We must drop the ball and force others—men—to pick it up. We must let ourselves off the hook, cultivate deep self-love, and then learn how to turn and reflect it back on other women—unabashedly, fervently, with the full force of our empathy and compassion. We need our rest, our energetic reserves, for putting the world back in order. We need to move past our worry that we’re not doing enough and get on side with each other so that we can expand together.
