Join me as we brew our favourite tea together in this short Tea Meditation for IWD.
It’s critical that we step into our own strength and lift each other up every day … not just on one day of the year.
✨ Forget One Day—Accelerate Action Every Day 🍵 🧘
For many, #IWD hits differently this year.
We've watched institutions applauded when their cultures hold women back.
We've witnessed women asked to work for free—again.
We’ve seen the wrong people praised—those who don’t actually lift women up.
And let’s be real… what’s today going to change? Absolutely nothing.
Unless we make sure it does.
Economic Power = Real Change
Women don’t lack innovation, drive, or ambition. But they do lack an enterprise ecosystem designed to support them.
✨ Women make up 51% of the population—yet only 20% of businesses in Scotland are women-led.
✨ If we doubled the number of women-led businesses, we’d add £8.8bn to the economy.
✨ The cost-of-living crisis, childcare struggles, and systemic barriers are pushing women out of business—before they even get a chance to grow.
That’s a leaky pipe we need to fix.
So instead of celebrating one day, let’s commit to backing women—every day:
✨ Promote women-led businesses. Actively shout about the women you work with, whether employed or self-employed.
✨ Fund women properly. Money isn’t just power—it’s impact. When women thrive, whole communities do.
✨ Hold institutions accountable. Stop applauding performative action and demand real change.
✨ Stop blocking women from opportunities. Lift each other up instead.
Start with presence. Start with power.
Before we step forward, we pause. We reflect. We own our strength.
🍵 🧘 I hope you enjoy this short Tea Meditation to re-centre, refocus, and step into action.
Because the best way to fight back is to keep flowing—together.
