I had this painting made of my mom. Because obviously… she’s a queen.
This photo is from the moment I surprised her with it.
She raised four kids while running a business and somehow kept our family grounded through it all.
She was originally trained as a physical therapist, but like a lot of women of her generation, pieces of her own career got sacrificed while she held everything else together.
Growing up around that kind of strength shapes you… in ways you don’t fully understand until much later.
It’s probably not a coincidence that for the last 25 years I’ve mostly worked with women.
And especially in the last decade, with high-performing women and mothers.
One thing they’ve all taught me: Women are already incredibly strong already.
They don’t need someone yelling at them to push harder. Most of the time they need the opposite.
Space to breathe.
Permission to soften.
A way back into their body.
The student and the teacher create the teaching together. And the women I’ve worked with over the years have taught me far more than any certification ever could.
So today feels like a good day to say thank you.
To my mom.
And to all the powerful women who have trusted me with their strength over the years.
Happy International Women’s Day.
