“Once I learned to like me more than others did, then I didn’t have to worry about being the funniest or the most popular or the prettiest. I was the best me and I only ever tried to be that.”

Have you watched my WTF Call to Action video? Well in the midst of recording this CTA, I had my very own WTF Moment, I was struggling!

The Stories of Women Who Are Transforming Positivity Into Power
“Be of Service”
At a certain point in my life I realized I am happiest when I feel useful. This is not just a superficial happiness – it’s a deep sense of contentment and feeling right with the world. The Dalai Lama says “The root of happiness is altruism – the wish to Be of Service to others.” I believe it’s in my own best interest to do what I can to help others. – Marianne
"Do the Work"
I chose Do the Work because it strongly connects to my own anti-racism (anti-oppression) journey – a journey that has been nothing short of transformative for me and how I live. – Ellen
"Give Grace"
In my interactions with others now, I strive to pass the lesson to others reminding them “to first give themselves grace and always look to give others grace”. Give grace, reminds me of my favorite quote: “Be kind for everyone is fighting a hard battle”. – Asneth
"Take Up Space"
As a white woman, my first thought about the idea of “taking space” as an option for coping with these WTF moments was, “I think I need to take less of it.” As I thought more about it, I realized that my privilege has influenced how I show up and take space, and while I am working on taking less in certain situations, I still struggle with taking space in some areas of my life. It’s been a journey that has really shaped who I am and how I show up for myself and others. – Julie
