When you were a little girl, what did you dream of doing and becoming?
What were the things that got you out of bed and kept you up late at night with anticipation and excitement?
Perhaps you put your dreams on hold to get a brother through school.
Perhaps you got married and thought "When we buy our first house, I'll get to do what I really want."
Perhaps you had children and thought "When the children are grown, I'll get to it."
Your reading these words are not a coincidence. You are in the right place at exactly the right moment in time. You are here for a reason - a very specific one.
Have you been a student at the "Hard knocks of life" school? I've certainly been there, maybe you can relate to a couple of these situations:
-
A family member committing suicide
-
A father dying at a young age
-
Your husband being diagnosed with cancer
-
Adopting two or more children with significant problems
-
Giving birth to a child with special needs
- Not being able to conceive despite all the medical treatment
-
Being stuck in an abusive relationship
- Your parents not being able to take of themselves and you now have that responsibility
All these things that happen to us in our lives are the lessons we need to learn and then teach others. Whether it is personal experiences or business experiences - life happens to everyone. It does not discriminate based on the colour of your skin, the suburb you live in, the position you hold at work.
Women need other women.
Since ancient times we've been getting together in groups and circles to support each other, but modern life has left us little room to get together in ways where we can have sincere, deep and courageous conversations. Conversations that allow us to build resilience, to grow, to be Women of Strength.
The world is calling for women to step up in their personal and business lives to make significant changes to the way things have been done up to now. We do not need to "make it in a man's world". Instead we need to bring our divine feminine intuition, our love and caring back into the work place. We need to create communities that care for each other.
