As girls we’re told what we should and shouldn’t be. Girls should act a certain way. Girls should look a certain way. Girls should speak up but not too loudly. And there’s a million other things the world says girls “should” be. The only one thing they should be is free.

Our children deserve more than silence. While we are busy in our homes ‘focusing on our family,’ the world they will walk into one day will surely be one that we never wanted for them.

When it comes to self improvement guru’s, I’m going to say the thing that most of them won’t. Most of them, like Rachel, proclaim they have the ‘perfect formula’ for getting you where you want to be. I’m calling bullshit.
