Today we're going to talk about what it means to demonstrate authentic strength as a female entrepreneur. Being a rose with thorns is a perfect example of beauty uniting with strength. These two parts come together in one beautiful feminine whole.

This is just like the multi-faceted nature of female entrepreneurs—we are leaders who are honored for our authenticity, yet respected for our great strength and power. Although we all have a little sugar and spice within us, some women don't know how to use their thorns properly. Even when they're in a position of power, they feel like they're walking on eggshells or running behind on things.

In other cases, after a long day of running a company, these women take on the bulk of responsibilities inside the home. But there's another side, too: women who are comfortable with their thorns, but forget how to emphasize their rosier aspects.

Learning to balance these two sides of ourselves as women supports inner strength, resilience, and our true gifts. You can be kind, nurturing, and engaging while still holding your boundaries and expectations. When in doubt, fall back on your core values, which should be a guide for everything you do in your business.

Again, start by demonstrating your core values first. By understanding and demonstrating your values, you pave the way for your team to follow. Balancing your rose and thorns supports your emotional fitness, allows you to lead with empathy, helps you see your own strengths, and lets you approach challenges with assertive confidence.
