🌊 Deactivating X: A Conscious Choice for ChangeI finally got around to it today. For those who know me, you know I’m all about conscious consumerism—voting with our dollars and our actions. But let me confess, I’ve been dragging my feet on deleting my profile on X (formerly Twitter).Why? Well, the truth is, I didn’t have a huge following there. My content rarely gained traction. Yet, I was still there, holding space, hoping to amplify messages of inclusivity, conscious leadership, and empowerment for all—regardless of gender, orientation, race, culture, or ability.But here’s the thing: when your platform indirectly supports the very ideals you stand against, staying feels like complicity. Would I have left with millions of followers? Maybe not. Sometimes, staying can mean wielding influence for good. But when my impact there is so small, it’s an easy choice. Today, I chose not to lend my voice, energy, or presence to a platform that has become a breeding ground for hate and division.One small action? Perhaps. But as conscious leaders, small ripples matter. They’re the start of waves that reshape the shorelines of our values. 🌊Facebook? That’s a conversation for another day. 😉💬 What about you? Have you made similar choices in your digital life to align your actions with your impact? I’d love to hear how you’re navigating this as an entrepreneur, leader, or advocate for social change.#consciousleadership #MakeWaves #AmplifyImpact ... See MoreSee Less

What practices have you seen that your ethics would never allow you to adopt—even if they could provide you with a leg-up on the competition? I received an email saying:“YouMeWe has been shortlisted as one of the 'Top 10 Leadership Development Services Providers in Canada 2025.'”WOW. Me? My business? This is amazing! I mean, recognition for empowering women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders to amplify their impact—what an honor!Then came the fine print:“Your company will receive the top recognition reprint rights, including unique features such as profile reprints, recognition logo, a certificate, and a full-page ad space in our magazine, all for the low expense of $3,000 CAD…” (at least it was CAD 🙃)Oh, and a cherry on top: “Your company will receive quality inquiries from our subscribers and website visitors, as we will link its profile directly to its website.”As I read, a mix of disbelief and disappointment settled in.This wasn’t recognition. This was transactional validation. Pay to play.Sure, paying for acknowledgment might give my business a leg-up—a shiny badge of approval, an air of prestige, and maybe even more business. But here’s the kicker: it goes against my values.So, I replied, “Thanks, but paying for acknowledgment goes against my ethics. You can take me off your list. All my recognition is bestowed by others for my achievements, not because I paid for it.”This isn’t the first time my expertise and contributions have been recognized—by clients, peers, and organizations. BUT every time, it was genuine. It wasn’t bought. It was earned.But let’s be honest: in today’s world, unethical practices masquerading as “marketing opportunities” are rampant. Books that hit #1 on Amazon—for ten seconds—are branded “Best Sellers.” Awards are handed out, not for merit, but for money. These tactics could give you a boost, a headline, maybe even credibility.But at what cost? What practices have you seen that your ethics would never allow you to adopt—even if they could provide you with a leg-up?If you’re like me, you don’t just want to create impact—you want to do it consciously, authentically, and sustainably. That’s what makes us CONSCIOUS Leaders.Let’s start 2025 not with shortcuts, but with substance. With leadership rooted in values, not vanity.🌊 Ready to ride the wave of authentic impact?Share your experience or perspective below 👇—I’d love to hear what you won’t compromise on.

Calling all Associations, Companies, and Corporations. In 2024, I made a bold statement.I boycotted hashtag#InternationalWomensDay events where women speakers were expected to work for free. That post sparked a conversation—over 20,000 impressions on LinkedIn—and one thing became crystal clear:Empowerment without pay isn’t empowerment.Let’s be honest. Every Women’s Day, companies and organizations of all sizes preach about empowering women while asking women entrepreneurs, speakers, and leaders to share their expertise for free. The irony? The very women they want to spotlight end up being undervalued and disempowered.Here’s the thing: This script can change. And you can flip it.For hashtag#InternationalWomensDay 2025, here are 5 ways to ensure you’re truly empowering women this year:1️⃣ Hire women speakers and pay them fairly—no “exposure,” no “opportunity,” just real pay for real expertise.2️⃣ Sponsor women-owned businesses—collaborate with women entrepreneurs to provide visibility AND financial support.3️⃣ Invest in female-led nonprofits—offer grants, partnerships, or resources to accelerate their missions, especially nonprofits elevating women and girls (e.g., support your local shelter)4️⃣ Bring women vendors to your events—whether it’s catering, tech support, or event planning, hire women to supply services.5️⃣ Celebrate women in leadership—create a platform that not only showcases their achievements but compensates their time and effort. (YouMeWe Amplified podcast - podcast.youmewe.ca -has a wealth of wave-making women offer services while having a social impact! You can empower women AND support social impact with one decision.)It’s time to put money where your message is.When you hire a woman to inspire, teach, provide resources, or empower others, pay her for the value she brings.So this year, I’m still standing strong on this message: Empowerment through pay is real empowerment.Let’s flip the script.What action will YOU take to empower women this hashtag#InternationalWomensDay? (March 8th, by the way 🤗)Share, comment, and love if you agree if the time is NOW! --🌊Empowering Wave-Making Women 🏆 Award-winning Wave-Maker➡️ Follow for strategies to amplify your authentic voice 🎙️ & consciously lead 🧠 with inclusivity 🤝 and impact 🌍.🎤 Speaker 🎯Coach 💡 Trainer 📚 Author 🎧 Podcaster ✊ Advocate#EmpowerThruPay #ValueHerVoice #SheLeadsSheEarns #ConsciousLeadership ...
