Music has always played a huge role in my life. So today’s Truth Challenge prompt is somewhat difficult because I don’t think I can narrow it down to one artist.
Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days
I’ve selected a few empowering anthems that have absolutely gotten me through some rough days. I find successful females singing about empowerment to be especially inspiring and motivating. See my selections below.
Alicia Key’s hit “Superwoman” reminds all women that there is an inner strength deep inside that when channeled can give each of us exceptional power.
“I’m Every Woman” often provides much-needed motivation and leaves me feeling like I can take on the world.
This selection is a bit of a silly one but is inspiring nonetheless. It comes from the movie The First Wives Club and highlights every woman’s struggle to be brave.
My song selection above shows how important female empowerment is to me. We are in charge of our own destiny and need to recognize the inequalities that are still present. Gini Dietrich from Spin Sucks discussed the idea of women’s equality in her post today. Her message is clear: we are our own worst enemies and if we want the C-suite, we must address the problem head on. I completely agree with her message. The songs above reflect the idea of women banding together and finding their inner strength and voice in order to overcome any problem. If we want it, we must go get it, period end of story.

I loved The First Wives Club. Very good choice!
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites! Loved your post today, all so true.
Thanks! It’s created some interesting conversation in the comments. Wow.
So I see. It’s a hot topic, I suppose. Nothing wrong with a healthy debate but there’s a fine line between that and stupidity.
