A third of Australian women no longer want leadership roles.

Good.

Not because leadership doesn't matter it does, desperately, but when you pop the bonnet and look at what's underneath that stat, it's a woman who has done the maths.

Promoted at half the rate of men. A pay gap that widens the higher you climb. Confidence levels higher than male colleagues (yes you read that right) and still being passed over.

Opting out isn't a failure of ambition, it's a rational response to an irrational system.

The women I work with who are opting out aren't giving up, they're recalibrating. Redirecting their energy toward work, leadership and lives that actually return what they put in.

Staying because it's safe is a choice made from depletion. Redesigning is a choice made from clarity.

Your choice is your superpower (my favourite piece of advice!)

ForbesWomen just released its 2026 list of America's richest self-made women.

43 billionaires. Yeeha!

Beyoncé is one of them and her story is worth telling properly.

An industry that told her Lemonade was too Black, too political, too much. A Super Bowl performance that became the most watched in history. A tour that grossed over $450 million. A business empire built across music, film, fashion and beauty entirely on her own terms.

She didn't wait for permission. She built the permission.

Then there's Daniela Amodei co-founder and President of Anthropic, one of the most important AI companies in the world. The reason, many would argue, that AI safety is being taken seriously at all. Not the frontman. The foundation.

And Melanie Perkins who built Canva from a spare bedroom in Perth into a $49 billion company. One of the most powerful women in global tech. Australian. Quietly changing how the world creates.

Here's what I notice about all of them.

They didn't succeed because the system finally worked for them.
They succeeded because at some point they stopped waiting for it to.

That decision, to stop waiting is the beginning of every second chapter I've ever worked with.

You don't need a gazillion dollars for it to matter.

You just need to make the decision.

I developed an irrational fear of flying somewhere in my forties.

Out of nowhere.

It sounds unrelated to confidence. But it isn’t.

It’s the same mechanism. Fear finding new surfaces to attach itself to. Shrinking the available world by degrees, so gradually you don’t notice, until the world is quite small indeed.

Episode 2 of The Midlife Power Shift is about this.

Why capable, experienced women find themselves less confident at 45 than they were at 25.

Why imposter syndrome was never your syndrome to fix.
And what reclaiming your authority in midlife actually looks like not in theory, but in practice.

The self-doubt you’ve been managing?

It didn’t start with you.
It was handed to you, carefully and consistently, by a world that had a very specific idea about how much space you should take up.

This episode is about seeing that clearly.
And deciding which rules you’re done letting run the show.

Some rules don't look like rules.

They look like just the way things are.

The way you stay too long. Ask for too little. Put yourself last and call it being a good woman.

I've been pulling apart six of the most common ones, the rules most women are running without realising it. Across relationships, health, money, career, identity and taking up space in the world.

None of them were written for you.

But chances are you're still living by at least one.

Full piece on the blog. Link below 👇🏻

The places you're holding yourself back probably aren't personal failings. They're installed behaviours, rules you inherited before you could question them. Time to look at them honestly.

It’s live. 🎧 The Midlife Power Shift podcast

Episode 1 dropped today!

The Rules You Didn’t Write And Why You’re Still Living By Them.

This one is about the invisible operating system most women are running.

The rules about how much space you’re allowed to take up. How ambitious you’re permitted to be. How loudly you can speak. How much you’re allowed to want at this age, in this body, right now.

You didn’t write those rules.

But you’re probably still living by them.
That’s what this podcast is here to change.
Not with inspiration. With honesty.
