I'm a trend and data junkie, so it was fun to read this report by Yelp on the #sheconomy. Here's what caught my eye: Women-owned businesses are experiencing significant growth, with a 17% increase in new openings compared to 2022 (is it time to open up my beachside coffee shop/bakery?) Consumer interest in women-owned businesses is surging. Austin saw a 34% rise in women owned-businesses last year (turns out, it IS Texas! IYKYK) Micro-trends are the mainstage - we're prioritizing health, hydration and wellness. If you're a business supporting women, do some research to see if your products fit current trends and align your SEO accordingly. My female business friends have been saying this for years, and Yelp is backing it up - the #sheconomy is more than just a passing fad; it's a force to be reckoned with. I want to know - is there a trend you got swept up in last year? Tomatogirl? Barbiecore? Coastalgrandma? What am I missing? #trending #growtheconomy #dataanalytics #seostrategy https://data.yelp.com

This #internationalwomensday we’re celebrating the women at Movember who are making waves in men’s health. Meet Bonnie Rowe, our Global Director of Young Men’s Health. 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐢𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫? We’re joining forces with partners and young men around the world to support good mental health and less mental ill-health. We're setting our sights on boosting the mental wellbeing of these young men, helping them deal with the pressures of growing up and giving them tools to better cope with all the stuff that is going on for them. There's lots of confusion out there at the moment - it's a lot to navigate!    𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫? I’m ready to make waves and shake things up. With a strong foundation of research, planning, strategising & delivery we're ready to take action. The rubber is hitting the road, delivering programs and projects in sports, esports, gaming and online that will really make a difference for young men in our communities. I think that’s pretty damn cool.     𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫? This Movember, I'm going full throttle for men's health. My plans? Running 60km, hitting the pool, or maybe even getting inked with a fresh tattoo. And who knows? My sons might just have some even wilder ideas up their sleeves. 

These stats hit hard—and they're all too familiar, aren't they? When I read stats like these, I feel seen and understood, but also incredibly frustrated. It’s the same story on repeat: - The % of perpetrators never convicted - The # of women aiming for promotions but never getting them - The women who die in car crashes because seatbelts weren’t designed with them in mind. And the beat goes on. When I met Ash G. back in June, right after taking a huge leap into an uncertain future, I knew our paths were meant to cross. Ash had just founded a community with a mission to tackle stats like these, and I knew I had to be part of it! So, I joined as a founding member. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐬 is an exclusive, purpose-driven community for female changemakers. It offers curated resources, meaningful connections, and support across work, relationships, health, and wellness. Rooted in a beautiful, and possible future: A world where women’s collective power reshapes leadership and drives systemic change, amplifying voices, and creating a more inclusive and prosperous society. Its mission, to empower every woman to see herself as a changemaker—through authenticity, courage, and collaboration. Powerful, right? If this speaks to you, DM me, and I’ll share more. I’m thrilled to be part of this movement alongside the incredible women I’ve met so far and oh-so-excited to be sharing it with you too for the first time. More to come. ==== 📅 𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘦!
