I so appreciated your personal and professional insights. What I hope to continue in these conversations is an open space where women can bring forward their experiences and exchange ideas, even when these are different. As Jen said, it takes courage to speak truthfully without attacking each other or ourselves. And it takes a lot of people - women and men - to create this sort of cultural shift. Onward!

Rather, we are strengthened, supported, applauded, and encouraged to be even "more" as we step out the door. <br /><br />The pain you speak to, Jen, is all too real AND I hope, increasingly, farther and fewer between, as we acknowledge (and then act on) our deep need for each other.

It is not only our work to move beyond being "too...whatever" but to offer the security of being another woman on the path who is not threatened, provoked or overly sensitive when we walk among other women of strength who push our boundaries. While the historical narrative certain contexts still reinforce the "too-ness", I find it's other women who can be the greatest obstacle to shattering those boxes.
