Today Is Your Day is a solid dose of inspiration with some real-life insight added in for good measure. Shania's voice is better than ever, and the wisdom in her words has legitimate street cred given her journey. It is SOOO worth adding this song to your playlist.
Here is a snippet of the song from Shania Twain's series on the O Network. It's an acoustic version with an added bonus: Gladys Knight adds some impromptu back up singing.
While Today Is Your Day is a new favorite, I'll share a couple of other songs that help me get going when I'm losing momentum or just can't seem to kick it in gear.
Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield: My friend Denise suggested this to me when I was commiserating about writer's block and analysis paralysis. Thanks, Denise!!! I've added it here because for women returning to work after a significant time away, their career future is unwritten and presents a fantastic opportunity to claim their new story, set new goals, and boldly begin their new journey.
Hammer And A Nail by The Indigo Girls: My favorite line - "The sweetest part is acting after making a decision...." Yes!!! When women decide to look for their on ramp back to work, it is indeed sweet to act on their comeback - research jobs, polishing skills, writing resumes, and developing their job search strategies.
Firework by Katy Perry: A mantra of mine - go ahead, show 'em what you ARE worth!! Because returning to work can be scary for women who off ramped some time ago, confidence often takes a hit. Once they realize their talent, wisdom, life experience and uniqueness, and really understand the value this offers prospective employers, they begin to sparkle! Wonderful!!
This One's For The Girls by Martina McBride: Girl power, country style, big and bold. I defy you to try and NOT sing along.
What songs inspire you to get up get moving? Please share!! There's nothing like listening to great music for some extra mojo!!
All the best,
Carol
