Each For Equal – International Women's Day 2020

Every year International Women’s Day has a theme and for 2020 it’s to share how you are Each For Equal. Why? Because an equal world is an enabled world.

The IWD 2020 campaign theme is drawn from a notion of ‘Collective Individualism.' Because we are all parts of a whole. Our individual actions, conversations, behaviors and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society.

One of the questions IWD asks is, “how will you help forge a gender equal world?”

Here on the podcast, we honour are doing our damndest to forge a gender equal world by celebrating women's achievements, growth and empowering women to design a life and business they love.

I think you’re really going to love this week’s episode, so let’s get into it!

How is Rebecca Each For Equal?

• There is no one in the world just like Rebecca, just like there is no one in the world just like you. In this world where comparison can be SO present.
• It is so powerful to show up unapologetically as ourselves because there is a place at the table for us, just as we are. You showing up as your amazing self drives other women to do the same.

>> [8:35] Next we have Robyn Miller. Robyn is a mother, wife, medical doctor and accidental Mental Load expert. Upon returning to work after maternity leave, Robyn, like many women, experienced the struggles of the “mental load”.

Robyn realised that to continue to succeed in her professional career, and be a happy wife and mother, she and her partner needed to learn to truly share all this invisible labour.

When she couldn't find the any solutions or strategies from googling, books or from asking friends and colleagues, Robyn drew upon her own diverse skills and experience to develop a unique formula to achieve mental load equality. Robyn’s formula worked so well that she realised this strategy had the potential to help thousands more women and their families.

Robyn then founded The Mental Load Project, an online course and community, educating and empowering women in long-term relationships to truly and sustainably share the mental load with their partners.

Connect with her via Instagram (@mentalloadproject), Facebook (@mentalloadproject), and her website: mentalloadproject.com.

How is Robyn Each For Equal?

• Gender equality is not a women’s or men’s issue. It’s a global community issue.
• The majority of the mental load and labor falls onto women and mother’s. This inequality effects everyone in the family.
• This mental load stops women from being able to show up to their full potential and it shows children that
• True equality needs to start at home for our children to carry into the future generations.

• Suzi believes #EachForEqual shows up in her life through three ways: in how we show up and step into our true potential, it’s how we speak up instead of figuring it out on our, and finally it’s about how we lift up by extending support to other women to make a difference to them.

WRAP UP

>> [15:04] It wouldn’t be a Mums With Hustle Podcast episode if I didn’t share how we are Each For Equal. And this pulls at my heartstrings because it’s the whole purpose of Mums With Hustle. And that is to be brave enough to share my own knowledge so that it inspires other people to claim their own space, show up in this world and to share their talents with others.

>> [15:56] I really feel that this starts at home and within ourselves. What are we telling ourselves that we are worthy of? What are the limiting beliefs that we say we have versus the values that we choose to live by?

>> [16:45] I’m truly passionate about helping women advance and helping them understand that they have a voice and that they can have goals that they can chase. Business can be an amazing vehicle for women to tap into or reclaim her economic power in a relationship, in the home, in society, and in the world and that has a ripple effect.

>> [18:06] I had a conversation with someone and she didn’t want to share that she was pregnant on social media because she didn’t want to seem like she’d wasn’t as able as someone who wasn’t pregnant.

>> [19:27] Thank you so much for being here with me today. Now, let’s get you taking some action! I would love for you to share how you embody each for equal.
