Revenge body and outfits are great, but they're usually telling me this one thing...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 55| 09 November 2024 Hey πŸ‘‹πŸΌ πŸ’ So, I'm wondering about a few things with this revenge body and outfit phenomenon. Rachel Kolisi reminded me of this issue this week. Or what the headlines and social media said about her, likening her dress she wore to a Prince William event to the one worn by the late Princess Di shortly after Charles announced he had been unfaithful. Now I don't know if it's true or not, about her wearing the dress as a revenge look, at least I...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 54| 02 November 2024 Hey famπŸ’ My very first article in Women on Business is about letting my lady leaders know that they don't have to carry the burden of hyper-masculinity at work. That they really can begin leading in their femininity, it's been proven good for business performance. I used to agree on 'be feminine at home, and be masculine at work'. Not anymore: at all times, lead with femininity, but lean into your masculinity when the moment calls for it. As a...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 53| 26 October 2024 5 minute read Yaaay! Fam, we are 1 year old!!! Last year, 28th October, I sent my first love-letter, wide eyed, just wanting to share my healing journey and help heal. 'If consistency had a name..', wrote one of my friends when I shared about the anniversary. And that was the intention. I've never really been one to start a thing and not finish it. I may take my time, go at my own pace, but I start what I'll finish. I thoroughly enjoyed writing...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 52 | 19 October 2024 4 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, Disclaimer: Content is of s***** harassment nature. It was at a meeting with lady leaders and executives that I cemented my need to address the female self-worth and value in the workplace. There were a couple of things mentioned that made the hairs on my back stand. One was the phenomenon of the 'office couch'. You know what that is? Making fun and laughing about things is how we cope with painful thoughts and...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 51 | 12 October 2024 6 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, Let's get right into it. Using the example of emotional dysregulation, something I struggled with and healing from, let's look at what walking in healing looks like: 1. Self-awareness & Self-acceptance: Spoke about self-awareness at length in a previous newsletter. Briefly: We need to get to a place of being aware of what our issues are, what we're battling with. Not only that, but an idea about why you have been...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 50| 05 October 2024 5 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, I know I'm always going on and on about us needing to heal. In our hearts and minds, that is. The mind governs everything in the body, and so what's the point to life if we can't work properly and prove our Maker right? We've ALL been hurt or traumatised one way or another by something or another. The thing about mental dis-ease (not disease/illness, which is at the extreme end of the spectrum), unlike physical...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 49 | 28 September 2024 5 minute read Hey darling πŸ’, Soooo, the weekend that was. Where's my tea? Let me sip it and spill it!πŸ«–β˜•οΈ. Ok, just kidding. I did enjoy a lovely, and all in all impactful and fruitful weekend with my ladies over the weekend. Hot tea galore, laughter galore, eating galore, pretty meter over the charts. And the traditional end to the weekend of eating pap and the works from the same plate.πŸ½οΈπŸ˜‹ We managed to grab the last hour of the Delicious...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 47 14 September 2024 4 minute read Well, you DON'T! And you shouldn't try. It's a losing battle. Hey πŸ‘‹πŸΌ! In the past week I've had 3 ladies ask me about or expressed their frustration on the lack of balance in their lives. 'How do I/you keep balance in my/your life?' A question that I'm getting increasingly asked by busy and high achieving women, and I love it because the answer is easy and complicated at the same time! It starts with us defining what balance is,...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 46| 07 September 2024 4 minute read Hey πŸ‘‹, It’s September and spring has officially sprung! We, Mzansians (is that even a word?πŸ˜ƒ), are gearing up to celebrate Heritage Day on 24 September. Celebrations will be galore, honouring our origins, histories and victories as part of a cultural, ethnic or racial collective. We'll be adorning ourselves with beautiful traditional attires to celebrate our diversity as well. Whilst the wors is β€˜worsing’and the potjiekos is...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Issue # 45 | 31 August 2024 4 minute read Hey πŸ‘‹, On 'Ask a Man' one time this week, when asked, this guy says money-wise, he's an 8 out of 10, in other areas he's a 4 out of 10. Many people struggle with low levels of self-esteem, no matter how accomplished they are or how much money they have. This 4 out of ten'er' reminds us it's a deeper inner issue. If you think about, and if you've been following my newsletters, you'd know the root reason why they super-achieve and...
