Women are some of, if not the, most powerful creatures on the planet. We are ambitious, beautiful, and unique human beings capable of much more than we often give ourselves credit for. Look at it this way – we’re literally the reason that life exists and continues to do so.
However, it’s not uncommon to forget how incredible we truly are. Challenges, setbacks and our own personal insecurities tear at us each and every day. While it is easy to let these things squander our positivity, we must remember our self-worth not only on an individual level, but as an entire community of fierce women.
Whenever you’re having a (rare) day when you feel less than fabulous, listen to these songs to pick you back up.

1. Love Myself - Hailee Steinfeld
The #1 song to get you feeling exactly how you should - powerful and proud to be who you are!
Most inspirational line: “I’m gonna put my body first and love me so hard ‘til it hurts”
No more feeling how we shouldn't - these songs remind us that we, as women, are more beautiful and more strong than we believe. In the words of our main gal Hailee, "Gonna love myself, any time day or night".
