Summary
Happy International Women's Day! You ladies know I preach about the importance of supporting women every single day. I write about it in my books, I coach my clients on it, and I discuss it in my girl gang, the Slay Baby Collective. It's not just an annual holiday for me; I talk about it in television segments, on the radio, and on this podcast every single week. It's my passion and my life's work. On social media, one of the ways to promote this message and connect with other like-minded women is to use hashtags like #girlpower, #womenempoweringwomen, and #endgirlhate, to name a few. If you've searched these tags, you've probably seen more and more accounts popping up lately with the same message. And it's not just Instagram that's making girl power so cool lately. Pins, patches, and tee shirts available at major retailers like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales with cutesy terms like "Girl Gang" are popping up everywhere. But the question is, are women really practicing what they post, and wear? And will they practice it beyond a few months of pretty quotes on social media and a sweatshirt from Wildfox? I ask this, not because I'm doubtful. If anything, I'm hopeful. I think it's wonderful that women are seeing the importance of getting behind each other. But I want to encourage all of us to check in with ourselves and make sure we're taking these terms and applying them to our lives and our careers.

| 1:33.2 | the past five or six years, but International Women's Day is celebrated every single year on March 8th, |
| 1:39.0 | and it basically commemorates the movement for women's rights. So the first actual documented observance of Women's Day was held on February 28th, 1909 in New |
| 1:50.5 | York, and then March 8th was suggested by the 1910 International Women's Conference to become |
