Unlock your female potential. As identified in Louann Brizendine’s book, The Female Brain, from eight weeks after conception, male and female brains begin to develop differently. While male babies get an increase of testosterone, lose some of the cells in the brain’s communication centre and grow more cells in the brain areas related to sex and aggression, these changes don’t happen in female babies’ brains, allowing for better empathy, social cognition and verbal communication when they are born. In addition, women have the distinct ability to carry, birth and feed babies, allowing our species to continue. These abilities have historically been undervalued or minimized, such as by saying this is “all” that women are capable of. This narrative has often been promoted the loudest by women themselves, often unconsciously.
Although men have a responsibility to learn how to manage their biological drives, women are equally responsible to harness their biological advantages to reach their full potential and develop their sense of self-worth. Harnessing female potential is to live a life that isn’t based on external male validation or societal expectations, based on a foundation of empowerment and self-worth. It is for women who want to harness their internal female potential and who make a conscious decision to reach their full potential and be part of cultivating an alternative to society’s definition of what a woman is capable of and her value.
Women have a choice – to accept that life, “just is” the way it is, or to take responsibility for themselves and seek a different approach.
