Hello beautiful soul

Sometimes you have to dress for the next chapter before you know the plot đ
Hello beautiful soul
âIn the first week I knew the environment wasnât right for me⊠but I told myself I should give it more time.â
A woman said that to me this past week, and it stopped me in my tracksâbecause Iâve heard it so many times before.
Not just in work. In love. In life. Iâve even sa...

We cry. We rise. We LEAD. đ„
Hello beautiful soul
For most of my career, every time my brain froze in a meeting, I stumbled over a salary ask, or let someone talk over me, I thought the problem was me.
I was on my way to becoming a Chief People Officer. Climbing the ranks. Still quietly blaming my âlack of confidenceâ for t...

Tell the truth⊠just not the WHOLE truth (if you want the job) đ«Ą
Hello beautiful soul
Thereâs a version of the truth that gets you hired.And thereâs a version that talks you right out of the room.
I see it all the time with womenâespecially brilliant, high-achieving, quietly powerful women.We want to be honest. Radically honest. So we donât just name our wins...

What it REALLY looks like to choose yourself âš
Hello beautiful soul
Can I be real with you? Sometimes I have to stop and take a breath to take it all in.
The women I get to work with?They are literally walking case studies in courage, clarity, and quiet power.

Your job shouldnât cost you your safety, sovereignty, and sense of self đ€Ż
Hello beautiful soul
âWhy donât you just leave?â
Itâs what people say when someone is having a bad time at work.It sounds so simple. So obvious.
But whether someone can leaveâor feels able toâdepends entirely on the power dynamic theyâre trapped in.
We see the same thing with domestic abuse.

Fit nowhere. Belong everywhere.
Hello beautiful soul
I never really felt like I belonged at school, and that set the tone for many chapters of my life that followed.Â
My brain didnât quite fit the system I found myself in.I asked too many questions. Felt too many things. Thought in loops and spirals instead of straight lines.

Don't let a "good" life get in the way of a GREAT one âïž
Hello beautiful soul
In 2010, I was living what many would call a âgoodâ life.
A senior role in recruitment.A home in London.Married.
From the outside, I looked like someone who had it all figured out.
But inside?
I was crumbling.Barely hanging on.Living in a state of perpetual burnout.
I was in...

PSA: Stop telling women how to speak and how to be at work đ€Ź
Hello beautiful soul
Every week, I hear from women who feel like theyâre the problem.
Theyâre not.Youâre not.
It usually starts small:
âI shared an idea and someone told me to soften my tone.ââI spoke with confidence and got told I was intimidating.ââI admitted I was nervousâand someone told me ...

When I was living in Atlanta two years ago, I started watching the early episodes of Queer Eye â partly because it was set there first, and I wanted to see if I was starting to recognise places đ
But what I noticed had nothing to do with the backdrop.
It was the setup. The ...

"I don't even think I want to lead" - said ALL Women Who Lead (at least once đ)
Hello beautiful soulÂ
Iâve been thinking about something I hear a lot.
Womenâbrilliant, capable, high-achieving womenâtelling me:âI just donât think I even want to lead.â
Not because we donât care.But because we donât want to lead like that.
Not if it means burning out, staying small, or becomin...
