You don’t have to fit. You don’t have to shrink. You don’t have to wait for permission. Your grandmother may have worn pearls, you wear power. She may have kept the peace, you create the revolution. This is your turn. To speak what she couldn’t. To build what she dreamed. To honor her silence with your sound. Sassy is your birthright. Sacred is your backbone. Make history in sequins, sass, and soul.

Let's all take a sacred‑pause this International Women’s Weekend a powerful collective exhale, a moment where every woman feels invited to soften, slow down, and reclaim her energy as sacred. International Women’s Weekend feels like the perfect moment to remember this truth: Rest is not a reward. Rest is a reclamation. Rest is a radical return to yourself. In a world that praises the woman who keeps going, keeps giving, keeps holding it all together…the most revolutionary thing you can do
