. Here is to all you badass bitches out there – you got this.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to just accept it’s part of being a woman.

I reject that narrative. In fact, I like to bring it up in every conversation. Does that make you uncomfortable? Good.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared for this sh*tshow.

Come to Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th. Go register; it’s gonna be a powerful convo, and @8thirtyfour is partnering with the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan Michigan Women’s Business Council. Link in bio.

Perimenopause is brain fog, insomnia, rage (so much rage), hair loss, hair growth in the wrong places and you either want to throat punch someone or cry. Did I mention the f*cking rage?

Just some friendly career advice for young professionals or students in internships. Say yes.

Say yes to the after-hour thing. Say yes to the early morning thing. Say yes when your boss asks you to come to something - happy hour, networking event, whatever it is. SAY YES.

You know who gets the job and opportunities? The ones who show up, volunteer, and add value.

Say yes to the additional learning, the webinar, the networking event...the everything.

Sincerely,

Every business owner everywhere.
