There are things that only a woman can do to make things alright, but it doesn't have to come in the form of perfection and it doesn't need to be to your own detriment.“We never fully come to terms with the lost that cuts us to our soul” -Devon Franklin, It Takes a WomanCheck out Devon's Audible Exclusive, It Takes A Woman: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-It-Takes-a-Woman/dp/B09X24B5B1 SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Devon Franklin0:41 | It Takes A Woman's Strength 6:29 | A Mother's Perfect Imperfection14:55 | Remedies for Childhood Trauma18:44 | Self-Care, Sacrifice, & Healthy Boundaries29:54 | Define Your Role & Identity 37:41 | Strong Men Raised By Women44:47 | Recognize the Pain & How You Feel50:50 | Love, Sex, & RelationshipsQUOTES:“There's an expectation that women are going to do a certain thing, and as a result it isn't always valued.” [3:55]“My mother was a strong woman because of her vulnerability.” [5:17]“I'm not about being selfish, but I've learned the value of self-prioritizing.” [17:48]“As men we do tend to be selfish when it comes to what women offer us and give us, and we do tend to undervalue and take for granted what women give us.” [22:30]“Yes, you should sacrifice, certainly there's nothing wrong with that, yet please don't sacrifice to the detriment of who you are.” [24:05]“I love you enough to offer whatever advice or help or support, yet if I step in and do it for you, then I'm actually not loving you.” [28:08]“If I find my identity in service to someone else, that to me is the equivalent of building your house on sand.” [34:20]“A lot of things, when they hurt us, is because there's a seed of truth in it. So our reaction is really very revelatory. How we react to certain things is a great indicator of what's going on in here.” [42:03]“This pain is here to teach me if I let it, and this pain is here to help me understand who I am and who I'm not…” [43:43]“I'm a perfectionist in reform.

Show Highlights: No one can become successful without mentorship. -DeVon FranklinOne of the keys of mentorship is to not overburden the mentor. -DeVon FranklinWhether or not you know the person, or you ever get to meet them, they can be your virtual mentor. You can look at your field and the people who inspire you in your field and get virtual mentorship from them by reading their interviews, looking at their social media, etc. That's a powerful opportunity to get mentorship from someone you believe in. -DeVon FranklinWhen things happen that we don't expect, it's important to acknowledge how you feel. -DeVon FranklinIt's disappointing when something doesn't work that you wanted to work, but that's when you need to go back and look at the process. -DeVon FranklinWhen you hit a brick wall, it's so important to feel it and go through it so that you can move on and grow from it.-DeVon FranklinIf you're "out of aces," maybe it's time to get up from that particular table and pursue something new. Or maybe, you're at the right table, but waiting on the right hand, so you need to be persistent. -DeVon FranklinEven if things aren't working out how you want, you should still stay, because you're still getting more benefits than cost put in. The moment you stop growing or learning is when it's costing you more than the benefit. -DeVon FranklinIt's important to maintain a strong sense of self. -DeVon FranklinWe need to look at success in a more dynamic way. -DeVon Franklin DeVon's closing thoughts: It's important to keep a strong sense of self and a sense of humility. If you're working with or around strong personalities—in either a personal or professional sense— and they suggest or do something that is against your personal values, it's okay to say, that's cool, I'm going to pass on that. It's important to look in the mirror and say I'm comfortable with who I am, and no matter the personalities I'm around, I'm going to do my best to stay true to myself.
