97. IWD 2026 Special - How Do We Actually Balance the Scales?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
March is a month that amplifies and highlights women's leadership normally kick starting with International Women's Day on 8th March. The theme this year is Balance the Scales, a message that speaks to the hope of a society where women and girls are safe, heard and able to shape their own futures.
In this episode I'm exploring this year’s theme and asking a question that sits beneath the slogan. What does it actually look like to balance the scales in the world we are living in today?
I reflect on the deeper work required if we want fairness, dignity and opportunity to be a reality for all women.
In this episode we explore:
• Why conversations about women’s advancement often overlook race and cultural context
• The difference between equality and equity and why that distinction matters
• The representation gaps that still appear in major International Women’s Day events
• What organisers of these events could consider if they genuinely want to broaden the conversation
• How online business owners can contribute to shifting culture through the spaces they lead.
If you are someone who cares about leadership, representation and creating environments where more voices are heard, I hope this conversation gives you something meaningful to reflect on.
