Traveling while plus-sized…and tall…and anxious…

For the Labour Day long weekend, I took a trip to Comox, British Columbia to hang out with my (favourite) aunt Marilou and her adorable dog Essy. I had a flight booked from Calgary to Vancouver, a short layover and then off to Comox for a 3-night stay. Well…that didn’t exactly go as planned.

It’s my hunch (and this is just a hunch, I have zero scientific evidence to back this up…just 20+ years of professional experience to back up my claims) that part of the reason women are held back from progressing to higher levels in their careers, the C-Suite, Board roles, etc. is because of how we treat one another. Some of you may know what I’m talking about…those sneaky or bullying behaviours that serve to pull other women down, rather than lifting them up.

It’s been a minute and I hope you are all having a lovely summer so far. Hard to believe that our last blog was two months ago! One of my goals for 2021 was to write a monthly blog but what can I say, life sometimes gets in the way. I made the call to take the month of June to rest, recharge and focus on other activities.
