Women in many Western societies are conditioned to:
- Be grateful
- Know their place
- Be patient
- Take what's offered
- Seek validation

These messages shape careers, leadership journeys, and confidence levels. They influence how women negotiate, advocate for themselves, and take up space in the world. I think conditioning can be unlearned. Boldness can be built and systems can be challenged. This month, beyond celebrating achievements, let’s also reflect on what still needs to change. Let’s empower, uplift, and dismantle the barriers, both internal and external.

Send me an e-mail and let me know which one piece of conditioning you have had to unlearn.
