I wasn’t the kid who always knew she’d be a business owner.
I was the kid who just wanted someone to play with at recess and hoped the soccer ball wouldn’t hit me in the face at practice.
My hopes and dreams didn’t go much further than wanting a horse and somehow being discovered by Mary-Kate & Ashley.
(For the record, I’ve learned horseback riding isn’t really my thing.)
But when I look at this photo, I see a little girl who hadn’t yet learned all of the reasons she wasn’t “good enough.” (but that chapter was just around the corner! … good old middle school 😅)
The tragedy is that so many women never stop critiquing themselves long enough to realize how cool they really are…
but the gift is that we can find our way back. ♥️
Did you have any of these same childhood experiences?
