    When Life Gets Heavy But You Still Have To Show Up: For The Women Holding It Together While Everything Is Changing.

    If you’re carrying more than anyone sees — this one’s for you. Some conversations aren’t strategic. They’re necessary. This week’s podcast episode wasn’t planned. It wasn’t polished. It was real. This One’s For The Girls… We talked about what happens when life gets heavy and you still have to show up— for your kids, your team, your parents, your work, your front-row sisters, your people. Caregiving. Dementia. Cancer. Parenting. Leadership. The invisible mental load so many women are carrying quietly. We laughed about coping mechanisms that look small on the outside— distraction, organizing, rage cleaning, controlling what we can— because sometimes that’s the only way to stay upright. But underneath the humor was the truth: Hard seasons don’t ask for permission. And fixers struggle the most when there’s nothing to fix. This episode is for the leaders who are holding it together in public while navigating change, grief, or responsibility in private. If you’re in a season where you’re doing the work and carrying the weight—you’re not alone. And if this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. We don’t get through hard things by pretending they aren’t hard. We get through them together. 📺 Watch on YouTube or🎙️Listen on Apple, Spotify, Amazon or any of your other favourite streaming apps.  Drop a ❤️ if you’re choosing to keep going — even when it’s hard. 👉🏻 Don’t forget to subscribe and join The Front-Row Sister™ Community for more real conversations like this. #Leadership #Caregiving #WomenInBusiness #MentalLoad #Resilience #Grief #DementiaAwareness #CancerSupport #WomenSupportingWomen #IAmUnbreakable

    One Eyebrow. Zero Excuses

    🚨One Eyebrow. Zero Excuses. Ever had a bad eyebrow day ruin your confidence? Perfection is boring. Imperfections make you relatable, human, and unforgettable.  Authenticity isn’t about being flawless. It’s about owning the flaws, laughing and showing up anyway — real and unfiltered. I remember a very, very long time ago, when I would have avoided being on camera or even showing up in public to avoid being judged. But now, lol, no way, I wear this loud and proud.  Business and life don’t play fair. But how you react? That’s 100% in your control. You can’t stop the curveballs. You can choose whether they break you—or build you. I believe there comes a point in our lives where we’re just OK with being human. The real power move? Turning our imperfections into punchlines. Personally, for me laughter is so contagious. Let’s normalize hiccups, bumps in the road and what others may see as flaws! Perfection is boring. Imperfections make you relatable, human, and unforgettable. In this episode, Chris and I kill ourselves laughing with my eyebrow mishap. We chat about moving forward regardless of the outside influences and the importance of showing up to slaying our day authentically —wedding, photoshoot, podcast and all. Spoiler: perfection took a backseat, and authenticity showed up front. From grooming rituals to food quirks, this talk is about owning your weird, shedding the shame, and finding strength in glitches—not gloss. And most importantly, performance over perfection every time! Smash that LIKE if you believe imperfection is your superpower.
