Louder Girl Community | SISTERHOOD. AMPLIFY. REVOLUTION. |

Welcome to Louder Girl, where we rewrite narratives and amplify the strength of every woman.

Defying stereotypes with boldness and authenticity. Join us in reclaiming our stories and embracing our true power. LOUDER GIRL is a revolution empowering women to reclaim their stories and break free from outdated narratives. What started as Representation Rebellion, founded by Dr. Z (Michelle Zive), has evolved into Louder Girl—a movement challenging ageism and sexism while celebrating the stren

gth, wisdom, and power of women over 50. It all began when a woman shouted "Louder, Girl!"—a moment that ignited a call to action for women ready to amplify their voices and step into their power. From a wake-up call in my 30s to earning my PhD and confronting the biases silencing women’s voices, Louder Girl was born to help women share their authentic stories and disrupt the status quo. Join us in rewriting societal norms, embracing your unique voice, and building a world where women are seen, heard, and celebrated.

Well, well, well, perhaps we got too loud or too big for our britches. Perhaps we should have been more grateful that we are afforded "an" INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, and by golly, we do have the whole month of March to celebrate women. YAY! Please hear the dripping sarcasm in my comments.

The truth is that our culture, institutions, and corporations are trying to erase women (and the LGBTQ+, BIPOC, middle class and poor communities). Google claimed that they can't "celebrate" all the people and communities that "need" to be celebrated. Please see my last post about the Google image used for IWD: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1256427166485622&set=a.476284261166587

There has always been a concerted effort to silence us, to make us invisible. PLEASE don't let them erase us. Tell your stories. Write. Talk with people outside your circle. Support other women trying to be heard and seen.

ONWARD!

What does this image mean to you? What is the story here?

I went on Google today, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, and this was the image that greeted me. So, I thought, "Okay, they're honoring science." When I clicked on the image it was indeed for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY with Google celebrating all the discoveries and breakthroughs women have contributed. Does this scream women and stem? It doesn't for me.

So what, Dr. Z? At least they are honoring women in STEM.
Are they? I don't see it. And that's the problem, our culture doesn't see us.

To all of you who are telling your stories, fighting the good fight, calling out inequities, keep it up! We need to get LOUDER, GIRL!

To every woman reading this: You are a STONG. You are WORTHY. You are a FORCE.

For too long, the world has told women to stay small, to dim their light, to fit into a mold. But we were never meant to be anything less than extraordinary. Our strength, our voices, and our presence deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated—not just in March, but every single day.

This is your reminder: You are worthy. You are powerful. You belong in every room, at every table, in every conversation. Stand tall, take up space, and never shrink for anyone. When one woman rises, we all rise. Let’s lift each other, amplify each other, and remind the world just how unstoppable we are.

ONWARD!

You are not an afterthought.

Society loves to tell women that love is something we earn through others. That our worth is measured in relationship status. That a single day on the calendar determines whether we are enough.

But here’s the truth—you are the love story. Your existence is proof that love is more than a partnership. It’s the resilience in your journey, the fire in your voice, the way you uplift others and yourself.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t shrink. Don’t wait. Honor the love you’ve built within yourself. Celebrate the woman you’ve become and the one you are still becoming. Because you are worth celebrating—today and always.

ONWARD!

Every woman who has ever been underestimated holds the power to redefine the narrative.

Beyoncé just made history—winning Best Country Album and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter. A genre that tried to shut her out couldn’t ignore the demand. A system that overlooked her had to recognize her power. She was mocked, dismissed, and counted out. And yet—she kept creating. Kept pushing. Kept owning her voice.

Let this be your reminder: No system, no gatekeeper, no outdated rulebook decides your worth. YOU do. And when you rise, the world will have no choice but to listen.

Thank you to Beyoncé, an inspiration to every woman who has been knocked down, bone-tired, and ready to give up—yet still rises, still pushes forward.

👉Who are the LOUDER GIRLS in your life? How do YOU rise, no matter who tries to hold you back?

Want to disrupt the professional status quo? Start with investing in YOU.

Organizations thrive when individuals bring their authentic selves to the table. Radical self-love and confidence are your leadership superpowers.

You can't inspire change if you're running on empty. Prioritize your well-being, because self-care fuels professional growth. When you respect your own voice, it resonates beyond any boardroom. Stand tall, speak with purpose, and own your power. Empower yourself to lead with authenticity and confidence in every professional setting.

🔊 Exist loudly. Live proudly. We are LOUDER GIRLS!

Stop defining your worth by what you've endured. It's time to rewrite your story.

Your value isn’t shaped by sacrifice or suffering—it’s found in self-respect and conscious choices.

You are more than your past experiences and the roles you've been expected to play. Your worth is not determined by how much you give to others, nor by how much you’ve been through. It's time to stop living by outdated narratives and start creating your own path to success and fulfillment. Step into your true power by embracing self-love and curating a life that reflects your unique value. Own your story and break free from expectations that no longer serve you.

🔊 Exist loudly. Live proudly. We are LOUDER GIRLS.

I posted this bio photo of me yesterday, Saturday (1/11), on my FB page. Why did I do it? Because it's important for women of a certain age to post photos of ourselves. We need to disrupt the stories they sell and tell about us like we aren't allowed to age. The cultural narrative is that we become invisible when we turn 50. Screw that! I implore all women to post photos of themselves living their lives. Post your photos here. Get LOUDER GIRL!

I know some of you have noticed me mentioning “LOUDER GIRL” here and there—and today, I’m thrilled to formally introduce it to you.

LOUDER GIRL isn’t just a name; it’s a movement, a revolution, a rallying cry. It’s about reclaiming our power, rewriting our stories, and amplifying our voices in a world that often tries to silence us.

