Lately I’ve been reading a lot of content aimed at women, encouraging us to “make more time for ourselves,” to “choose ourselves,” to remember that we always have a choice.
And while there is truth in that… Something in me feels triggered.
Because yes — we do have a choice.
But it’s not always that simple.
The reality is, many women are holding a lot.
If you’re a mother, running a business, supporting a family, or holding a lot of things together — you’ll understand this deeply.
Sometimes there is no one else who can do what you do, or hold what you hold, in the way that you hold it.
There’s a narrative that says we should just delegate more, create more space, take more time out… but what if the support isn’t there?
What if the responsibility genuinely sits with you?
Because the deeper truth is that the feminine, in its essence, does give.
She is everflowing, all knowing, anchored deeply with the divine. Not only in stillness and time out, but in challenge and movement.
And that is not weakness.
That is power.
The answer is not always to step away.
Sometimes more is required of you.
More presence, more leadership, more capacity.
And in those moments, the work is not to escape your life, but to learn how to remain anchored within yourself while you meet it.
To stay connected to your body, your truth, your centre — even as you hold everything else.
Because sometimes, the most powerful thing a woman can do is not take time out…
It is to stay at the wheel.
To remain steady in her leadership.
To meet what is in front of her with strength, clarity, and self-respect.
Not from depletion.
Not from self-abandonment.
But from a deeper devotion — to her life, to her path, and to herself within it.
Because this is the real work.
Not stepping away from what we’ve been given to hold…not because you're tired, emotional or depleted
but becoming so anchored in who we are, that we can hold it without losing ourselves.
