The light in leadership....

I have learned that leadership isn’t about who is the loudest, boldest, smartest most innovative or strategic. I tis about showing up as your whole self, heart, voice and truth.

For me the AND is the heartline, it is the leadership that is about connection, compassion and authenticity.  It is not always about strategy or hierarchy, but from a deep sense of why it matters.

Real Antidotes to Imposter Syndrome

How many times have you said, β€œFake it till you make it”?
Or heard another capable, accomplished, high-achieving woman say it with a half-laugh β€”
β€œI’m just faking it until I make it.”

It’s become part of our cultural script. A shorthand for courage, maybe. A shield.
But let’s be honest β€” it’s also a symptom.

They weren’t just sinking into my mind; they were landing on my heart.
Then it hit me: β€œYou are always negotiable Fallon, time to start being non-negotiable.”

The Story Beneath the Sigh: Reclaiming Eeyore

I look nothing like Eeyore, if anything I probably vibe more with Winnie the Pooh, but with pants on.

There have been a few moments in my life where I have been told I was Eeyore, or I was acting like Eeyore.  Now the nickname  has been spoken half in jest, maybe in concern and sometimes in annoyance. But it always lands the same way: as if my heaviness makes me  the gloomy donkey of the story.

The Love That Shows Up

There is a quiet kind of love that doesn’t wait to be asked. It simply arrives. Arms open, kettle on, phone call made. It’s the love that holds the centre when everything else feels like it’s falling apart. It’s not flashy. It’s not Instagrammable.
