Letter from Luca: Why the LUCA community matters so much to me
Hey, lovely LUCA Community!
Luca here – I’ve been thinking deeply about something lately and I wanted to share my thoughts on this subject with you:
Women supporting women, and how important it is. Individually and collectively, I feel this is something we need to prioritise, and to consider how we can all take a step in the right direction.
I’ll be honest and admit to moments in the past where I’ve felt jealous of another woman’s success, her looks, her achievements, or the way she carried herself. Maybe you’ve felt it, too? It’s so easy to compare ourselves to others and feel like we come up short.
What if we told them how much we admire them and how brilliantly they’re doing? What if, instead of picking out their flaws to make ourselves feel better, we cheered them on?
I’ve experienced this myself with a mentor who made all the difference.
During a low point filled with doubts, this incredible woman stepped in, offering me practical advice and reminding me of why I started LUCA in the first place. That support was invaluable, and I’m so grateful for it.
Rather than looking at another woman with envy, let’s root for her. Someone else’s shining light doesn’t dim yours in the slightest.
There’s room for all of us to shine.
