Why Women’s online magazine?

When I started working upon the idea of Womenlines as a media hub where all content published will be around leadership, business, and health excellence of women many people questioned me, why?

I just said one word, we deserve better media!

12 years plus entrepreneurial journey without a business degree was much based on self-taught skills through digital media. What helped me was the knowledge gained by following certain digital content to empower myself.

I have always believed that every woman on this planet is blessed with some amazing power, which she can only use if she is empowered with the right mindset and knowledge. Media hub should be there publishing that knowledge which can help her to discover that power, to sharpen that power and to use that power fully by living a physically and mentally fit life. Normally media is reporting mostly about fashion, beauty products, cooking tips etc but we are more than that I suppose. Knowledge about so many life skills which can really help us to live life better, manage time better, manage our emotions and health better should be reaching to womenfolk.

Womenlines world is all about promoting excellence in women! Our vision is –



Shaping physically and mentally healthy women who are professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs, across the globe, to live a better version of self while contributing towards making our planet a better place to live!

The Womenlines team wants to make your weekend extra special by preparing delicious Mediterranean Wraps with Roasted Cauliflower! Credit for the healthy recipe goes toSuzy Karadsheh, who runs a food blog https://www.themediterraneandish.com/

Ingredients  

  • 1 Tahini sauce recipe
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • extra virgin olive oil, I use our Private Reserve EVOO kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon za’atar spice, more for later
  • 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 lemon, cut in half (you’ll use as much of the lemon juice to your liking)
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 small red onion, halved then thinly sliced 1 cup chickpeas 1 bell pepper, any color, cored and sliced into thin batons
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, sliced into rounds (optional)
  • 4 Flatbread or lettuce wraps

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Make the tahini sauce according to this recipe and set aside for now.
  • Place the cauliflower on a large baking sheet.  Add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (I used a little more than ¼ cup Private Reserve EVOO). Toss to coat.  Season with salt, za’atar, paprika, and cumin. Toss again until cauliflower is well coated with the spices and olive oil.
  • Roast in the 450 degrees heated oven for 20 minutes. Turn florets over and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes or until browned to your liking (I like mine deeply browned, so I tend to leave them in the oven even longer).  Remove from oven. Add a sprinkle of za’atar and squeeze just a little fresh lemon juice on top.
  • While cauliflower is roasting, make the salad. In a salad bowl, mix arugula, red onion, chickpeas, bell peppers, and jalapenos. Add a pinch of salt, extra virgin olive oil, and a little lemon juice to your liking. Toss to combine.
  • Assemble the Mediterranean vegan wraps. Lay flatbreads flat, spread some tahini sauce on top. Add roasted cauliflower, and arugula salad. Drizzle with more tahini and roll the flatbreads from one end to another making 4 sandwich wraps. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Prepare ahead tips: To save time on prep, roast the cauliflower and chop the veggies ahead of time. The tahini sauce can be made in advance, as it can be refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For best results: Don’t dress the salad until you’re ready to assemble your vegan wraps. (This will help prevent the arugula from getting wilted.)
  • Don’t assemble the wraps ahead of time. They would be difficult to re-heat without the wrap becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Variations: Use other seasonal vegetables you have on hand. I have used my leftover roasted sweet potatoes and my Italian roasted vegetables in place of the cauliflower. Look for hefty vegetables that will be filling. You can also change up the seasoning to your liking.
  • Leftover wraps: If you want to stick to a vegan meal, simply place the cauliflower and arugula salad atop more leafy greens for a light lunch. It also makes a tasty side for these Vegan Eggplant “Meatballs”.

A good and decent women’s business attire not only helps you in making a good first impression on the job interviewer but also creates self-confidence within you. Researchers have suggested good women’s business attire creates a sense of discipline within an individual and a sense of team spirit in the place among employees. The moment you wear your crisp white shirt along with your trousers or skirts creates a different sort of energy and confidence within an individual. There are an ample number of choices for you to present yourself in the best way you can.

