Women face a constant battle with comparison and self-criticism. 90% of women don’t love their bodies. 46% of woman have criticized themselves once before 9:30. I remember feeling so guilty paying a babysitter to watch my little 3 month only baby so I could do something for myself and go to the gym. I felt torn between my righteous desires to be a connected mother and to work outside of the home as a Christian woman. I didn’t think I could have both. Feeling whole in all my roles as a woman felt huge and daunting and no matter what I did I didn’t feel like I measured up or was ever enough.

This inner self-critic was loud and constant and pushed me to be the BEST at most of what I did. I honestly thought it was my super power, only to later realize that it was really just self bullying. This is not ok, this is not something I want to model for my daughter nor have any other woman struggle with-this takes away our power.
