Last year, I read Emily Nagoski’s book, Come As You Are and shared it often with you (and still get so many questions about it). It’s a great read for every woman or anyone having s*x or relationships with women (apparently, s*x is not a word we are supposed to use on here now, insert eye roll). Emily’s latest book, Burnout, was birthed from her last. I just started it and has me nose-diving right in. Highly recommend. #ComeAsYouAre #Burnout #whattoread #stressresponse #emotionalhealth #scienceofstress #holywomanhood #holymotherhood #writeclubnow #authenticallyyou #womenrising #thisisforthewomen https://www.instagram.com/p/BwU8UUKFRxd/?igshid=4ajycgor177t

This is for every woman who was ever told she was 'too much.' For every girl who's ever wondered if she was the problem, if she was wrong, if she should have backed off or been a little less.⠀ ⠀ This is for every woman who has ever cried and been told to 'grow up' or 'be more mature.' For every girl who questioned why she couldn't 'let go' or 'stop caring' when it seemed to come so easy to everyone else.⠀ ⠀ There is nothing wrong with you, nothing that you should change.⠀ ⠀ If you are sensitive, you've been made this way for a reason. Perhaps to be a catalyst for change, to heal broken hearts, to use your voice to empower others. Perhaps you're meant to soothe the wounds of the ones around you, to be a light in darkness, to impact people — in ways you haven't even realized yet.⠀ ⠀ Now, more than ever, the world needs people like you. People who aren't afraid to show up, to care, to love. Be proud of your sensitivity. It is your strength. 💞⠀ ⠀ _____⠀ 𝘗𝘚: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘯, 𝘵𝘰𝘰. ⠀ 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯⠀ 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵.⠀ ⠀ #youarenotalone⠀ #sensitivesouls⠀ #thisisforthewomen⠀ #sensitivebutstrong⠀ #marisadonnelly https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Y5wG4lVdh/?igshid=k5vfym4g6csq

Dear women: It is up to us to show other women that words of love, strength, affirmation, belief, and support can never be silenced.⠀ ⠀ _____⠀ #dearwomen #thisisforthewomen #forthewomen #poetryofig #marisadonnelly #youareawoman #femalestrength #femaleempowerment #strongwomen #strongwomenpoetry #beingawomen #forthegirls #feministpoetry #marisadonnellypoetry #poetsofig #spilledink #spilledwords https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKX9sgh7W2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11hghollvcv65

Scenes from Sunday morning. #coffee #sunlight - beautiful way to wake up. Also, if you zoom in on my partial face, I apparently have a trio of freckles in a triangle, which is fun. #thisisforthewomen #poetry https://www.instagram.com/p/BoE2ptlBgF0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12hy65jk0dffz

Dear women, you deserve tenderness. You deserve hands that will hold you with care, but also empower you. You deserve to be treasured, but not regarded as fragile. You deserve to be seen as a wonder, but as someone who is worthy, even, and especially because you are a female. Because you are an equal.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, you deserve a man who will be there. You deserve, not to have things handed to you, but to be helped when those goals are out of reach. You deserve a partner who will build you, not break you. You deserve a counterpart who will raise you up, even, and especially, when that makes you appear stronger than him.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, you deserve love. You deserve kindness and care, eyes that see you and a mind that longs to connect with yours. You deserve a voice that is not undermined, even, and especially, when a man does not agree.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, you deserve to be valued. You deserve to be noticed. You deserve to be appreciated and respected and listened to, even, and especially, when your answer is no.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, you deserve what you put out into the world—passion, love, strength, and care. You deserve a man who will understand the desires of your heart and not feel emasculated by them. You deserve a man who will not ask you to change to fit his ideal, but will grow with you.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, please stop putting out your light to let a man who is unworthy of you shine. Please stop changing who you are to be what he needs. Please stop thinking you have to be less so he can be more.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, please know that the person you should be with will raise you up, not push you aside. Will inspire you, not cover you. Will praise you, not put you down. Will empower and strengthen you, not weaken you with words and actions. Will make compromises with you, not demand that you change until you can’t recognize yourself.⠀ ⠀ Dear women, have the strength to know who you are and what you are worthy of. ⠀ ____⠀ Excerpt: “Dear Women, Never Compromise Yourself For Any Man."⠀

When your t-shirt says fuck, but you’re @ work & should appear professional-ish, you use a hair clip when you realize you grabbed an open top without buttons. #coffeebreak #macgyver #thisisforthewomen #worklife #desklife

As we celebrate the phenomenal women that have touched our lives and the fantastic women all around the world today, let us also take time to remember the enormity of the work still left to be done. Access to EDUCATION, the issue of SEXUAL ASSAULT, the issue of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, the right to VOTE, the right to EQUAL PAY, and YES the right to bodily AUTONOMY. These are not just women’s issues but humanitarian issues! #InternationalWomensDay #TagAWomanWhoInspiresYou #HalfTheSky #SaveTheWomanNotJustTheBoobs #ThisIsForTheWomen #TheSingleOnesAndTheMarriedOnes #ISeeYou #IStandWithYou 💕👑
