I’m a young‑at‑heart woman who has spent more than three decades in finance, accounting, and corporate operations. I’ve navigated mergers, restructurings, and the quiet, familiar “ick” that comes when decisions are made about you instead of with you. After years of working hard, leading teams, and showing up with integrity, I found myself once again on the receiving end of a minimizing comment — the kind so many women know too well. A leader referred to an adult, professional woman as “some girl.”

That moment didn’t make me angry. It made me awake.

Instead of shrinking, I asked myself a different question:

What can I build from this?

That same day, without fully knowing where it would lead, I created Some Girl, LLC. Over the days that followed, the idea sharpened: I wasn’t interested in outrage. I wasn’t interested in being offended. I wanted something positive. Something empowering. Something that reframed the way women see themselves — and the way the world speaks to and about us.

For me, S.O.M.E. stands for Strong, Optimistic, Motivated, Exceptional.

But the beauty of this movement is that every woman defines her own S.O.M.E.:

  Secure. Outspoken. Memorable. Equal.

Smart. Optimistic. Moving. Empowered.

Soulful. Open. Mindful. Evolving.

Survivor. Overcoming. Mighty. Enough.

There is no wrong version. There are many more versions.

There is only the one that feels true to you.

As I reflected on my own experience, I also thought about how far women have come — and how recently. In my lifetime, women could legally be denied credit until 1974. Women only gained the right to serve on juries in all 50 states in 1973. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which made it illegal to fire or refuse to hire a woman for being pregnant, wasn’t passed until 1978. These milestones aren’t ancient history. They’re reminders that some women are just getting started.

The S.O.M.E. Movement™ is not angry. It’s not anti‑men. It’s not “girlboss culture,” and it’s not about clapping back.

It’s something deeper.

It’s about redefining what “some girl” or “some woman” means — because for too long, those phrases have been used to minimize, dismiss, or diminish women. Sometimes intentionally. Often unconsciously.

The S.O.M.E. Method™ gives women a way to respond with clarity, confidence, and grace.

The S.O.M.E. Movement™ gives us a way to reclaim our identity.

This is a movement built on language, presence, and self‑definition.

A movement for women who are done shrinking.

A movement for women who want to feel powerful, grounded, and fully themselves.

 Every woman is SOMEthing powerful.

And this is where we begin.
