A Military Mom Shares Her Inspiring Story through her song
LISTEN TO “TOUGH GIRL” BY BREE JAXSON HERE
Nashville, TN – Country Singer-Songwriter Bree Jaxson’s latest track, “Tough Girl,” calls out the absurd expectations society has placed on women everywhere. As an active member of our military, she defines everything a “Tough Girl” represents as a woman, mother, wife and artist.
Through the use of her excellent storytelling lyrical skills, Bree Jaxson leads us through the life of a young girl growing up in a world so cruel. Each verse represents a different age range and the challenges, both big and small, that women face. From scraping your knee as a small child, to the first major heartbreak as a teen, and to the well known struggles of navigating the world as a 20-something and beyond.
Jaxson is fed up with everyone telling her how women are supposed to act when dealing with these struggles. The world tells women that in order to be a “tough girl” you have to “put on your best disguise / and put your fears away, roll up those sleeves / and pretend it’s alright,” but that is just not the case.
As a mother, Bree Jaxson is setting an amazing example for her young children with this single. She is telling them, and the rest of us, that it is okay to express your emotions. Don’t shy away from being human because it is seen as something you aren’t “supposed” to do. This single serves as the validation that we all need to hear sometimes. “I hope that every woman and man out there recognizes that being a tough girl is a blessing in everyone’s life.
