Freedom of Mind

Siena mentions the importance of systerhood when tempted by our ego to have a go at others and prove them wrong. Support each other instead.

Viki: go into a meeting channeling your role model

Viki: identifying your access needs even if you don’t need it. The more your access need feels you’re a diva, the more you need it. Ask for it.

Viki mentions a triangle of work: soul, passion/development and bank balance. If the thing doesn’t fulfil two of the above you don’t do it. Otherwise plan, plan, plan. If not well mentally, go with someone else. Working out what it is you need in this situation, and planning it.

Samya: Young people’s voices and ideas are not always taken seriously - but there are moments when the message gets through and you’re holding people in power accountable. That’s really empowering. See @GretaThunberg for example. One person can make a difference.

Samya: saying no and having boundaries is important. You don’t have to do everything and say yes to everything. We don’t need to be busy to be successful.

Self-reflections and self-care is mentioned by Siena. Which quickly prompts a question about the support she is getting.

2. First barrier can be language and culture. But also feeling of not being good enough and comparing yourself with other people. #mentalhealth #women
