Last week’s cartoon, about how one woman asks for sex, is here. All rights reserved, and content including cartoons is © Donna Barstow 2014, My own website is Donna Barstow Cartoons. And Like me on Facebook to get notified of new cartoons. Thanks!

Today’s cartoon is about listening to your own voice – but which one? The trainer is telling this young woman to take a chance and push forward, while her mother says to hold back. Sound familiar?

I struggle myself with the inner critic. Whenever you’re considering your next step, or doing anything creative, (like drawing!) it’s important to be open to all possibilities. Otherwise, you might miss the really fun, or life-changing ones.

Although everyone knows that mothers aren’t allowed in the gym, anyway.
