How're you holding up?
2020 was a lot and 2021 seems like the right time for a fresh look and feel, don't you think?
We're excited to be back this year, with more announcements coming very soon. For now though, we're proud to share our new look with you!

Siena mentions the importance of systerhood when tempted by our ego to have a go at others and prove them wrong. Support each other instead.

Viki: go into a meeting channeling your role model

[Syl Korsak *Digital Wellbeing Liberation* @sylkorsak]

Viki: identifying your access needs even if you don’t need it. The more your access need feels you’re a diva, the more you need it. Ask for it.

[Syl Korsak *Digital Wellbeing Liberation* @sylkorsak]

Viki mentions a triangle of work: soul, passion/development and bank balance. If the thing doesn’t fulfil two of the above you don’t do it. Otherwise plan, plan, plan. If not well mentally, go with someone else. Working out what it is you need in this situation, and planning it.

[Syl Korsak *Digital Wellbeing Liberation* @sylkorsak]

Samya: Young people’s voices and ideas are not always taken seriously - but there are moments when the message gets through and you’re holding people in power accountable. That’s really empowering. See @GretaThunberg for example. One person can make a difference.

[Syl Korsak *Digital Wellbeing Liberation* @sylkorsak]

Samya: saying no and having boundaries is important. You don’t have to do everything and say yes to everything. We don’t need to be busy to be successful.

[Syl Korsak *Digital Wellbeing Liberation* @sylkorsak]

Self-reflections and self-care is mentioned by Siena. Which quickly prompts a question about the support she is getting.

2. First barrier can be language and culture. But also feeling of not being good enough and comparing yourself with other people. #mentalhealth #women
