Introducing and Celebrating Helpful Hagir. ❤️

Coming off the back of National Eliminate Nuclear Weapons Day, I wanted to celebrate a woman who has spent her life standing up for people and putting service into action.

7,500+ NHS volunteer tasks.

And that is just one part of her story.

From her work with Age UK and the Royal Voluntary Service, to supporting vulnerable communities, refugees and survivors of Grenfell, Hagir has built a remarkable legacy of service.

She has been recognised as a Royal Jubilee Platinum Champion, honoured for her humanitarian work, and named Humanitarian of the Year at the World Leaders Summit.

She has stood alongside world leaders, addressed international audiences and even met King Charles.

But perhaps the thing I admire most is her relentlessness.

She keeps showing up.

Keeps helping.

Keeps using her voice.

Helpful Hagir is proof that one person can create an extraordinary ripple simply by refusing to stop caring.

What a woman.
What a legacy.
And what an inspiration. ❤️

Give Life. Don’t Take Life.
1 Luv ❤️ One Blood.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I use my voice, my platform and the opportunities I’ve been given.

And I’ve decided it’s time to use them for something bigger than myself.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve connected with women whose courage, compassion and commitment to others have genuinely inspired me.

Women fighting for human rights. Women standing up for peace. Women protecting communities. Women doing the vital groundwork that too often goes unseen.

This week, I’ll be sharing their stories and introducing you to some of the incredible women who have inspired this next chapter.

I’m also calling in Women Against War.

Women from all over the world. Women with power, influence, reach and resources who want to use them to amplify the women already doing the work on the ground.

Because meaningful change needs more than awareness.

It needs connection. Collaboration. Courage. And action.

Peace needs more voices. Peace needs more perspectives. Peace needs women in the room.

This is about using our collective influence to elevate the women creating change in their communities and beyond.

If you’re a woman with a platform, influence or a story to share, I want to hear from you.

Let’s connect the women with influence to the women doing the work.

GIVE LIFE. DON’T TAKE LIFE. 
One Luv, One Blood 🤍

Put on some 90s dance music.

YES…Seriously.

Not because it’ll solve your problems.

Because I believe we all have songs that instantly take us back to who we were before life got so serious.

Before corporate.
Before the promotions.
Before everyone expected us to have our s**t together.

And way before we started introducing ourselves with our job title.l 🫣

That version of you wasn’t worrying about whether it was hormones, a midlife wobble or if she’d completely lost herself.

She trusted her gut.
She trusted herself.

And she made decisions based on feeling not thinking.

She’s still there now.

Buried under years of responsibility, deadlines and everyone else’s expectations.

Go and find her.

She’ll know what to do.

Drop the one track that takes you straight back in the comments. 

You might just spark a memory for someone else.

I’ll go first…

One of the challenges for me as an entrepreneur wasn’t the learning or the juggling …

It was the different environment.

For years I’d associated productivity with noise.

People chatting.

Phones ringing.

Meetings upon meetings.

Radio on.

Problems to solve.

A diverse team to manage.

Then suddenly...

None of it.

My brain suddenly became very loud

and at first I did not like it one bit

That level of self awareness is hugely confronting!

Hearing the noise in my own head was a little disturbing to be honest.

But in time, I realised having space to think actually creates more opportunities and allows for new ideas to evolve

As well as personal growth that corporate careers leave no time for.

Would this side of entrepreneurship put you off or give you a sense of empowerment?

It’s not for everyone but it’s worth exploring your options.

People assume ambitious women only care about money.

That’s not true.

Most of us care about building a life we can be proud of.

But perhaps that pride just sits in the wrong column,

Because society told us success looks expensive.

So we just started measuring life by the wrong things.

Material things and possessions that have a big price tag.

Which means the promotions and pay rises become the focus of our ambition.

And all of that comes at an even bigger cost.

Each one felt like proof that we were moving forwards.

And for a while, we kind of were.

But it was all part of the distraction

I’ve spent most of my life being ambitious.
I don’t actually regret that.

Ambition has given me experiences, resilience and opportunities.

What I do regret is believing the external validation was relevant to that level of ambition.

It’s not.

I didn’t need more things…

I needed to consciously create space for relationships, my health and my own happiness, once I knew what that meant.

Ambition will give us all those things too if we allow it to.

We don’t see it at first because we are chasing a version of success we don’t stop to question.

Until we do.

Now, at 47, success looks very different to me.

I’m still ambitious.
Probably more than ever.

But my ambition has changed direction.

I’m no longer interested in building a life that looks successful to the world.

I’m interested in building one that feels successful to me.

One where time isn’t something I constantly feel short of.

One where my experience works for me, not just for someone else.

One where I don’t have to wait until retirement to feel like I’m finally living.

Because the older I get, the more I realise success isn’t measured by what you accumulated.

It’s measured by how much of your life you were actually present for.

If you think Part 1 was unhinged…

Here is Part 2.

Looking back now, it’s mad what becomes ‘normal’ when you’re climbing the corporate ladder.

You stop questioning things.
You tell yourself, That’s just how this industry is.

You laugh it off.
You carry on.

Until one day you step back and realise…

None of it was actually ok.

The longer I’ve been away from that world, the more I’ve realised how much absurdity I accepted.

This is another story from the vault and it’s still quite tame compared to what happens next !

No exaggeration.
No creative licence.

Just one more ‘what the f**k’ moment that opened my naive eyes 👀

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve experienced in a ‘so-called’ professional environment ?

One of the biggest lies we’re sold is that changing direction means starting again.

It doesn’t.

You don’t lose 20 years of leadership, commercial thinking, resilience, judgement and experience because you decide to leave a company.

Those skills are yours.

The real shift is realising they don’t have to be rented out to the highest bidder for the rest of your life.

Maybe the next chapter isn’t about climbing another corporate ladder.

Maybe it’s about making everything you’ve already learnt work for you instead.

I had to get honest about the cost of my career.

After years of focusing on what it was giving me, I hadn’t once stopped to consider what it was taking.

In a short space of time, my morals were tested and burn out started to take hold.

I suddenly felt out of alignment.

School, college, my upbringing and that corporate career had taught me how to work hard.

>How to lead.
>How to solve problems.
>How to hold pressure.
>How to communicate.
>How to make decisions.
>How to keep going when things got uncomfortable.

So I went looking for a structure that could help me utilise all of those things for my own benefit.

Something I could build around my life instead of sacrificing my life to maintain it.

That’s why I’m so passionate about supporting women on their transition from corporate to seeing the light and believing in themselves again…

Because I know how hard that part is, after years of abandoniing myself for what I thought was the only measure of success.

If any part of what I’m saying resonates, we should definitely chat.

DM INFO to get the conversation started and I’ll share some insight.

I think this is one of the hardest things to explain to women who’ve only ever known work through one lens.

It’s not about doing nothing - although I’ve realised that’s also allowed (and necessary).

It’s the mental freedom I’m talking about here.

Space to think and most importantly space to be present.

There is a relief in knowing your day belongs to you.

And I won’t ever give my time or decisions away again for a salary.

Our time is more precious than money, yet we chase money and don’t protect the real commodity.

With a business that’s structured to automate processes and leverage time..

You can move things around.
You can protect your energy.
You can work when your brain is on board.

You can stop asking permission to book a holiday. Because you can take it with you if you need to!

Once you realise the potential, the idea that you are structuring your whole life around someone else’s dreams starts to feel very odd.

Especially when that someone else takes you for granted while you bend over backwards.

With a shift in perspective, that salary they pay you can help you build a business on the side until the results enable you to walk out.

There are so many options for a woman with your experience and expertise…

You just need to see what I see.
