Learning From The Leading Ladies of Netflix

If you were to write a letter to your younger self, what would you say?

I think I would remind myself that life is short. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Take everything in and don’t be so rushed. And most importantly, to stay strong; don’t let people walk all over you and don’t be afraid of what others think. Be true to who you are.

We sometimes need to remind ourselves of these things on a daily basis. We will watch TV and see strong personalities and strong women everywhere. That is why we need to learn from our leading ladies.

This month, Netflix is showing a number of series that capture the vibrancy of modern womanhood, whether it’s the solidarity expressed by the diverse inmates on Orange Is the New Black, the inspired efforts of a tenacious young Queen in The Crown, the emotional and physical strength of Jessica Jones or the outspoken, unfiltered wit of Chelsea Handler as she relates to women across multiple generations. These characters represent diverse and complex backgrounds that reflect the idea of “empowerment” in numerous ways. And in just a couple of days, we will be reintroduced to a couple more strong leading ladies with the premiere of the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

Each of these leading ladies, in their own way, can teach us all a thing or two about empowerment, strength and courage.

In honour of the newest leading female character, Queen Elizabeth II, a few leading women of Netflix originals have drafted notes to their younger selves highlighting some of the universal truths, challenges and wisdom that transcend place and time, that modern women everywhere can relate to.

For the last 7+ years I have immersed myself in the "mom life". My blog, appropriately named Me, Myself and Kids is my life; the challenges, the laughter, and the tears. But I also offer my own version of motherly advice. In doing so, I’ve designating myself as an MD or “Mom Doc”. Not because I know it all. Don’t get me wrong. It’s an open perspective; my learnings shared so you can take the good, bad and ugly and adapt it to your own family life. So please join me as I share all of the crazy and overwhelming thoughts and experiences of the mom life with Me, Myself and Kids.
