Woman looking to create change
This year marks a monumental milestone for us at One of many—ten years of community, transformation, and growth. As I stood at our 10th Anniversary Gala reflecting on this journey, I found myself in awe of how far we’ve come and the extraordinary women (and men!) who’ve been part of this adventure. I’ve learned so […]
What makes a meaningful career? We all have good days and bad days – times when it feels like your tasks are flying off the to-do list, and others when it’s more like wading through treacle. But apart from the usual ups and downs, do you feel like your days are spent doing work that’s ultimately […]
Clarity. We all want it. I now know how to get it. But curiously, at the age of 18, I had it in spades. I knew what was wrong with the world and what needed fixing. What was wrong with everyone else. And why I was right. Oh, the naivety of youth. Is it just […]
This is highly important, critical, and urgent. You are more than a resource. You cannot be expected to be indefatigable and constantly productive. Yet, this is the pressure that society puts on us—especially on women, who are more often expected to excel in multiple roles simultaneously (career, family, community, and more). This mindset is deeply […]
The Superwoman myth promotes the idea of hyper-independence, but true strength lies in community and collaboration. In Superwoman: Escaping the Myth, I share stories and insights on the power of community support. Building a network of like-minded women can provide the encouragement and resources needed to thrive both personally and professionally. The Isolation of Superwoman […]
Burnout. The dreaded word. It’s become a bit of a buzzword in leadership contexts, and for good reason. It is a pervasive and critical issue that does not discriminate, and yet research shows that women are particularly susceptible to burnout due to societal expectations and the dual burdens of career and family. We know that […]
We have a word problem. Power. That word. It’s laced with undercurrents of “power over”, domination, oppression. And frankly, whether we’ve experienced it personally or not… as a gender we’ve suffered at the hands of that kind of power for too many generations to count. To say nothing of the impact colonialism has had on […]
Sometimes the things which have the biggest impact on your world are the ones you least expect. That’s certainly what I discovered when I stumbled on a surprising way to boost your leadership. It’s something you might be inclined to dismiss as “frivolous” or “unnecessary” but for me, quite the opposite was true. So read […]
Whether it’s a career change, a house move, or the end of a relationship, change is hard. It’s crazy, right – you can be in a job that feels like it’s sucking your soul, an eating pattern that has you feeling like absolute crap or a relationship you know it’s time to end. And yet […]
Boundaries are one of our most essential tools when it comes to staying sane and managing our multiple responsibilities. Whether it’s clarity around work responsibilities, structure around your time or knowing just what is and isn’t acceptable when it comes to communication, forget diamonds – boundaries are your very best friend. So when boundaries don’t […]