This journey started with Representation Rebellion, where we disrupted the narratives of ageism and sexism. Now, we’re transitioning that powerful platform into something even bigger: LOUDER GIRL. Through the power of storytelling, we’ll build connections, challenge outdated scripts, and create a world where women are seen, heard, and celebrated for their authentic selves.

💬 LOUDER GIRL was inspired by a simple moment—a woman shouting, “Louder, Girl!” during one of my speeches. That moment sparked something bigger: a call for all of us to step into our power and speak our truth unapologetically.

Exist loudly. Live proudly. We are LOUDER GIRLS!

It’s time to stop lying to yourself. The truth can be hard, but facing it head-on is the only way to break free and grow.

When you confront the toxic behaviors and flaws you’ve been holding onto, you’re making room for real transformation. Growth starts with honesty.

Getting your life together is not about perfection—it’s about doing the inner work of self-awareness and change. It’s time to stop hiding behind flaws and toxic habits that no longer serve you. Embrace your power, take bold steps towards transformation, and become the woman you are meant to be. Your story isn’t over—this is just the beginning of your evolution. Let go of the past and make way for your true self to shine.

You go, louder girl!

Howdy! This is my latest contribution to Kuel Life!

In my article, "3 Practical Ways To Prioritize Yourself After Decades Of Putting Everyone Else First," I share my journey of self-discovery and offer actionable tips to help you reclaim your life. For years, I balanced being the perfect daughter, wife, mother, and professional—until I realized it was time to put myself first. If you’ve been putting yourself on the back burner, this is your moment to thrive!

Here’s a sneak peek at how to take charge of your life:
1️⃣ Reclaim Your Personal Space & Time
Set boundaries. Learn to say “no” without guilt. Prioritize rest and “me time”—it’s non-negotiable.
2️⃣ Reconnect With Your Passions
Explore hobbies you’ve been putting off—start a creative project or try something new.
3️⃣ Prioritize Your Physical & Mental Well-Being
Stay active, eat healthily, and make self-care a priority. Your happiness and health matter.

🌱 Midlife is the perfect time to invest in YOU. Embrace the change and thrive!

Surround yourself with energy that builds you up—because who and what’s around you 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴.

The people in our lives, how we speak to ourselves, and what we do for our own well-being all shape our self-worth. Each choice we make, big or small, affects how we see ourselves and what we believe we’re capable of.

Choose to be with those who inspire and uplift the truest version of you. As Dr. Z reminds us, your inner circle and the way you speak to yourself have a direct impact on your confidence and well-being. Prioritize self-care as an essential part of your life—every act of nurturing yourself builds resilience and brings you closer to a life where you are fully valued, seen, and empowered. Let each decision reflect the love and respect you deserve; it’s your time to thrive.

Hey Rebels! Embracing solitude can ignite your journey of self-discovery like nothing else!

In our fast-paced world, solitude is often misunderstood, with being alone equated to loneliness. But in reality, these quiet moments offer a chance to reconnect with ourselves and explore our inner landscapes. Embracing solitude can boost creativity and strengthen our resolve to live authentically, allowing us to recognize the beauty in our own company.

Solitude isn’t loneliness; it’s an invitation to dive deep into your own soul. This essential time spent with yourself helps you understand your worth and break free from societal expectations. Dr. Z emphasizes that when we learn to cherish our own company, we cultivate a powerful self-awareness that fuels our journey to become the biggest, baddest version of YOU.

The quiet moments of self-reflection are often the key to your transformation.

The journey of self-discovery isn’t just personal; it ripples into every aspect of our lives, influencing our relationships, choices, and the legacy we leave behind.

The self-work that you embrace in silence has the power to shape your entire reality. When you dig deep to uncover your true self, you build a foundation of confidence and resilience that shines through every interaction. This is your invitation to honor that journey, disrupt the narratives that no longer serve you, and unleash the most authentic, powerful version of yourself. Remember, Michelle Zive (Dr. Z) believes that your personal evolution is key to rewriting the story of who you are.

Who decided “too much” was a bad thing? Maybe it’s exactly what sets you apart.

We’ve been taught to shrink ourselves, to be quieter, smaller, and more acceptable. But that narrative doesn’t serve us—it limits our potential. When you embrace every part of who you are, especially the parts others may think are “too much,” you unlock a deeper sense of freedom and purpose. You are not here to conform; you are here to make waves.

Dr. Z says it best—being “too much” is your superpower, not a flaw. So embrace every bold, fearless part of yourself, because that’s what leads to your biggest breakthroughs. Stop playing small; you’re here to take up space and rewrite the story of what it means to be you!

Are you tired of living by someone else's script? It’s time to take the pen and start crafting your own powerful narrative!

Let go of the guilt that often accompanies stepping away from the expectations of others. Making changes in your life is not just a luxury; it's a necessity for your well-being. You owe it to yourself to prioritize what truly matters and what resonates with your heart. Embrace the freedom that comes with rewriting your narrative and living authentically.

The journey of self-discovery is filled with moments that challenge societal norms, but these challenges are where your growth lies. So, forget what they think—listen to your inner voice and take bold steps forward. When you honor your true self, your nervous system will thank you, and you'll find a renewed sense of energy and purpose. Remember, you are the author of your life, and it’s time to create the biggest, baddest version of YOU! Dr. Z would always remind us that this journey is worth every step.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I didn’t just celebrate the day—I celebrated owning my story. From Albuquerque to Tasty, Mexico, I spent the day reflecting on the power of self-celebration. Why do I make it a point to tell everyone? Because it’s a reminder that we don’t need anyone else’s approval to honor who we are.Self-celebration isn’t just for special occasions—it’s a daily act of rebellion against the narratives we’ve been sold. So, how are you showing up for yourself today?
