What comes to mind when someone says to you 'Be realistic'?
It's about dampening down your expectations, hopes and dreams.
Bringing you back down to 'earth', as the result you want is deemed unlikely.
BUT the 'earth' for women, the status quo that we have been raised with, although shifting, is still LOW LOW LOW.
The baseline is that we should be thankful we get to work, go to university and create careers.
That we shouldn't expect too much, be 'too much' or ask for 'too much' - too much for a woman seems to be anything that makes anyone uncomfortable.
That we should resign ourselves to being stressed out, doing everything for others, hating ourselves a bit and saying 'Oh but I can't complain....'
Being 'realistic' for women is terrible advice because 'realism' is a system that benefits from women being kept in lower roles, serving others and neglecting themselves.
I don't want you to be realistic.
I want you to find what lights you up and ways to love yourself so hard you blow light bulbs with your power.
I want you to strip back and challenge what is keeping you unhappy at work and transform it into liberation.
First we learn the tools, then we rise together.
