• We all struggle with insecurities, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Here’s what I do when the mean voice in my head gets too loud ⬇️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -BOSS MUSIC: Songs that hype me up, remind me of what I’m capable of, and get me in the mood to get it DONE! Sometimes you just need to throw your hair in a bun, blast Beyonce, and get in the zone of “I can!”. -LOOK BACK AT IT: Any time I struggle with insecurities or second-guess that I’m “original enough”, I just remember all the things that I’m so proud of myself for accomplishing. Each week at @bossbabe.inc, I make a “Marketing Integrator Got Sh*t Done” list because if not, I miss the forest of achievements for the to-do trees 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -PEP TALK: When Becky gets too loud, I’ll just ask my husband “why do you love me today?”, and that’s his cue to fill my cup with the things that he admires about me. Find your hype team who knows just to say when you need it most 🤍 #confidence #selflove #selfcare #selfesteem #bossbabe #mamapreneuer #boymom #workingmama #momlife

  • I remember seeing this photo and my first thought was “my hair looks full! Yay!” This is significant when I ask my husband everyday if he can see my bald spots.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The tough thing about being a woman in online business is showing up IN FRONT of people. And by association, having to appear confident in your skin and pretend there's nothing you're self-conscious about...which isn't true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because it might surprise you how much I think about certain insecurities that I have, I’m going to share with you my top 4 that are in my life almost daily: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. MY HAIR. I lose hair very easily. It’s also extremely thin. I especially lost hair when I was pregnant with my babies. It's always been my biggest insecurity, and something I try to cover up (literally--swipe for proof!). I have been on hair growth pills for YEARS and it’s still something I struggle with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. MY STOMACH. Even before I went through 2+ pregnancies, I have always struggled with liking my stomach. After babies, the flatness of the stomach is never the same. It doesn't matter how many crunches I do or how healthy I am. I wouldn't trade my pregnancies for anything, but I never wear a two piece because my insecurity would ruin my day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. MY TEETH. I had braces from 3rd-8th grade and have had 8+ teeth pulled out because my mouth is too small. I was so insecure about my teeth, that my self-esteem didn’t exist. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. WRINKLES. We all have them, but my Cuban-Italian DNA also comes with extra forehead wrinkles. My grandma has them, my mom has them, I have always had them. HD cameras really show off those damn lines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m sharing this because behind every confident woman is a MOUNTAIN of insecurities that we’re all working through. I have that negative self-talk voice just like you do. I call her Becky, and she’s a total biotch. I would love to know what you name your negative inner voice?

  • Where do I even begin with this @msrachelhollis fiasco? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do I think she meant to come us off as bad as she did? No. Obviously. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did she completely miss the mark in trying to make a point? 1000000% ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rachel got called out during a Livestream that because she has a house cleaner...she's privileged AF and she didn't like it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I get what I THINK she was trying to do... which was to unapologetically own her life & choices. Which... every female influencer I know preaches and empowers women to do too....right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Girl, stop apologizing Your opinion of my life is YOURS to keep. My choices, my life, my body, my agency are MINE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if Rachel wants to use her money on a house cleaner... that's her prerogative. If you're going to spend your $$$ on [insert anything at all right here], it's your money to do whatever the freak you want to do with it. Right?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I get that it pissed her off just like it does whenever someone judges what you or I do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Side note: I really take issue with women telling other women that they liked them better when they weren't so angry. Really?? Ya, I'm not going to tell any female HOW TO FEEL...ever. Just like I won't tell a woman to calm down when she's upset. Just no. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT...that's where my sympathy ends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I take MAJOR issue with is the amount of ARROGANCE that permeates her message. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course, hard work should be rewarded, but so many ppl work their a$$ off and, because of circumstances completely outside their control, won't ever have what you have. You didn't earn your privilege... yuck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I just go back to what my mom raised me to believe: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NO ONE is better than you, Vero...BUT you are no better than anyone else either. You can be an unapologetic, empowered, confident woman in this world AND still remember that your worth is the SAME as everyone else. I pray that no matter how hard I work, how successful I become, how much I am given and blessed with, etc...that I NEVER lose my humility, and I never stop my pursuit to be a helper in this world - to ALL. #rachelhollis #bossbabe #unapologeticallyme

  • Melted my working mama heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My son, who used to get upset when I worked, held this up to the glass of my office door and then slid it under. We've come a long way! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're a working mama--especially one that works from home where your kiddos can see you working and not giving them 100% of your attention, 100% of the time--getting to a place where your children actively SUPPORT your work can take time. It definitely took time for us, and some days are harder than others. BUT, you WILL get there!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This one unprompted post-it declaration of love made all the boundary-setting, hard work, and focus so completely worth it. Stick with it, mamas. We get there eventually! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #workingmama #boundaries #children #workfromhomelife
