This month, I had the joy of attending not one but two deeply uplifting events that reminded me why I do what I do.
The first was a keynote and book signing for my book Rising to Feminine Power: The Lasso of Truth with participants of Judo Bank’s inaugural Women in Leadership Program, Bank on Her. What an inspiring group of women – curious, courageous, and ready to lead with authenticity and heart.
Then last night, I attended Generation Women, a beautiful storytelling event supported by Judo Bank, where women from their twenties through to their eighties shared raw, moving stories about power, purpose, and perseverance.
One storyteller reflected,
“Some people inherit power through comfort rather than courage,”
a line that resonated deeply throughout the room. Another woman, now in her fifties, spoke about the challenge of balancing family and career earlier in her life, and the resilience and wisdom that came from those experiences.
And the remarkable Octogenarian, an Order of Australia recipient, shared her realisation that once she finally understood she had power, she discovered how much joy – and fun – there was in using it.
Both events left me profoundly inspired. When women share their stories, we don’t just uplift one another, we expand what’s possible for everyone. 💫
💬 I believe there’s real power in talking about power.
So let’s keep having these conversations – with our teams, our friends, our families – about what power means, how we use it, and how we can redefine it together.
A heartfelt thank you to Stephanie Brazzale and her team at Judo Bank, Aliki Stathopoulos, Lisa and Dr Marcele De Sanctis from Future Leadership, and Donna Logue from Generations Women for these incredible programs. It was truly a privilege to be part of it. 🙏
