As you know, each week, I invite you to sit in on a conversation with a new guest, where WE GET LEVEL, bringing you real people, real issues, real conversations. My hope is you walk away from the show inspired and equipped to level up in your own life and leadership.
Well there’s a twist to this week’s episode.
As many of you know, last week I had to step away from everything, a week to “Rest, Reflect and Restore”. During this period of time, I have come to some realizations, ideas, and breakthroughs and I thought no better way than to share them with you – my loyal listeners – on an episode of the show. So, here we go – The Mindful Project my lessons and learnings from week 1.

Today I’ve got a special treat for you. Today’s guest is a very special person – my sister, Lucy Reid. She is so many things! A Director at a tech firm, a bone marrow-transplant THRIVER, and a mum – a role I know she treasures more than anything.
I chose this topic to get real about because it’s necessary for us to be more open about the unbalanced impact that COVID is having on working moms.
I’ll share some of the research, we’ll swap stories, talk about what’s working for us (and what’s not), and discuss what leadership & workplaces can do to step it up so we don’t wipe out the gender equity progress we’ve been making in our workplaces.
Check out the McKinsey/LeanIn Women in the Workplace Report which inspired this raw and candid conversation. And I challenge you to keep the conversation going!
