Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
In 2019 my husband and I moved home to save my family's farm from foreclosure. Now we're scaling our tallow skincare business to buy back the remaining 700 acres before it's sold off to developers. Every jar starts with our cattle, raised on the very land we're fighting to keep.
one of my co-workers said he doesn’t wanna get married to his long term girlfriend because he doesn’t want her to “take half”… i asked him what he had and now we’re sitting in silence
