“It’s like, no matter what I do, no matter what I say, one sees me, no one hears me. I post on social media, I write blog posts, I join FB groups, I try to be of service, and nothing seems to work. It seems like the more I flap my wings, the more invisible I become. Even when I make a scene, I still feel unseen. This hurts.”

I know that feeling of doing everything you can to be seen and heard and STILL feeling unheard and invisible.

Why is that?

Well, I used to think it was their fault — that people were deliberately not trying to see and hear me.

And then, several slaps upside the head later, I realized it was ALL ME.

And knocking.

The Mother Hood taught me something BIG: I hadn’t consciously entered The Woman Hood. I still had work to do.
