I firmly believe that my life story is not solely my own. It's interwoven with the hopes, sacrifices, and tireless efforts of those before me, all contributing to my journey.
My grandmother grew up in an era when educating girls wasn't a priority. Secretly, she'd study her brothers' books while they played outside, indifferent to their own studies. When caught, she was often scolded. Yet, for her, ensuring her daughter's education was paramount.
My mother not only went to college — a rarity in her time — but she also instilled in me the importance of independence. Marriage meant putting her career aspirations aside; a working wife implied a husband's inability to provide, a stigma my parents weren't willing to face.
Today, we’re living in an age where the rights to education and career for women are given, not fought for. But these rights come with an unspoken demand — to excel at work and at home. It's a much bigger scope without the increased support. So, it has become a challenge that many of us feel deeply, leading to a life that's more about endurance than enjoyment.
That's why my goal is to guide fellow women to live intentionally. To help us choose our battles and passions, and to know it’s okay to not meet every expectation. Our careers and our learning should add to our joy, not subtract from it with endless pressure.
If you resonate, join me. Change your life now. If you're constantly telling yourself you're too busy, too drained to take care of yourself, think ahead. Imagine, 30 years from now, your daughter living a life of constant fatigue and self-neglect because that’s the example she saw in you. Is this the legacy we wish to leave? Remember, they learn from what we do, not what we say. Show them what is possible. Show them what it really means to live your own life. Do it for them.
If this message strikes a chord with you, I invite you to join my Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/6776578362463145) or connect with me directly. I'm eager to hear your story. Together, we can forge a path toward a future that’s not only better for us but also for our children. Do it for them.