We have come up with some easy and amazing ideas to enhance your women’s business attire wardrobe 2021:

  1. White Button Down Shirt – This is one thing in clothes which is easily available anywhere and everywhere. This is the most basic and go to choice for anybody. This can be paired with any pants or a skirt.
  2. Blazer – A decent blazer is enough to make your day. Also to enhance your white button down shirt look, you can use a classy looking blazer with it, and there you go!
  3. Every Day Tee – You must be wondering how your everyday tee can help you in your professional look, well that’s true, pair your tee with some checked printed trousers and see the difference.
  4. Camisole – These are one of the most trendy wear these days. A decent camisole along with Cardigan should be in your business attire list.
  5. Sweaters – These are the best choice for winters, add your sweater with an A-line skirt or pants, and see the magic of beauty.
  6. Trousers –  Just a pair of trousers can make a huge difference in your women’s business attire. It is your everyday work pants, it is professional, it is totally appropriate for your look. My personally favourite ones are simple striped trousers or the plain solid color trousers, pair with any top wear either shirt with collar or basic tee as mentioned above. 
  7. Pencil Skirts – The elongated slim fit with curvy texture skirt follows your body line in that very refined sort of way. The best part of this, it can be worn as both formal business attire and as casual wear. (Bonus tips: Pair it with the same color of blazer which gives a more classy and elegant look as a professional women’s business attire
  8. Dress – A classic professional dress can make your day. Simply a straight body fit dress paired with a blazer is good women’s business attire. 

All the above-mentioned outfits will be incomplete without a pair of formal footwear of your choice along with a classy and elegant looking office bag.

 Some Other Bonus Tips For All The Beautiful Ladies –

  • Try to carry longer dresses and skirts rather than short ones.
  • Try to cover tattoos, if any present.
  • Try to choose the accessories which work with your outfit instead of those that are creating distraction among the others.
  • Try to avoid wearing too much fitted and too much loose clothes.
  • Never forget to wear pressed and clean clothes.
  • If you wear formal shoes, don’t forget to get the polish done neatly.
  • Try to opt for a neutral color.
  • Try natural and light makeup.

“BE A WOMAN IN BUSINESS NOT A WOMAN IN EVERYONE’S BUSINESS”

Your one effort can change the life of many. Empower Female leaders and make yourself stand out from the crowd.

“We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored”
– Sheryl Sandberg

Yes, that’s true.

Have you ever wondered about your surroundings without a woman?

No, right!

You are at home and you are surrounded either by your mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, or wife. As you step out from your house you are still surrounded by women’s whether it is school, college, or office, or any XYZ…place.

More the number of empowered female leaders established in our society, more opportunities arise for women in our surroundings. Because that would be an indication of women’s growth in our society. Yes, this is the core reality, which shouldn’t get ignored. Women leaders act as the source for other women’s dreams to make them true.

The world is moving ahead with this thinking whose reflection can be visible as women are winning the ground in the labor market and occupying their own position, which was unimaginable a few years back.

Many times women’s efforts didn’t get much appreciation in every place either at home or at work. Also, they were not allowed to have any right on the property of their parents and sometimes partners too. Earlier, in some countries females were not even allowed to vote and choose their representative. They are also deprived of choosing their work or job.

Empowering a woman in society should be taken as an opportunity for the betterment of society, rather than just raising one gender in society. 

Iceland is the country that sets a commendable example for this and so wonderfully it represents itself by remaining on the top of the list of Global Gender Gap Report for the last 12 years. Apart from this, our global leaders have also taken an initiative to create awareness about women empowerment by celebrating the 8th march of every year as International women’s day.

You all must have heard about our 17 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), in which every country is working to achieve the goals set with mutual global understanding in some or another way by creating their own local targets. Amongst them, Goal 5 is about Gender Equality, which says “Achieve Equality And Empower All Women’s And Girls”

Effect of this goal has been seen in various countries, one amongst them is my country too. We can see a good amount of women’s participation in different platforms from the fundamental source that is from representing in Indian Parliament to going to school in a village, from achieving medals in Olympics to being successful Entrepreneur. You name it and you get at least one woman in the crowd, which makes the whole squat different from others.

My country India has achieved this by simply starting its work from the root level and then moving towards a higher level. It has worked on an issue like – sex ratio, mortality rate, girl child education, and launched various schemes for deprived women and girls. India has a long history of women in different fields as a representative of all.

So, let’s come up with new ideas and try to support our ladies. Your one small initiative can be a life-changing moment for uncountable ones around the world.

Intern At Womenlines

Is your inner critic is overwhelming you and questioning your abilities as a female leader?

Leadership Coach Sally Anderson, a guest influencer for Leadership at the Womenlines panel from New Zealand has shared amazing insights to silence that inner critic and get empowered. Sally has privately coached key influencers internationally: CEO’s/executive teams/C-Suite forums/entrepreneurs/celebrities/politicians/millionaires/billionaires over 20 years.

ALL of the human sufferings is a function of what we make things MEAN! FACT!. If you wish to no longer suffer, STOP making things mean anything? Simple right? Well if it were we would not experience the degree of suffering we see in the world, individually and collectively.

