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 […]

According to the UN, gender equality is still 300 years away.   If you’d asked me 9 years ago when I launched One of Many whether I thought we’d see it in my lifetime, I would have told you no, but I hope in my children’s. But much has changed in these last years, and honestly […]

Many of us spend too much time in our Superwoman archetype.  Burning the candle at both ends, pushing through and achieving no matter what.  Whether it be promotions, perfect mothering, or punishing schedules… The cultural call to relentlessly perform and achieve is both compelling, and exhausting. If you’ve been in the community for a while, […]

If you’ve been suffering from symptoms of hormone imbalance (whether you’re pre, peri or post-menopause), hormone testing can often be the missing link in your journey back to full health. Doctors will often say that hormone testing is not worth doing, especially during peri-menopause. It’s too unreliable as hormones are often fluctuating throughout the month. And […]

Last Thursday evening, when we were putting the kids to bed, I snuggled in beside James to read him his bedtime story. Greg came into the room, without a smile and said, “cuddle down you two, I’ve got some news.”  Puzzled, I thought to myself, what on earth?   He shared with us the Queen had […]

As a child, did you ever imagine how fun it would be when you could “make all the rules”? When to go to bed (never!)… What to have for dinner (icecream!)… Who to allow in your special secret club (no boys!). Unfortunately, along with growing up comes the dawning realization that “making all the rules” […]

You know you have to say no if you’re going to make progress on what you’re actually trying to achieve at work. But one of the most challenging times to uphold your boundaries can be when the request you’re declining comes from your boss, a client, or someone else in a position of authority. You […]

Are relationships about compromise? In 2011, Madonna was quoted as saying: “The older I get, the more I understand about the nature of relationships and how to have a successful one. The more I realize that it has to do with compromise and sacrifice and that’s just the way it goes. And unless you want […]

Too much to do, too little time? Welcome to the somewhat knackered club! Research this year from the Mental Health Foundation Thinktank in the UK showed that 81% of women felt overwhelmed or unable to cope in the past year (and we’re not being swamped with spa days or lie-ins).
