Inspiring Quotes
Rather than listing some inspiring quotes, I wanted to share this lovely quote that a friend left on the blog:
‘Love this and love all you ladies, your optimism and enthusiasm is infectious. It’s great to read (and see) what can be achieved with hard work, inner belief and amazing support even if sometimes it seems a massive juggle’
How To Become A Better Version Of You
We asked you to stop selling yourself short and to stop self-deprecating. Own your achievements, stand tall. 
💖
Nurture Your Network. Networking can be scary but it’s really important that you do it. There’s a hidden job market out there filled with people who network. Get talking. 💖
Stop. Pause. Re-Boot. Often, life takes over and we forget about ourselves. Take some time this week to do something for yourself. 💖
Awesome Interviews

New On The Blog
Exercise, well-being and nutrition are so important to us and often we forget to look after ourselves. If you’re a writer/blogger in these areas, we’d love to work with you – email me at lou@womanready.com.
Big Thank-You
As always, we are hugely grateful to you all for reading, sharing and liking our content. Please keep doing it. Share icons are to the left.
And thank you to everyone who has contributed.
Workplace stress nowadays is a bigger problem than in the past because it’s so much easier to drum up drama and turmoil. Online social networking has made it easier for people to prey on others by using anonymity, and sometimes the boundaries of work and personal life can blur.
