"So often now, women are told how they should act in order to be successful. There’s a whole narrative out there — loud, polished, and ever-present — telling us that we need to wake up at 5am, drink lemon water, meditate for exactly 30 minutes, journal about our deepest desires, recite affirmations about how unstoppable and brilliant we are, go for a run, and somehow still be at our desks by 8am, ready to conquer the world.⁠
⁠
And sure — those things can be beautiful, nourishing practices. But the truth is: it’s rarely that easy. Especially if you’re a woman running a business while also navigating the very real, very relentless demands of everyday life. Because let’s be honest — women who run businesses are not just running businesses."⁠

Only 5.8% of UK investments flow into women-led companies.
This means more than 9 out of 10 venture capital pounds are directed toward male-led businesses. The cost of this imbalance? Billions in lost innovation and untapped economic growth.

Women-led ventures are consistently proven to deliver strong returns, foster more diverse teams, and drive innovation that reflects society more accurately. And yet, the ecosystem has been slow to respond.

👉 This isn’t just about equality. It’s about economics. Closing the funding gap could unlock extraordinary value, not just for women founders, but for investors, industries, and society at large.

Backing women in business isn’t charity. It’s strategy

Some of the most meaningful friendships are the ones that start with an intro in a boardroom and evolve into coffee catch up brainstorms, shared visions, and real-life support. It’s wild how genuine connections can grow organically out of business, when energy aligns, ambition matches, and authenticity leads the way. Here’s to friendships that were never forced, just fated

Energy is everything, it’s in our words, our presence, our intentions. Tuesday’s Inner Circle lunch with was a beautiful reminder of that. The way we spoke about energy wasn’t just conversation, it was connection, vibration, alignment.

From exploring how we witness our experience in life to understanding the quiet power of how we show up in every room, every moment felt magnetic, grounded, and divine. Here’s to more tables where energy speaks louder than words and souls meet beyond the surface.

Recent figures reveal that just 22% of UK mid-market CEOs and MDs are women — a sharp fall from 30% the year before.⁠
⁠
This decline reminds us that progress is fragile. Representation cannot be assumed; it must be nurtured through policy, culture, and conscious leadership.⁠
⁠
Why does it matter? Because gender-diverse leadership teams outperform in profitability, retention, and innovation. Companies thrive when women are at the table — not as tokens, but as decision-makers shaping strategy.⁠
The risk of inaction is clear: losing ground on equality costs not only women, but the businesses and economies that depend on inclusive leadership to thrive.⁠
⁠
The solution? Intentionality. From mentorship and sponsorship to boardroom accountability, progress only holds if it is deliberately protected.⁠

"You’ve built something brilliant. You’ve got a great reputation, your clients love you, sales are steady, and you’ve got plans… BIG plans. So why does it still feel so bloody hard? ⁠
⁠
I know that progress can feel slow — like you’re taking two steps forward only to take one step back. And time and time again, I see brilliant female founders feeling frustrated and exhausted. Growth feels like an uphill slog."⁠

57% of women entrepreneurs in the UK say lack of financial confidence is their greatest barrier. 39% say funding feels out of reach.⁠
This narrative is not about women being “risk-averse.” It’s about structures that fail to educate, empower, and equip women to step into financial authority with ease.⁠
⁠
When capital flows, confidence grows. When networks support, ideas flourish. When women are funded, businesses thrive.⁠
⁠
The cycle is clear: lack of funding ➝ slower growth ➝ fewer role models ➝ repeat. Breaking it means creating ecosystems where women are not only welcomed but actively championed. The story of women in business is not one of deficit. It’s one of untapped abundance

Today we honour the extraordinary legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall, a woman who embodied excellence, fearlessness, and purpose at every stage of her journey.

A true pioneer, she dared to step into the unknown, transforming not only our understanding of the natural world but also redefining what it means to lead with vision and conviction. Dr. Goodall was not just a scientist; she was a trailblazer, a woman who shattered ceilings, and a living testament to the power of curiosity, compassion, and unshakable resilience.

Her work and her presence will forever remind us that women of excellence do not wait for permission — they create pathways, ignite movements, and leave an imprint so profound it cannot be erased.

Dr. Goodall’s story is one of courage, leadership, and grace — the kind that transcends disciplines and generations. She proved that the pursuit of purpose is the highest form of power.

Her light continues to inspire women everywhere to stand taller, dream bigger, and lead unapologetically.

Rest in power, Dr. Jane Goodall. Your legacy is eternal.

Only 18% of high-growth UK enterprises include a female founder.

High-growth businesses define the future — they attract capital, scale innovations, and shape the workforce of tomorrow. If women are absent from this space, the future is built on half the talent, half the vision, and half the potential it could be.

The barriers to scaling are real: unequal access to funding, networks dominated by male founders, and cultural narratives that discourage women from “thinking big.”

But when women do lead high-growth ventures, they bring fresh models of success: businesses rooted in purpose, culture, and long-term resilience.

The challenge is not women’s capability to scale. It’s ensuring the system allows them to rise.
