Please share! I just need a self-esteem boost and I think listening to positive music will help. Thanks

Hi OP when I need to feel a good dose of strong women then my go-tos are:
Tina Turner
Aretha Franklin
Dolly Parton
Tracey Chapman

Each artist is completely different but they will all tell you stories which have strong women at their heart.

Second Wind by Maren Morris

woodcutbirds · 01/05/2019 17:33

Sisters Are doing it for themselves - Annie Lennox
We are Family - Sister Sledge
The Kick Inside by Kate Bush - it's such a female album and so completely unapologetic and strong and sexy. Not at all strong-by-mimicking-men but really celebrating women as we are.
