If you’re anything like me, you have personal and professional mini-meltdowns more often than you’d like to admit.

Especially as an entrepreneur, the ebb and flow of business can be paralyzing at times.

For far too long, I believed I didn’t need anyone or anything but myself.

Sadly, too many women executives don’t have the support system they need and want, and it gets lonely and as humans, the more isolated we are, the more our brains can play tricks on us.

We receive messages that we are “needy” or “emotionally weak” if we want connection with others. We are told we can do it all without help and without support…that’s a BIG. FAT. LIE.

We can do amazing things - and we can do amazing things alone. That doesn’t mean wanting connection and community is bad.

We can be fiercely independent AND have the support and connection we need.

When women connect and support one another, we communicate more clearly, we understand ourselves better, we rise together. Community can help us clarify where we want to go and even how to get there.

I am so grateful for the amazing executive women in my life who talk me off the ledge, help me see reality vs the stories I tell myself and who support me no matter what.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Edition 4 of The Executive Woman newsletter, below is an excerpt for you.

This edition I ventured into areas of my life I rarely share outside of my very insular circle…until now.

I share how I lived my life in “neutral” for so long, out of fear, shame and constant worry.

It’s not YOU who is broken, it’s the SYSTEM that is broken. From the time we are little girls we are taught to “be nice” and to “get along”.

We are taught and conditioned to believe that when a little boy or teenage boy is picking on you, even hitting you or shoving you, it’s because “he likes you” and he "just doesn’t know how to express his feelings" and so we are taught to believe we can't set boundaries.

We learn to navigate our world through the lens of lived trauma and diminished credibility which often leads us to accept a path of least resistance…

As an Executive Woman, it is my responsibility to ensure all voices are heard and respected, especially the voices that are historically diminished.

It's long past time we expect Black women to fight this alone, White Women, we have privilege and it's our responsibility to use it and to call out others who fail to deliver the respect everyone deserves.

I recently contributed to a Forbes article and want to share it here, as it's ALWAYS a good time to support and promote women at work!

"8. Enable Every Voice To Be Heard And Respected
Be intentional. One tactic is to ensure you have a plan for every meeting where it is clear everyone is expected to participate and every voice is heard and respected. At any time when respect isn't given, it needs to be addressed immediately. Asking questions like, "What is your intention with that comment?" places responsibility on the aggressor and not the person being treated unfairly." - Barbie Winterbottom, the Business of HR
