While I’m out here evangelizing about the power of #togetherness and #checkingin on your people, my 9-year-old daughter is putting it into action!! 🥹🥹 she wrote this note to her principals just to let them know that she sees their hard work and appreciates them! ❤️ brb, have to go ping my people rn. Who will you check in with today? ✅✅✅
Today at @theli_st, we join @paidleaveforall and over 60 businesses to send a message to Congress: It’s time to pass paid leave. This Women’s History Month we’re taking a symbolic look at what could happen if more women exit the workforce and businesses close without the protections of federal paid leave. A federal paid family and medical leave program would keep more women and caregivers in the workforce, would lead to greater gender and racial equity, and would make our businesses, our families, and our economy stronger. *Add fire to the movement to pass paid leave by signing the petition at glamour.com/paidleaveforall. #ClosedForPaidLeave #PaidLeaveForAll

Happy Australia Day, Mates! Sending ☀️ from my Aussie Fam 🇦🇺🦘🐨🐊
@caseyerinclark is an impactful member of @theli_st. Casey just celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the founding of her business, @vitalvoicetraining —a major entrepreneurial milestone 🥳 Even though we are in community with each other, due to life and distance, we don’t get to see each other in person as much as I’d like. One of the many reasons I love this picture so much is because this hug shows how special it is to reconnect with people you usually only see in email threads! One of the things that is so special about being in community with Casey is how she shows up in conversations with so much personal vulnerability and also with so much generosity for other members which truly doesn’t go unnoticed. Beyond our email or text chains, Casey and I have done the 10 Minute Check In—How are you, you’ve been on my mind, how can I help…and she shows up at our regular monthly community zoom gatherings where we celebrate each other’s hard-earned wins at the end of a long week. Who is someone you don’t see often but still do or can start to do a 10 min check in with?✨

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! Last month we launched the 10 Minutes to Togetherness initiative. This encourages people to take just 10 minutes each day to connect with loved ones, friends promoting a sense of belonging and emotional support. I take 10 minutes each day to check in with people around me and encourage you to as well as we continue the dialogue surrounding mental health and wellbeing while addressing the loneliness epidemic taking place around us. How will you spend your 10 minutes today? 💙 With gratitude to @bsginsights and @berlincameron, our partners in the #research
Is #throwbacktuesday a thing? Big congrats to @taylorswift dropping her new album earlier this month! 👏🏼 What are your favorite songs on The Tortured Poets Department?!
Adult life, especially at work, can indeed be isolating and lonely. Taking just 10 minutes to connect with a colleague can break that loneliness and foster a sense of belonging. 10 Minutes to Togetherness encourages 10 minutes to connect can not only improve someone’s day but also can improve one’s mood and overall wellness✨ cred: @thingsyouwantedtosay
We love this friendly reminder from @mindbodymoe about the importance of connection in the human experience (especially as the sunday scaries might be creeping in)! Can you take 10 minutes out of your Sunday to connect with someone in your life?✨
This post is a celebration of @benishshah (right)— we gathered this weekend to honor her life five months after her passing. Benish was one of the first people to say “I can help you with that” when I was wrestling with business—and she always could. She taught me the power of being generous first and expecting nothing in return. She was a tremendous adventurer in her career—she made big things happen and always looked for what was new and next where she could have an impact. She wrote children’s books too—her bravery will live on in all the children who read them (mine included). And she always, always, always had the best shoes. (I’ll post her full look in my stories). I think of her often and hear her voice in my head. I’m wishing her light and love for her next adventure. Her memory is a blessing. ❤️

I recently had the honor of sitting down at @sxsw with the CEO of @hinge, @justinpmcleod, to talk about the power of connection and how much of an impact just 10 minutes can make in a person’s day. 10 minutes? May seem random but research backs this up. And we’re committed to talking about it and encouraging women in the workplace to prioritize these 10 minutes in their day to day. Continue following us for tangible ways to do this and to stay part of the conversation✨
Let’s Talk Loneliness by the Numbers. Our 10 Minutes to Togetherness initiative was born out of a deep dive into statistical data surrounding loneliness in the workplace. 80% of women in corporate careers say they are lonely BECAUSE OF their jobs –it gets worse as they get more senior and it’s preventing them from moving into positions of greater influence and power. It can be hard to even see the impact of loneliness on your own career. Sometimes it shows up as overwhelm, isolation, or a feeling that you’re not respected or not able to show up as yourself. But our goal is to help everyone make meaningful connections to combat loneliness so they feel seen, supported and successful.

Behind the scenes I’ve been hard at work on a new initiative to help women step into their power and at rise at work and I’m so excited to finally reveal: ”10 Minutes to Togetherness.” 80% of women in white collar careers are lonely BECAUSE OF their jobs, according to new research from @theli_st, @berlincameron and @bsg. The loneliness is making them feel isolated, overwhelmed, unseen, and disrespected. The solution to this crisis is simple yet profound: cultivating *meaningful togetherness*. We’ve had a nearly 20 year decline in time spent together, according to the US Surgeon General, but if we all spent 10 Minutes a day intentionally cultivating our networks, we’d decrease the loneliness gap by 50%. This is not about transactional networking or superficial interactions. IN with creating communities and workplaces where individuals feel truly valued, supported and connected and OUT with empty networking events. Through “10 Minutes to Togetherness,” we want everyone to cultivate a support system that helps them rise and to work in places where we all feel seen, heard, and celebrated for who we are. Please join me in this initiative by spending 10 minutes today reaching out to someone you work with to check in on how they are and offer your support. This I just a first step. There’s more at 10MinutestoTogetherness.com. But thank you for starting this journey with me. We can help tackle the loneliness epidemic—together.💙
As we embark on this new endeavor, I invite you to join me in shaping the future. There’s something exciting on the way. Stay tuned for what’s coming next. ✨
I’m ready to tackle the next frontier for combating loneliness, specifically for women in the workplace. We are facing this challenge together and addressing loneliness head-on, no matter where you are in your professional journey! ➡️
I’ve dedicated my career to helping women step into their power. From the launch team of CosmoGIRL to editor in chief @seventeen to #thebiglife to CEO and owner of @theli_st, I want to see women and non binary leaders succeed. With each milestone in my career, I’ve learned the true impact and importance of community and connection. And over the past year, I’ve delved into the research that has identified loneliness as a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. ➡️
