Whereas Susie was figuring out on the fitness center at some point just a few years in the past, she watched the 2008 musical “Mama Mia” film for the fourth time.
She loves the music, she loves the story and apparently so do different individuals as a result of the train room was full of women and men.
Possibly as a result of we have been making ready for a presentation concerning the masculine and female dance of affection, she observed one thing new this time round.
If you happen to don’t know the “Mama Mia” story, it briefly goes one thing like this…
Donna (Meryl Streep), who owns an inn on a Greek island, is giving her daughter a marriage on the inn. Donna’s three associates come for the marriage, in addition to three of Donna’s previous boyfriends who her daughter has secretly invited as a result of she thinks one in all them may be her father.
Right here’s what Susie noticed on this latest viewing of the film that she hadn’t actually seen earlier than and what it has to do with you and having extra spark in yourself and romance in your intimate relationship…
As Donna talked together with her associates about her present life (largely via music), she expressed being bored with shouldering the accountability for the maintenance and success of the inn–in addition to elevating her daughter.
Once more, via music, her associates reminded her concerning the lady she as soon as had been who danced, sang, performed and laughed.
And because the movie progressed, Donna allowed increasingly more of who she was and actually is at her core emerge.
She allowed her female to specific itself that she had pushed down for therefore many years as a result of she needed to DO a lot and be so accountable in her life.
She started to let loose the pleased, laughing individual she as soon as was.
As a result of we get to speak with loads of girls (and males) and are privileged to listen to their tales, we all know that shutting down the female with a purpose to be successful in enterprise and in life is fairly frequent and never simply within the creativeness of the creators of “Mama Mia.”
It’s true for lots of girls.
So what’s improper with not permitting your female essence to play in favor of being profitable in a masculine world?

Someplace alongside the best way, she give up dancing and began doing what she thought would assist her achieve success in
