OUR TOWN ON THE GRAM

I recently attended a seminar with a group of professional women on the need for positive self-evaluation. These women are giants in their fields. Doctors. attorneys, judges, scientists and entrepreneurs. They all had powerful stories of challenges and triumph. Yet what stood out to me was that every single one of them struggles with positive self-evaluation.

It made me wonder, what if the goal isn’t positive validation, or positive evaluation? What if the goal could be radical self-acceptance? What if positive self-evaluation and validation is just like any other addiction or high — something we constantly need to feed and replenish before our system crashes?

You have to wonder why we’ve over-complicated life to the point where ease is a fantasy.

I dream of a life where I can lie down on a bed of grass, with a good book, my love and my dog and not have another care in the world.

This “productivity,” and “hustle” stuff— we’re doing it to ourselves.

✨Everything that is was a once a thought in someone’s mind.✨

Thoughts become things. Good things and bad things. You don’t need to let your thoughts define you, but you do need to think to create something wonderful.

Drop a ✈️ if you agree.

I’ve been making my way through ‘90s and early

I’ve been making my way through ‘90s and early aughts romcoms and I keep asking myself: HOW DID I EVER FIND THIS ROMANTIC??

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good romcom, but the messaging in so many of these films might be the source of many hours spent in therapy.

Last night I watched 27 Dresses and while I’m only scratching the surface with the things I could pick apart in this movie, can we all just agree that Jane should be getting paid? Seriously the amount of unpaid work for women that we’ve normalized in our society is bonkers!

I know I might be setting myself up to question a lot of my childhood but these are the babies on my hit list:

💋10 Things I Hate About You
💋Never Been Kissed
💋 While You Were Sleeping
💋Two Weeks Notice
💋Anything with Meg Ryan

Drop your favorite romcoms that need viewing with a critical eye here👇🏽
