Been thinking about this recently - Canva is often pointed to as an outlier that disguises the performance of the country’s biggest VCs. But what that line of argument forgets is that outliers are exactly what VC is all about. The rest is on top. afr.com/technology/bla…

Got some insight into what the rest of my year will look like this weekend… two hours of daycare orientation this week for Kaia resulted in the whole family getting gastro. 🫠

Great piece from Lauren Sams on Zoë Foster Blake and Go-To: afr.com/life-and-luxur… ZFB unsurprisingly seems immensely likeable and incredibly intelligent - so much value to be derived in knowing your strengths and playing to them, and hiring for your weaknesses.

If there’s one thing I’d like CEOs to know this #IWD2024 , it’s that employing more mothers will be a productivity boost to their business. Since becoming a Mum my productivity has hit a whole new level, and that extends to the workplace too. Mums know how to get sh*t done.

Here’s my other big project that’s been keeping me busy - this year’s Rich Women List: afr.com/rich-list/aust…

Been busy working on a few things since starting back and this is one of them - these female founders are killing it it retail and tech, but they don’t want you to think you can do it all: afr.com/wealth/investi…

Deja vu all over again … #Tigerlily swimwear brand falls into administration for second time in four years, writes ⁦Carrie LaFrenz⁩ #Retail afr.com/companies/reta…

A cruel summer? One minute you're an awesome 14 year old & the next you're diagnosed with leukaemia.

This is reality for my niece’s bestie Ivy. She was meant to be coming to Sydney for Taylor Swift on Friday with friends. That can't happen but can this?

Such a missed opportunity from Myer and DJs not having an Eras tour edit on their websites, unlike retailers like Showpo and The Iconic. A lot of people are trimming their spending, but there’s a whole lot of Swifties out there shopping for outfits right now.

Spent more than 8 months on this, and it’s the wildest story I’ve ever worked on.
The Tasmanian government covered up literally thousands of cases of child abuse over two decades. The cover up continues to this day.

Next week I’m back to work at the Financial Review, so it’s time I announce I’m going to be co-editing the Rich List. Felt like time for a new challenge, but plenty of my focus will still be on founders, including taking on the How I Made It and Female Founders podcasts.

A horrific, but important read. So many institutional failings and a complete disregard for the safety of vulnerable children by police, government and more.

The face of a dog who refused to go for a walk.

Yes team! Couldn’t have gone to two more deserving people.

Thrilled to see my amazing colleagues win this!!! Huge win for the Financial Review

Always protecting the pram.

You know you’re a Mum when it’s 7:15pm, you’re away for your first night on your own, but you’ve already eaten dinner and you’re ready for an early night.

Pretty sure the baby monitor is giving me anxiety. I think it needs its own sub-type in the DSM.
