It’s supposed to mean she can live independently on her own and does not require the help or means from someone else.

But to be fair it depends which woman is saying this… some people really don’t understand what independent means this also goes for men who still receive backhands from mummy and daddy. 1. She makes her own money. If she marries and becomes a mother then she supports her husband in his endeavors and has her own hobbies and money making “side hustle.” She also may be very financially savvy serving as the CFO (chief financial officer) of the household which frees her spouse up to focus on advancing professionally and helping more people thus generating more income.

2. She has a clear vision for her future.

3. She assumes 100% responsibility for all outcomes and is never a victim.

4. She communicates with grace, kindness and knows how to ask for what she wants.

5. She had healthy and clear boundaries. When she says yes, she means it because she can just as easily say no.

6. She can do things for herself or can find and hire others to do things for her. Broken refrigerator? No problem. Within 10 minutes she’s on the phone with the repairman setting up an appointment.

7. She’s loves herself first, most, best and always. She doesn’t need a man. She simply wants a man and enjoys the growth a relationship provides both people in it.

8. She’s charismatic.

9. She’s confident.

10. She knows how to cook.
