Dear Shero,

I hope this word finds you surrounded by the same warmth and courage that you emanate. Today, I felt compelled to remind you of something you should never forget: you are a shero - a woman whose actions and convictions inspire those around her.

Your value is inherent, immeasurable, and entirely independent of anyone else’s opinion or validation. Over time, you will encounter moments that test your resolve, your self-worth, and your belief in what you deserve. If you find yourself being told that your expectations are too high or unrealistic, take a moment to reflect on your journey, your growth, and the hard work that has brought you here. Use this reflection as a shield against doubt and as the foundation for your perseverance. It is in these moments, I urge you to stand firm and remember that you are the one who determines your worth. You have the right to negotiate for what you believe your skills, time, and energy are worth. You are worth every penny you ask for, every moment of balance you seek, and every step you take towards the destiny you carve for yourself.

It’a easy to scroll on LinkedIn and get sucked into people showcasing elaborate titles and symbols of status, and sometimes this can make you lose sight of your true worth. But I need to remind you that your value isn't defined through your LinkedIn profile, it’s not summed up by your resume, it is not reflected by the number on your paycheck, your rank in a corporate hierarchy or in the business cards that collect dust in your desk drawer —it shines from within you. You are a beacon of light, a symbol of what it means to live authentically and without apology. Your worth is not tied to something that can be given or taken away. It's not confined to labels but an enduring presence, akin to the stars that shine in the night sky - always there, even when unseen.

Some may miss your sparkle, but don't let that rain on your parade. Let doubters be your rocket fuel to find your cheerleaders. If naysayers claim your dreams are too grand, pause to remember your journey, growth, and hard graft that got you here. Let this reflection be your armor against uncertainty and the bedrock of your grit. In these moments, I dare you to stand tall, with determination and grace. There exists a realm where your talents are lauded, your contributions cheered, and your value respected. Your ideas, your passion, and your vision are needed now more than ever. The world is waiting for what you have to offer, and I have no doubt that you will rise to the occasion.

Remember, your strength is not just in the might of your will, but in the gentleness of your heart. It’s in the way you lift others even when you’re carrying your own burdens. It’s in the passion that fuels your dreams and the perseverance that turns those dreams into reality. Embrace the strength that you possess, for it is immense. Trust in yourself and in the journey that you are on, for it is leading you to places of growth and success. Never doubt the power you hold within. Never underestimate the impact of your actions. Your influence extends beyond what you can see, touching lives and empowering others to find their own strength. You are not just a hero; you are a shero—a woman who fights not just for herself, but for a better world for all.

May you continue to shine brightly, to live boldly, and to inspire those around you with your courage. You are more than capable of overcoming any obstacle, and I have every confidence in your ability to do so.

You are enough. You always have been, and you always will be.
