You Might Be A Thoroughbred Woman If…

  • You’ve been told you’re “too much” — too intense, too driven, too sensitive — and you’ve never quite believed that was a flaw
  • You strain against constraints that were never meant to fit you
  • Your instincts are faster than most people’s reasoning — and you’ve learned to trust them
  • Your competence gets labeled as “competition”
  • You’ve come from behind when people discounted or underestimated you
  • You’ve hit a wall that stopped you cold — and surprised yourself by getting back up
  • The ordinary pace has never felt like enough
  • You need wide open space to think, breathe, and run
  • You give everything to the people and causes you love — and sometimes forget to give any of it to yourself
  • You’ve been wounded but you are not done
  • You know in your bones you were made for a specific race — you just haven’t found the right track yet
  • Faith has been your anchor when your legs gave out
  • You don’t quit — even when you probably should have

If you’re nodding — you’re in the right place.
