Calling All Cougars! (And Cubs)

The young people call us Cougars, and we are!

Yet admittedly, sometimes we don’t always feel that way. I confess to feeling more like a Cub at many stages of my life. Haven’t you? Come on! You can admit it to me, this is sister-to-sister talk here.

I don’t write about courage because I’m fearless. I write to remind myself to move despite the fear, even with the knot in my stomach. If I can do it, you can too.

Are you listening to me Sis? I’m speaking to my Cougar Sisters who in their quiet private moments feel more like a cub than a cougar.

Confession time… I experienced a Cub moment this week. Yes, I sure did and I’m not afraid to share it here. One video soared to 1,310 views. Another? Barely 9. That’s life. That’s courage. Not everything we create “hits,” but every time we put ourselves out there, we’re building our confidence muscles and practicing courage.

At 60 years young, I’m sticking my toe in the waters. Entrepreneurship in 2025 is nothing I ever pictured, yet here I am, obsessed. Because our stories matter. Mine. Yours. They deserve to be told, whether 9 people or 1,310 hear them.

I have some stories to tell that will blow you away and leave you wondering how in the world am I still standing and I will share more of them. I will invite other women to share theirs too.

The win is in the showing up.

So tell me, Sis… where in your life will you do it anyway? Or are you feeling more like a cub right now, needing the reminder that you, too, can roar?
