Bracing for the Next Hard Thing? Same.
Lately, I’ve been noticing something about myself — maybe you can relate.
I’ve been bracing. For the next crisis. The next global event. The next political headline. The next values trespass.
And honestly? There’s a lot to brace for out there.
At the Women’s Leadership Intensive, we talk about all of that. We hold space for the hard and the real. But in the midst of it all, something beautiful keeps happening on our team too:
In between the serious conversations…
We keep sending each other funny videos.
We keep showing up.
We keep finding joy in the cracks.
In this week’s Unsubscribe video, I talk about the quiet tension so many of us are holding — and what it might look like to soften instead.
Not collapse. Not give up.
But to gently, intentionally unhook from the constant pressure to stay armoured or go numb.
This softening — it’s not weakness. It’s wisdom. It’s leadership.
It’s how we stay human.
Let’s keep finding ways to care for ourselves and each other — with laughter, truth, and rest.
With care,
Belinda & the WLI Team
