How Many Names Have You Called Her?

Stop placing labels and judgments on others, especially women.

The judgments you voice are seeds planted to hush her voice, to keep her playing small.

He says you’re arrogant—implying something shameful, something none of us want to be. All because you simply know what you like and know your worth?

She says you’re opinionated—for being knowledgeable, for having awareness of the subtle, for holding insight into things most people aren’t aware of.

They call you difficult for asserting boundaries, intimidating for standing in your power, unyielding for refusing to be swayed.

But let’s be clear—confidence is not superiority.

Knowing your worth is not arrogance.

Knowing yourself is a gift; knowing your value and worth is revolutionary.

For too long, women have been expected to shrink—to soften their edges, dim their brilliance, and play small for the comfort of others.

But tell me—who benefits when you make yourself small?

Not you.

So stand in it. Own it.

Take up space. Because a woman fully rooted in herself is not too much—she is simply enough, exactly as she is.

And if they’re uncomfortable?

That’s theirs to hold, not yours to carry.

I see you. xoxo
