Being a mom to a teenage daughter is like reliving my past life once again, only difference, I am on the other side this time.
I look at it as an opportunity since I have already have an early mover advantage!
I quite quickly realized that if I want to become a role model to my daughter, her friends and other young girls, I should lead by example:
(1) fight for, not against
(2) be confident, not arrogant
(3) own success as well as failure
(4) aim for everything but not get disappointed if you get nothing
(5) love oneself completely, along with imperfections
I have seen the impact it has created at home and I truly urge you to exploit its full potential. If you are a woman reading this, I strongly advocate that you become a role model. Every story carries the weight of its learnings, and who knows sharing yours to just another girl may inspire her to believe just a little bit more in herself!
