You were never meant to blend in.

But you were taught to.

As women, we've been told for years to be quieter. Less opinionated. Less ourselves. Told to tone it down, fit in, be more "appropriate."

More 'palatable'

We've been playing by someone else's arbitrary rules for so long, we've forgotten how to be ourselves.

We've forgotten who "ourselves" even is.

So you built the business. The reputation. The results. And you did it wearing the edited version. The weird bits smoothed over, the unpolished opinions kept quiet, your power diluted so you don't offend anyone.

You became the good girl. The professional one.

And you're tired of it.
