Spending is power. You have power. Women control 85% of the household spending (Forbes). You can shift the power play today, for Black Friday. As we're scrolling nervously through our favourite conglomerate-backed websites, Stop and think: You have power. Real power. You want a world where you have - where your daughter has the opportunity to work hard on an idea, and be funded? Give the power to your future investors. Buy women's created products. ✨ That B2B SaaS insurance: buy it from Sarah Wernér. ✨ That advanced skin product: get it from Lauren Murrell, not from high street shops. ✨ That lube? Get it from HANX created by Farah Kabir to slide through life. There's an analogy that blows my mind to understand the impact we all have. See the amount of people on the planet? That's 2 people, a couple, who made each one of us. So yes, the small choice you make today, has a huge impact on humanity. 🦋 And compounded, it's a butterfly effect. Buy their products. Invest in their businesses small amounts through crowdfunding!! Invest directly if you have deeper pockets. I'm preparing a list of the most incredible businesses and products to get for Xmas. Who should I add to distribute to my audience of 130k across socials? Tag your favourite founders and products 👇 Follow me Helene Guillaume Pabis for your daily dose of inspiration, and ♻️ share to have the maximum reach! Thanks Erin Gallagher who started the "Shift your Spend" movement! ps. you can enter your email (in my featured) if you want news when we raise, and sign up to my newsletter (in featured) to get the final list with all the discounts! 💲💲
What a wonderful reminder of the power we have to shape the world around us Helene! One purchase at a time. What are some of your go-to sources for discovering women-led businesses? I’d love to explore and support them year round too!
Helene Such a powerful message! It's incredible how a small change in our spending habits can have such a huge ripple effect. Supporting women-founded businesses isn’t just about buying products—it’s about investing in a future where female innovators get the recognition and resources they deserve. The butterfly effect is real, and each purchase can make a difference. Totally with you on shifting the power play! Can’t wait to see your list of amazing products—it’s going to be a game-changer for sure.
This is a wonderful perspective of powerplay.
I am obsessed with this!!! Parents / uncles / aunties of big sisters and tweens please check out the app EVERY woman wishes we had when we were younger (and multiply your cool factor by 1000 too) - luna 😆
Love this initiative - we can be and amplify the change through the ripple effect of small actions we individually take. I've personally recently bought food products from amazing female founded brands - SISTIR - Georgie Janion-Shaw Bold Bean Co | B Corp™ - Amelia Christie-Miller The Biskery - Saskia Roskam 🍪 and Lisa Shepherd
Helene Guillaume Pabis - love this and the list! Three other great ones are Telmi / Véronique Trang + xigxag / Kelli Fairbrother + Patricia Wing / SuLe 💪
Where you spend today shapes the opportunities of tomorrow.
Yes to women featuring and supporting women led businesses! And thanks for the shout out. You rock Helene Guillaume Pabis 🙌
Helene Love this powerful reframe of consumer choice as an investment in our shared future! You're right - every purchase is a vote for the kind of business world we want to see. What's fascinating is how these "small" choices compound. Each time we choose to support women founders, we're not just buying a product - we're funding future innovations.
