69: How to be a Nasty Woman

Know Thy Triggers.

I say this to my gym members all the time. You have to know what triggers you, if you want to really own the heck out of your life. Knowing your triggers allows you to say yes to the right things and no to the wrong things. Knowing your triggers helps you identify what you want to fight for and what fights are a waste of your time.

Last week I put up a fight. A couple times.

I defended my child.

I defended all women.

Then I wrote a manifesto.

At the end of the week, I came to see there are things I will always fight for. There are people I will always defend, even if I take a beating in the process.

I know what’s right for ME.

I hope this episode helps you define what’s right for YOU.

Here’s my manifesto:

Nasty Woman Manifesto

Stand for women
Stand for children
Stand up to bullies
Take the high road
Where there is not a path, create one
When you listen, truly hear
Share
Fight for the underdog
Don’t back down
Work for the greater good
Connect
Do not fear your enemy
Challenge the status quo
Empower the powerless
Pay your fair share

Will you do yourself a favor and write your manifesto? You can use any of mine you want to get you started!
