Have you ever been in a room with another business owner when, in conversation, they lean in, almost like they're about to reveal a big secret? In hushed tones, you about make out the words?... 'part time job.'
Que the entire room falling into stunned and appalled silence...

Here's something I've noticed recently: the women I work with and speak to tend to fall into one of two camps.
Camp 1 - I don't know what's coming next, and it terrifies me.
and
Camp 2 - I don't know what's coming next, and it thrills me.
I imagine camp...

Do you ever sit down at the end of the week and think, woah! That was intense!
That's pretty much how I felt as I sat down to write my list last week.
On Monday, we moved into a new office space. It's close to the river, has HUGE windows, a lovely breakout area with fresh coffee...

Last week was my birthday, and it marked the beginning of my 44th trip around the sun. I drank cocktails and a lot of water (I've learned that hydration and balance are key for me to avoid feeling sluggish and hungover), I enjoyed a 360 immersive experience in the stunning...

I don't know about you, but this last week or two has been heccttiiccc. By the time last weekend came around, it was all I could do to get into clean pj's under my heated blanket (game changer), switch on a movie and take in a few hours in blissful comedies and more...

Last week, I was asked to give a talk to creative media students at a local college (which was all kinds of fabulous). While preparing a slide deck for the event, I reflected on my journey to becoming The Female CEO and what worked and didn't. I was surprised by some of the...

With so many varying pieces of advice coming at us daily (and each claiming to be the right way), it's hard not to feel completely confused on the road to success. Which path should we follow? Are we doing it right? Should we be showing up differently? Dancing?...

In my work 1:1 with start-up founders, I've found that specific topics come up repeatedly and often continue throughout the entrepreneurship journey. Same issue: different levels of responsibility and outcome; today's topic is one of those, and it's worth talking about...

I'm back into my dancing shoes over here at The Female CEO and literally bursting with ideas.
This tends to be a pattern for me. I go into introspection and hibernation over the holidays, and, in all honesty, I find it really difficult to get back into the swing of...

Open LinkedIn on any given day, and you'll see it is awash with heartfelt posts about #mentalhealth, mindfulness talks, and yoga in the boardroom – but amid a burnout epidemic, where should we as...

I am the queen of getting it done fast Everything I do is in double time, with not a second to spare, and it's bullshit. I've been working hard on this one, and the Universe has given me multiple reasons and signs to work (and live) at a slower pace this year.

I don't know about you, but I love Brenè Brown. Something about her feels like she's enveloping me in a massive hug when I hear her speak; know what I mean?
One subject I was leaning into with Brenè recently was criticism. It's something I have discussed a...
