Women face an incredible number of demands every day. The demands can be "title-related": moms - feeding, bathing, cleaning, studying; career - deadlines, pressure, balance home and work; partner - spending quality time, date nights, sex - you get the picture. What is missing is the simple title of "woman" and her wants, needs and desires. They are at the bottom of her very long list.
I often ask my clients to list the 5 most important people in their lives. Guess who doesn't make the list? Her! and that speaks volumes. It's time to be at the top of your most important people list.
Here are ten characteristics of unapologetic women that inspire and pave the way for self-expression:
- Self-Awareness: Unapologetic women possess a deep understanding of themselves— their strengths, weaknesses, and values. This self-awareness empowers them to make choices aligned with their true selves.
- Confidence: They exude confidence, unshaken by societal judgments or stereotypes. Their self-assurance is a testament to their belief in their worth and abilities.
- Boundary Setting: Unapologetic women establish clear boundaries in their personal and professional lives. They prioritize self-care and respect their own needs without guilt.
- Authenticity: They embrace their authentic selves, rejecting the pressure to conform. This authenticity allows them to forge genuine connections and inspire others.
- Courage: Unapologetic women display courage in pursuing their dreams and voicing their opinions, even in the face of adversity or criticism.
- Empowerment of Others: They uplift and empower other women, fostering a supportive community that celebrates individuality and diversity.
- Ownership of Success: They own their successes without downplaying their achievements. Unapologetic women take pride in their accomplishments and inspire others to do the same.
- Embracing Imperfection: They understand that imperfection is part of being human and refuse to apologize for being themselves—flaws and all.
- Advocacy: Unapologetic women advocate for causes they believe in, using their voices to bring about positive change and challenge injustices.
- Resilience: Lastly, they demonstrate resilience in the face of setbacks. Unapologetic women view challenges as opportunities for growth, refusing to be defined by setbacks.
When you read the 10 characteristics, where do you see yourself? Use a scale of 1 to 10 and be very honest. Journal about where you are now and where you would like to be.
To your bold, unapologetic life, Susan xo
