“It is hard to find a grounded woman today. I started looking at women with a careful eye over a decade ago while doing research. Tragically, women today have been robbed of the ideals that facilitate groundedness, specifically, humility. The word itself comes from the Latin word for earth, humus. Women have lost a sense of where and how we are meant to live because we have been told our best life is as an individual, focused on ourselves, instead of in a family, serving and raising others. The idea of grounding, however, of earth, humility, steadiness, are of vital importance.”
