Free & Abridged Version - Challenge the Status Quo: The 'W' of the WISE-ASS Woman’s Way
Following the WISE-ASS Woman’s Way, which encourages women to embrace their wholeness and focus on goals that nurture body and mind, this piece emphasizes being radically honest about your "why" and using motivation techniques to clarify intentions to create lasting, meaningful change.
Quick Summary
This edition challenges the diet and hustle culture that makes women feel inadequate, promoting the idea that we must constantly be "fixed." Instead, the WISE-ASS Woman’s Way encourages embracing our wholeness, breaking free from societal expectations, and focusing on goals that nurture both body and mind. The piece also emphasizes the importance of being radically honest with oneself about why we want to make changes. It offers guided exercises to help clarify motivations, drawing on Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques to boost internal motivation.
Diet and hustle culture reinforce the belief that women aren’t enough as we are and must constantly be fixed. This mindset is effective for selling products, keeping women constantly striving to meet an impossible standard. It also prevents us from fully embracing our power and ruling the world!
The WISE-ASS Woman’s Way isn’t about ‘fixing’ you because you aren't broken. You are whole and complete as you are. It's about challenging the status quo, letting go of the ‘shoulds,’ and growing in ways that are nurturing and nourishing for both your body and mind.
We need to rethink how we approach goals—not by focusing on doing more (because let’s face it, women already do so much!). What if, instead, we focused on being present in our bodies for just five minutes, allowing ourselves to make mistakes, pushing beyond our comfort zones, getting more rest, playing, or creating?
Last week, we used breath work, imagery, and words to identify our intentions in Observing the Chaotic Winds: Find Your Path on the WISE-ASS Woman’s Way. Now, it’s time to be radically honest about our reasons for walking this path with the ‘Why’ of the WISE-ASS Woman’s Way.