Headsup:-

When you are impacted by external circumstances one of two things occur:-

  1. You default to feeling disempowered or
  2. Your inner critic becomes far more vocal

If this is the case here are my top 10 ‘awareness-based training’ tips. Given the impact of Covid 19, mental illness is at an all-time high so felt it would be good to provide some reprieve to those who feel impacted by current circumstance:-

  1. When in a disempowered state you are operating in child mode – the mastery skill is to use this state as your access point to shift state into adult mode through choice and self interest to an empowered state
  2. Your default automatic stance is as valid as the opposite, use this disempowered feeling to immediately hotkey into finding new evidence by shifting state with immediacy
  3. When disempowered you are disconnected from source feeding either past and or future based projections or both. Learn to reconnect,  identify where you are projecting, come back to your center, recalibrate and reconnect to what motivates you
  4. When you are listening to your inner critic dialogue, you are again disconnected from source, feeding either past and or future based projections or both. Identify where you are projecting, recalibrate and reconnect to what motivates you – what you feed will thrive, what do you do not feed will die!
  5. The key to self mastery is the length of time you spend in the trigger, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month etc. Learn to become proficient in shifting state with immediacy
  6. If you are unable to shift state there is only one thing going on, only one and that is – the payoffs of staying in your default out way what it is costing you. If you were present to the costs you would move in a heartbeat. Most are disassociated from the costs, they can rattle off the costs but not associated to the costs. To shift you need to identify what you are getting out of it, they are called ‘ontological payoffs’, stock standard for every human being, ie: Get to be right, get to make others wrong, get to be justified about your point of view, don’t have to be responsible here, get to be a victim, powerless to change the situation, get to dominate, manipulate, and control.
  7. Get a sense of humour for when you are disempowered or in your inner critic you are VERY serious, significant and dramatic (SSD) – to die to SSD, light up, step back, view it from a different perspective and realise that you are the creator of your own suffering
  8. Watch your languaging, the 5 relinquishment buckets for humans are:- I don’t have enough TIME, I don’t have enough ENERGY, I don’t have enough MONEY, I don’t know HOW, MANIFESTING ILLNESS to abdicate responsibility. How many books do we need to read that say be careful what you think for our thoughts create our reality, here’s the deal, they do and yet we are not trained to be extra vigilant with where our thoughts are focused. Those who are COMMITTED will always find the energy, always find the time, always find the money, always work out the how, and will look after their wellbeing to ensure they do not manifest any form of illness. How committed are you?
  9. Being positive just doesn’t cut it sometimes. There is a difference between managing your state versus experientially shifting your state, big difference – do the inner work!
  10. Using this as an analogy – can you imagine what it is like vacuuming if you have not plugged it in and turned it on, bit tricky – we as humans often live in a disconnected state, disconnected from the power source and then wonder why life is occurring as it is. Make sure you plug in and stay plugged in, life is a lot easier when connected to source

Here’s what I know:-

  • Nothing externally can impact your state unless you allow it
  • You can only control the controllables. Become fascinated by the unknown, magic and miracles lie here – re-access the wonderment of life
  • You have a choice on how you feel, choice on how you respond, choice on how you react, choice on how you view every single situation you experience in this life of ours, so stop living life at consequence to circumstance and reclaim your power through ‘choice’

What would your life look like if:-

– You could sustain being in your power all the time?

– You never heard your inner critic voice EVER again?

– You never worried ever again?

– You embraced everything you felt uncomfortable with, confronted by, or resistant of?

All of this folks is a CHOICE!

Food for thought today!

Final word:-

Is what you are THINKING forwarding your game, if it is not don’t THINK it!

Is what you are DOING forwarding your game, if it is not don’t DO it!

Is what you are SAYING forwarding your game, if it is not don’t SAY it!

Is who you are forwarding your game, if it is not don’t BE that!

Womenlines guest contributor Maiye Waller from North Carolina, United States, is sharing her empowering story of being a survivor of infant loss who is on a unique mission to give a voice to women and babies in her community by making sure they receive the most adequate maternal care and support during and after pregnancy.

I moved from my hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida to Greensboro, NC in November of 2016. I previously carried a long-distance relationship with the then “Love of My Life” Dave. After just a couple of months here, I was instantly gifted with the biggest blessing of all, my first baby! I was about to be a mother to a little boy I had named Mace. The whole pregnancy was the most beautiful experience ever! I felt like he brought me so much luck. We won contests and I even had two Baby Showers! This kid had it all. By God’s grace, I went on to carry him full term. To my surprise, my mom flew in on the morning before my due date. I can say that September 19th,2017 is a day I remember unambiguously because it was the day before my life changed in the most irrevocable, unnatural way…

This is Mai Truth..

