12 life lessons from women I love

Happy International Women’s Day!!!

I have some of the most incredible, wise, kind, inspiring women in my life and I wanted to share a collection of wisdom and lessons they’ve taught me over the years ✨

1. Build each other UP. If there is something you admire about someone, vocalize it!

2. Do not be afraid to take up space in the world. There is room for each and everyone of us.

3. Strike while the iron is hot. If there's an opportunity in front of you, GO for it.

4. Be aware of how much you use the words "always" and "never". These are absolutes and often limiting. Is there a grey area?

5. It's okay and healthy to have different friends for different things. It keeps things interesting and then you don't have to rely on one friend to be everything.

6. Carve your own path. You do NOT have to do things in the order or the way that society tell us to. Do it your way.

7. It's okay to be clear and direct about what you need from people. Do you need someone to vent to? Do you want an opinion? It's okay to vocalize your needs.

8. Sometimes we go through phases and seasons of life where we can't give as much to our relationships as we'd like to. This doesn't make you a bad friend, it just makes you human.

9. Go after what you want boldly and unapologetically.

10. It's not over till it's over!

11. We might accidentally hurt each other at times. We might argue. This isn't bad or a sign of an unhealthy relationship. We're just human. The way we work through the hard times builds resilience and can bring our relationships closer.

12. Celebrate yourself! Share your wins. Talk about the things that are going well in your life. It's not bragging if it's true.
