The normal ways that we evaluate ourselves against impossible societal standards are shifting. It can be hard for brave & wonderful women to know just how we are stacking up.

(I hope you can read the sarcasm in my voice there. Much to my great disappointment, we have yet to determine the sarcasm font.)

Don't worry, my dear athlete! I have created a powerful 3 step system by which to grade ourselves.

1. Are you breathing?
2. Are you showing up?
3. Have you retained the ability to hope?

DID YOU ACTUALLY ANSWER WITH A "YES" TO ALL OF THOSE THINGS?

Well there you have it. You're doing great.

Don't let anyone (including yourself) tell you different.

Now go forth at train this weekend as the ultimate act of thriving. It does, in fact, combine all three actions at once.

You just might be incredible.
