This week, Mom had the ultimate honor of meeting a true legend—Rory the Auro-asaurus, the mighty mascot of Minnesota Women’s Pro Soccer Team. And let me tell you, that dino’s energy? Unmistakable. Bold. Joyful. Unapologetically powerful.
As we celebrated six incredible years of Get Her Hired, Rory reminded me—and everyone else wagging nearby—that confidence doesn’t mean always feeling ready. It means showing up. Holding your stance. And roaring anyway, even if your voice quivers a bit.
Whether you’re switching paths, stepping into new leadership, or just trying to be heard
Here’s how I recommend you channel your inner Dino, tail and all:
🦴 Strike Your Stance Lift your chin, square your paws, and take up your space. A power stance isn’t just for raptors—it tells your nervous system, “We’ve got this.”
🐾 Roar in Your Own Voice Not all roars shake the ground. Some inspire with steady eyes, quiet strength, or well-timed ear twitches. Find your voice—then use it.
🐶 Mirror the Bold When I’m learning something new (like not chewing shoes), I watch the confident ones. Borrow belief. Soak it in. Then wag into your own version of brave.
🧠 Sniff Out the Truth That whisper telling you you’re not ready? Yeah… I growled at it. You’ve come far. You’ve earned your spot. Your path is marked in muddy pawprints and grit.
🎉 Celebrate Like a Mascot You barked back at self-doubt today? That’s a win. You advocated for yourself in a meeting? Major tail wags. Honor the steps—it’s all momentum.
Remember: Confidence isn’t about never trembling. It’s about choosing to keep moving anyway.
Even if your roar is more of a yip some days—it still counts.
So… what’s one way you’re stepping into your Auro-asaurus energy today? I’ll be right here, ears perked, ready to cheer you on. 🦖💥🐾