On 9/20/2017, I gave birth to my son Mace A. Williamson. The labour was long! 32 hours total! The most exhausting 32 hours that couldn’t have prepared me for the first few seconds of Mace’s life. “Code Teddy Bear”! I heard someone say. My mom caught a quick picture of Mace. He looked just like I had dreamed! But he wasn’t crying, His eyes were closed, and they were wheeling him off before I could even hold him. I was confused. They told me he had to be on some cooling blanket for 3 days. Still muddled, I didn’t think of it being a serious emergency because this was my first baby and I really didn’t know anything, seriously. Not even that “practice push” term the nurse used during the birth. So after not three, but SIX days in the NICU without a diagnosis; I had to leave the hospital. Away from him. Mace. They wanted me to leave my baby there alone. I was devastated. But God knew I couldn’t bear it. That same day, I got the news that I was blessed with a room at the Ronald McDonald House!

I was able to stay there while my son was in the NICU. I would have to be away from David most of the time though because he had to go back to work immediately. Mind you, he had taken only just a few days off after Mace’s birth. His boss understood but Dave knew that our finances were looking funny. He had to provide, so day in and day out, I was with my son Mace in the NICU. ALL-DAY. It was the most emotional experience ever. I had so much anxiety! I dealt with depression. I was pumping breastmilk, but it seemed like the less my baby was near me, the less milk my body produced. Or my body knew something that I didn’t want to believe…

On the seventh day of Mace’s life, he was given an MRI. It was determined that Mace had suffered brain death due to a birth injury caused by the vacuum-assisted delivery.  It was something I could have never prepared for. YOU DON’T PREPARE FOR IT! You can’t. The life I carried for 9 months, gone. The dreams and goals I had for me and my little family, gone. I was dead at that moment. I just wanted to be with Mace. I mean, what else could be to live if I wasn’t a mom to him?

I love and respect every staff member of the NICU that tended to my son as well as the one’s across the world. BUT I wish someone had been real and just told me from day one that he was gone. I asked! If I had known what I know today, four years ago, he never would’ve made it to the NICU. For 6 days I watched helplessly as my baby boy Mace was being poked and prodded, all useless. That’s probably the harshest reality of being a NICU mom/Loss Mom. Seeing my baby being given useless medication or tests ran that they knew were no good to him. I had to end this! He was just a vessel; his soul was gone!

Mace passed away in my arms without monitors on October 2nd, 2017. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, another nonprofit organization that partnered with the local hospital; did the final photographs for us to remember our Mace. Those two nonprofit agencies gave me a vision…

So, I fought for peace, closure, and the truth for four long years. I had to stand for something. He was a bundle of life and joy before I went in for the birth. He was let down and so was I. From that day I promised to dedicate my life to him because he was taken.

In his honour, this year, I created the nonprofit organization called The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation. The mission of the Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation is to give a voice to women and babies in my community by making sure they receive the most adequate maternal care and support during and after pregnancy. I will provide doulas to new qualifying mothers free of charge as a way of extending strong support for them during and after pregnancy and/or perinatal loss. In time, I will fund a community support centre that promotes mental health, provide any kind of support needed for women and families who have dealt with fetal death or babies in the NICU for extended stays.

We have only just opened our doors in May 2021 but the response has been very overwhelming but much deserved. I was contacted by The Florida Dept of Health’s TOPWA (Targeted Outreach Pregnant Women Act) Program in Pinellas County, Florida, to bring me on board as a referral specialist, I am from St. Pete, so we knew without question it would be a huge impact in the community. I have even gotten some celebrity reach in just this short period of time; Gretchen Carlson is probably the most special and significant connection that I have made! She is on the Board for the March of Dimes. I have given this Foundation everything I have. I must walk by Faith. I must be that light. I know people are my passion and I also know that my pain turned into my purpose.

Since May the support has been amazing! I have had several nonprofit organizations reach out to collaborate with us for NICU Awareness month in September. I, in turn, reached out to some too. We all have a similar vision.  I am all for collaboration.  I recently launched a project called “The L.O.S.S. Group Project”. It stands for “Ladies Owning ‘our’ Stories of Survival. the L.O.S.S. Group Project is a Blog Group that is open to listening to ANY and ALL women sharing AND owning their unique “stories of survival”!  We all just want to be heard. I know you can probably relate to also always being the one to hold things in, always being the one that just accepts what has happened to them and blamed yourself for it and running away from the truth!

“Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise.”

— A. N. Wilson

Jim Kwik is one of the world’s most famous brain training coaches who shows you how to tap into your very own mind power. For the past three decades, Jim taught his learning techniques to students from universities such as NYU, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, and Singularity, as well as executives and employees from companies such as Nike, GE, Zappos, SpaceX, and Virgin to get the most out of work and life. In this powerful presentation, Jim Kwik talks about unlocking your Super Brain by incorporating effective productivity tips that will help you learn faster. In this video, Jim Kwik explains six tips on how to learn faster and how to use the “FAST” technique as part of your daily brain training regimen.

Insights for Empowered Females to have a super brain

Here is the list of insights I picked from this video-

  • All learning is emotional state-dependent. The emotional state that you feel while learning is anchored to your learning
  • There is nothing like a good and bad memory. There is either trained or untrained memory
  • Your brain is like a supercomputer and your self-talk is like a computer programme so better monitor your self-talk!
  • Why it is important to “Learn How to Learn Fast”
  • Two super-villains: Digital Overload & Digital Destruction
  • Everyday perform brain yoga (doing squats holding right ear lobe with the left hand and left ear lobe with right hand)
  • Always learn with the intention to teach to others what you have learnt
  • Digital Dementia – How modern people are losing simple memorisation capabilities
  • The mind learns from creation

Mantra for fast learning:

Remember the full form of FAST as explained by Jim Kwik in his blog

THE F IN FAST STANDS FOR FORGET.

  • If you want to speed up ‘kwik brain,’ you must temporarily forget three things.
  • Forget what you already know about the subject. A lot of people don’t learn faster because they feel like they already know the information. But your mind is like a parachute; it only works when it’s open.
  • Forget about anything that’s not urgent and important. You can’t multitask. If your brain is thinking about 4 different things, you’re not fully present – so you won’t learn ‘kwik’ly.
  • Forget your limitations. These are beliefs like your memory isn’t good, or you’re a slow reader, or you don’t have the right education to learn. But if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. Your memory isn’t fixed, and it is possible to remember hundreds of words and numbers the way I do onstage.

THE A IN FAST STANDS FOR ACTIVE.

  • In school, we were taught to learn by consuming information quietly. But you don’t learn by being lectured to. You learn by creating information and being active in the process.
  • Learning is NOT a spectator sport.
  • How can you be more active in your learning?
  • Ask questions.
  • Take notes.
  • The more active you are, the more you will learn.

THE S IN FAST STANDS FOR STATE.

  • Your state is a snapshot of your mood – the mood of your mind and your body. It’s the emotional well-being that you feel in that exact moment.
  • Information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory.
  • Many of us don’t remember what we learned in school because the umbrella emotion for most people in school was boredom.
  • You are the only person in control of your state.
  • How can you improve your state?
  • Change your posture or your body or breathing.
  • Sit or stand the way you would if you were totally energized.
  • Think about how you’ll benefit from the information.

THE T IN FAST STANDS FOR TEACH.

  • If you want to cut your learning curve in half, learn with the intention of teaching it to somebody else.
  • If you had to give a presentation on what you’re learning today, you would learn it differently. You would pay closer attention. You would take more detailed notes. You would ask better questions.
  • When I teach something, I get to learn it twice.
  • People often say that those who can’t do teach. But I never saw that as a negative. I always thought, wow, if I can’t do something, I can teach it, and then I can do it.

It’s about working with your brain waves and treating them like your very own superpower.

Health is Wealth friends, we strongly believe at Womenlines! Accumulate more health-related wealth by preparing Chia Coconut Pudding this weekend! Credit for the recipe goes to Annemarie Rossi who runs a wonderful food blog https://realfoodrealdeals.com/!

Chia Coconut Pudding

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 tbs pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (or more, as needed)
  • 1 cup mixed berries for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the chia seeds. If you pour them in quickly, they’ll clump.
  • Stir every few minutes for the first ten minutes, then refrigerate the mixture. Let it thicken for at least 3 hours, or as long as a few days.
  • When ready to serve, divide the chia coconut pudding into 3 bowls or jars, and top with berries.

Notes

If the pudding doesn’t start to thicken after you’ve added the chia seeds, add additional seeds 1 tablespoon at a time until it begins to thicken. Then refrigerate.
