Woman looking to create change
In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, where success stories often celebrate courage under pressure, it’s crucial to challenge a cultural belief deeply ingrained in our minds. We’ve been conditioned to think that people are at their most courageous when the stakes are high, and the pressure is on. While it’s true that many of us […]
When was the last time you found yourself in a conversation that really mattered—where the stakes were high, and you knew you needed to show up fully? Maybe it was negotiating your salary, asking for a promotion, or standing up for yourself in a difficult situation. These moments can be daunting, but with the right […]
We’ve all been there—feeling like we’re spinning a million plates in the air, running from one task to another, and barely able to catch our breath. Whether you’re running a business, leading a team, or juggling multiple projects, overwhelm can creep in fast and leave you feeling completely stuck. It’s that feeling when everything seems […]
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.

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 truth is: we need more women in leadership. And yet… the Superwoman myth often deters women from stepping into their leadership potential due to fear of burnout and unattainable expectations.But let’s redefine leadership for a second… It’s not about your title, who you have power over, or how big your salary is. Leadership can […]
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.
