I was honored to attend the Women’s Health at Work: Closing the gender gap event by @The Globe and Mail in partnership with Sun Life. The focus of the event was on the importance of women’s health in the workplace and the essential role that it plays in our society.
I am proud to see the women at Sun Life leading the movement on having an inclusive and safe workplace culture for women to not only feel comfortable and heard but to thrive in their career paths. Creating an inclusive work environment that supports women through different life stages, whether navigating, pregnancy, menopause, mental illness, or the pressure of caregiving sends a powerful message about valuing diversity and promoting overall well-being. Thank you @ Helena Pagano and Jessica Tan for your work in these initiatives and for setting a strong example in prioritizing women’s health at work. I am eager to see the continued positive changes that will undoubtedly result from your efforts. It was.

Yesterday, I was invited to attend a powerful Truth and Reconciliation event at the Catholic Community Services of York Region (CCSYR). It was a moving experience that deepened my understanding of our shared history and the importance of healing and respect for indigenous communities.

25 years ago, I embarked in the journey of helping people find financial freedom. Little did I know that on the way, I will find my own freedom. I had to work hard for my place in this industry. I am a successful professional and a mother of two. It has not been easy to excel on both roles.
However, I am grateful for my mentors along the way that believe and supported me by embracing equity in the many roles I have held during my journey and allowing me to create a successful career on my own terms by giving me freedom to be and grow not only as a professional but as a person.
I wish all women are giving the opportunity to choose their path to success, without sacrificing who they are or want to be as a person. I believe its possible by acknowledging that success comes in different shapes and forms for everyone. #EmbraceEquity
