I wept through the Taylor Swift docuseries
I wept my way through the Taylor Swift docuseries.
I started crying in the very first scene—during Taylor’s pep talk to her team—when she tells them that everyone in the world told them not to be dancers, not to be musicians, and yet they pushed through all of that to be here, to make history.
I know exactly why I cried through the docuseries:
As an ambitious woman—someone who is both an artist and a businessperson—I have always been starving to see other women who have gone before me.
I remember how desperate I felt for women in positions of leadership and professionalism when I worked in vocational ministry. Sadly, two of the women who ended up playing those roles in my journey also ended up letting me down. I don’t blame them for the choices they made inside a toxic religious environment where survival was often the only option—but it highlighted the famine in my soul.
I needed to see someone who was like me.
A woman who kicked ass and put her career first. Someone who took risks even with millions of haters. Someone who used her platform to elevate others and put joy and beauty into the world.
Taylor Swift is one of those women.
I am so inspired by what Taylor did with the Eras Tour. She changed the world in the face of tremendous opposition—and she did it with glitter, the color pink, and pop songs.
And she made a ton of money.
And she rewarded her team by giving them large six-figure bonuses.
I am a fan of Taylor Swift.
If you’re an ambitious woman or artist who’s ready to step into your power, connect with your voice, or take your career to the next level, I’m opening a few coaching spots right now.
