“I think the first challenge women have is within themselves. Many women are afraid to step up and believe in themselves. I therefore choose to challenge women first; to look inwards and decide what work would really fulfill them and then lean into that with conviction.
We live in an age where we can completely redefine what our work/life balance can look like if we are unapologetically brave enough to challenge ourselves. Only when we find that voice can we look to then make change in the workforce and in society.
