13. You have Permission to Shine Your Light!

Today’s episode is based on Marianne Williamson’s beloved quote:  “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.”   If we speak up and tell our truth, we all fear we may lose love.  Marianne has also written, “Women are still emotional bondage as long as we have to make a choice between being heard and being loved”.  As women we must empower each other to speak up, overcome our imposter syndrome, and high five each other for our successes rather than shy away in jealousy or worst of all, say nothing at all. Why we hang back and play small as women and how it is our light and our potential that scares us the most. You are not too loud, too big or too opinionated!  There is enough space for all of us.  As we let our light shine, we send out reverberations and ripples that give other people the chance to do the same.  Meet Rachael Roewe of {made} community jewelry and our exciting collaboration of a line of gorgeous baubles for TEND HER WILD.
