MY HEART WIDE OPEN

No one tells you how much it will hurt! How watching your once-strong parents grow weak will shatter something deep inside you. How their...

How trust, empathy, and great leadership shaped my career We talk a lot about the obstacles women face at work. The biological clock. The invisible load at home. The guilt. The constant negotiation between ambition and responsibility. All of that is real.

A mother, a daughter, and a lifetime of free advice we never asked for Haven’t people heard of “don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house?” Or maybe — “if you can’t say something nice, just chew your food quietly?” I was back in my hometown recently, and before every meeting with anyone - relatives, neighbours, friends of my parents - I kept warning my 15-year-old daughter.“ People will say things,” I told her. “About how you look, how you have grown, what you are weari
