15 Female Owned Businesses to Support

Let us all support one another and what it means to be a woman in business. 💪

'Proving them wrong' isn't something my kid needs to embrace in order to succeed

I’ve been told to “stay in my lane” when showing initiative, been labeled “meat at the door” when managing events, “you’ll never succeed at that” and “do you really want this job, think of your family?” from future managers and my favourite (not), “ice queen” when refusing the advances of a boss.

Does our past shape us, make us or break us?

We all have a past, some more traumatic than others. Regardless, what has happened in our past can significantly impact our future. The impact can be an adverse effect that can cause ongoing issues in our life, or we can work within ourselves to turn our scars into stars.

Introducing Circles: Take your safety to the next level

A circle is a private community of people created by you. It is a group that you grant your live location to. You can opt-in if you are sent an invite to join a circle in which you can accept/decline. It is a way to stay connected with the people that matter most to you and take a proactive step in protecting yourself and each other.

Australia’s front line workers deserve our praise, not hostility

We are saying it now and we will say it again, Frontline workers deserve our praise, not our condemnation. When we weren't permitted in, you were the ones who held our families' hands as they passed. You are the ones who helped birth our children, and you continue to put your own life in danger every day to help save ours. And for that, we will be profoundly grateful.
