Women's History Month Reflection

Speaker 1 0:32

Welcome to the Ones Are podcast . I'm your host , vekka , and today it's a solo episode of something I really wanted to talk about in honor of Women's History Month .

When I think about Women's History Month , I think of all the courageous women that we know about that have made impact in history , and we often admire them for their brave acts . But before we name all the well-known women who made history , I like to highlight a different kind of courage , one that I believe goes unnoticed . Yes , the women whose achievements changed the world are remembered by name , and rightfully so . But I believe that for each historically recognized woman , there are countless others whose name we'll never see in the top of the list . Yet I believe these underrated women are truly making history .

Celebrating Unrecognized Courage

Speaker 1 1:19

It is the woman who quietly shows up for a friend who just had a miscarriage . It's the one who sits with a neighbor in tears , listening to her greatest fears and insecurity . It's the woman who picks up the phone to hear the same story over and over again from her friend in troubled marriage . It's the woman who sees the struggling student in their classroom and speaks the good that they see in them , even when everyone else sees them as only a bully or troubled kid . But they see deeper . It's the single mom who's working two jobs after leaving an abusive relationship , determined to provide for her children and carve a better future . It's the woman doing her best to break generational cycles , even when it hurts like hell , wondering if she'll ever overcome what those before her could not . It's the woman who keeps seeing the best in people , even after being hurt time and time again . It's the friend who sits with a cancer patient , letting them know that they won't face this alone . It's the friend who sits with a cancer patient , letting them know that they won't face this alone .

It's the wife who shows up for a marriage day after day , even when all hope seems out of reach . It's the woman who serves her employees like family , wanting the best for them . It's the woman who's committed to taking care of a child with disabilities , even perhaps when other people have given up . It's the woman who

You Are Making History

believes that the best is yet to come , letting her faith carry her through yet another day . It's the woman who struggles with addiction , trying to cope with her traumatic past , doing the best she can with the tools that she has now . It's the woman who prays on her knees for child making poor choices , believing this won't always be the reality . It's the woman who has audacious faith and believes that even the smallest acts of her kindness can change a life . It's the one who loves those around her with everything she's got , even if she can't afford therapy or doesn't have all the tools . It's for the woman who isn't trying to make history , but who's simply doing her best day in and day out .

Speaker 1 3:48

These women are silent superheroes . If you're listening to this today and you're a woman , hear me say this you are valuable , you're an important woman and you're worthy of love . You are making history , whether you realize it or not . Every time you choose to do the right thing , you're creating a ripple effect into eternity , impacting more lives than you can imagine , no matter how small the act .

Speaker 1 4:11

While I'm grateful for the famous names , like Harriet Tubman , mother Teresa , florence Nightingale and so many others , I also want to recognize the women who are all around us , making history in ways they may never know , and I want to remind you that you are a gift to those around us , making history in ways they may never know . And I want to remind you that you are a gift to those around you , so never underestimate your power , influence you bring by just being present . The world is a better place because of you , and so today I celebrate you , the incredible , courageous woman that you are , just the way you are , doing the best that you can , day in and day out . You are a woman of impact . You are a woman of history . I hope you know how valuable you are today .
