On Rebellion ➡️
Yesterday at Female Quotient during Ad Week NYC, one of the speakers asked us about a superpower we have that serves us in our work. The word the came to mind for me? Rebellion.
Unchanneled rebellion is destructive.
Intentional rebellion is motivating.
For a majority of my life, I haven’t been in ownership of my rebellious side, and I certainly didn’t think of it as an asset in my work.
Now I think that if real change is to happen, especially in women’s health, constructive rebellion is going to have to be a strong part of it.
Here’s the thing:
No one is coming to save you.
We’ve all heard this.
But an important extension of this is:
If no one is coming to save you, no one is also coming to stop you.
You can just try things. Do what you feel is important. Follow your inner voice & intuition. Try & fail, get up, then try something else. Your life belongs to you.
What small acts of rebellion have you kept tucked away - and what would unleashing them help create in the world?
