The one gift most women never give themselves đ
Hello beautiful soul
You are a precious gift.
Not just to me (but that too!), to the humans you interact with and to the world.Â
And given we are now aligned that that is what you are, let's talk about gifts in general.Â
Not the kind that comes in a box. Not the kind with a ribbon on it.Â
The ki...

I BURN for you â€ïžâđ„
Hello beautiful soul (or Dearest gentle reader should I say haha)
I BURN for you.
If you have seen Bridgerton, you will know exactly where that is from. The longing. The intensity. The completely unhinged level of feeling that one man has for one woman and cannot for the life of him do anything ...

They were NEVER going to find me out đ€«
Hello beautiful soul
I want to tell you about the day I got the job at Shazam in 2013.
I had been in recruitment for thirteen years by that point. Thiiiiiiiirteeeeeeeeeeen years. But I had spent those years agency side â and in those days, those who are in People, Culture and Talent will know th...

Tell me it isn't just me.
Hello beautiful soul
I want to tell you something that still makes me shake my head when I think about it.
I had already GOT the job.
The offer was made. The contract was coming. I was going to be VP People at Onfido â a fast-moving, ambitious tech company â and they had chosen me. After a rigor...

62 million visits. In one month.
Hello beautiful soul
62 million visits. In one month.
(CNN report here)
I donât actually care how you break that down â that is still millions of men.
Let that land.
Because what sits underneath that number is real.
Spaces where men are sharing how to harm women. Tactics. Advice. Normalisation o...

It isn't fearlessness. It's integrity.
Hello beautiful soul
Itâs Sunday night.
Youâre lying in bed, exhausted⊠but you canât sleep. Your mind is replaying that conversation from the end of last week.
Over and over again.
What you said.What you didnât say.What you wish youâd said.
You managed to push it away all weekend.
But now itâs ...

This is what happens when you stop editing yourself âš
Hello beautiful soul
The parts of you that you think are the weirdest?
Theyâre often the parts that create the DEEPEST connection.
I saw this so clearly recently when I was in Florida for my TED talk.
Magical...? Yep.
But honestly, something just as magical also happened off stage.Â
It was meet...

Your weird. Your wild. Your wonderful.
Hello beautiful soul
I want to show you something.
My icon slash logo.Â
Two shapes perhaps...?Two people maybe...?Â
Nope. One person. The two sides of you.Â
The 2nd one is the âright way up.âThe first is "upside down".
And this isnât an accident.
Because most of us have been taught to live â an...

PSA: Say no to the work dinner, when you need to say no to the work dinner đ«Ą
Hello beautiful soul
I said no to the dinner before my TEDx talk.Â
Not because the people werenât wonderful.They were.
Not because I didnât want to be there.I did.
But because I knew what I needed.Â
I needed to sleep.I needed to be clear.I needed to wake up feeling like myself.
And I made no exc...

One exercise + one conversation that could change everything for you đ«Ą
Hello beautiful soul
Wow, WHAT A GIFT that was.
This past weekend I had the opportunity to stand on a TEDx stage and speak about a topic that has shaped so much of my life and work.
And honestly, it was such an incredible feeling.
The talk itself centred on imposter syndrome and my perspective o...

What happens when you finally see behind the curtain đ
Hello beautiful soul
I was working with a client 1:1 this week. Anyone who has worked with me will know I love a wild analogy, and this is no different.
I was talking to her about the Wizard of Oz.
(Stay with me.)
Because one of the cleverest tricks patriarchy ever pulled was grooming us to beli...
