“TOWANDAAAA!!!” That is the phrase we use in our family when we want to get into peak state! We do this when we need extra courage, or when we are doing something that scares us.
We got this phrase from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes.” You have to see that movie, it is so empowering, and one of my personal favorites! My entire family has watched it, and now, whenever we have something scary we have to do, we help one another by yelling “TOWANDA!!!!” The kids and I screamed it before one of the kids had a job interview, we screamed it before going on stage, we screamed it when we were talking about future goals and dreams! It’s a great way to anchor some personal power, especially in the kids!
Use “Towanda,” or come up with a special phrase for your family! Teach the kids how to muster up the courage that we all need sometimes, and Live Inspired Now!\

Yes great movie! That’s wonderful that you all share in mustering up courage by yelling “Towanda”, some folks may be a bit too shy to yell this, so another great option is to silently muster courage using what’s called the tapping method. I myself use visualization……there are various methods to help us all along the way. “Variety is the spice of life” what an awesome truth! Thank you for sharing Inspired H 🙂
