Many women have untapped skills and gifts. How would their lives change if they weren’t limited by what they thought they could or should do? What would be different in their careers, relationships, and health?

In The WORDZ We Wear, Vera Milan Gervais unpacks how the labels women take on prevent them from achieving everything they are capable of. Words are powerful—they identify which boxes one fits into, often becoming cages that keep women from exploring possibilities.

But confidence, as Vera outlines, comes from believing in oneself. WORDZ (spelled with a “z” to disrupt previous thought patterns) help women embrace their strengths and show up with confidence by changing how they think and talk about themselves. When women intentionally choose WORDZ that empower them, they start to override the limiting beliefs that restrict their choices—the beliefs that hold them back from discovering their full potential.

Ultimately, the WORDZ women wear influence the way they feel about themselves. When they show up with confidence, they expect more. When they expect more, they pursue more. When they pursue more, they get more.

It’s time for women to cultivate their WORDZ; it’s time for women to live their best lives.
