I’m hyper-aware of how our culture praises the superwoman - the woman who can manage being a mom, a career person, a health- enthusiast, while maintaining a pinterest-worthy home - and how this obsession with doing it all starts to impact the pressure we put back on ourselves.

I’ve decided I’m here to praise the people who rest.
The ones who set firm boundaries.
The ones who say no.
The ones who ask for help.
The ones who admit they don’t have it all together.
The ones that choose the messiness of life instead of trying to keep everything polished and pristine.

This is the kind of superwoman I am here for.

    Clearly. Yep. Sounds like you typed that and reread it to yourself in the mirror, too.
