Perhaps you think the real women on our pages are super women. Perhaps you think their lives are unattainable.
Perhaps you think the whole thing is just a made-up, marketing mirage. But take a minute to think about what your own caption might look like, a caption that gives voice only to the good, a caption that does not allow negativity or self-censorship.
Could you even see yourself in your own caption? Post your caption below and see if you recognize the woman in the words.
If you don’t, I hope you’ll start to. She’s pretty amazing. Or post a friend’s…will she recognize herself?
I’ll finish with this caption, does it sound like someone you might know?
