My Girl Power, Goddess Playlist

Music has such an incredible power over us.  It can make us laugh, cry, dance, or reminisce.  It can also degrade us or empower us.  I think it is very important to have some go-to songs that make us feel better no matter what mood we’re in.  Therefore, I have decided to share with you my Girl Power Playlist on Spotify for those times that I need to get in touch with my inner Goddess.  The songs below are from various decades and genres, but all of them put me in touch with my feminine energy.  They empower me and boost my confidence in good and bad times.  I hope they do the same for you!

NOTE- Please do not listen to these songs for the first time in front of young impressionable minds.  Some are more than acceptable for young ears but others aren’t.  You will need to vet these songs for their family-friendliness before playing them for your little ones.
