      <image:title>The monthly Edit - March 2026 - Ask Lynn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Any questions you have, career-led, life choices or situations you need help navigating - I will answer. This month I talk through questions such as: I worked hard to get into leadership and recently got promoted, but now I’m expected to perform and take on mentorship. My emotional load has increased tenfold. How do I keep my peace? I’m 29 and I just started investing for the first time. I feel massively behind. Any advice I’ve got a two-year-old daughter as a single mum and I feel scared about the way the world is moving. How do I prepare her? How do I balance everything? I feel like I’m spinning 100 plates. Does it get easier?</image:caption>

      <image:title>The monthly Edit - March 2026 - Episode IX: She Means Business Special Edition</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this special edition of She Means Business, we go beyond the headlines and into lived experience. We don’t just ask where we stand, but where we are going, and what it will truly take to get there. I invited a diverse cross-section of women - across industries, across generations, from those just stepping into their careers to those at the height of influence - to answer five candid questions about carving a path to the top in the world as it is today. Not the polished conference version. The real version. Because progress isn’t linear. And power isn’t evenly distributed. But women are still rising strategically, intelligently, and unapologetically.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The monthly Edit - March 2026</image:title>
      <image:caption>Women’s Rights Are Democratic Rights. In this sharp Foreign Affairs piece, Hillary Clinton makes a sobering argument: the rollback of women’s rights around the world is not random - it’s a political strategy. History shows that when democracies begin to weaken, the first freedoms to be tested are often those of women. Our rights become the proving ground for how far power can reach. Clinton reframes the issue clearly: women’s rights are not a “women’s issue.” They are a barometer of the health of democracy itself. Essential reading for anyone paying attention to where the world is headed. I can say from personal experience that Vladimir Putin is threatened by strong women.  As I argue in a new piece in Foreign Affairs, Putin and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear women.  It's because defending women's rights and combating the global tide of authoritarianism is the same fight. Read the full article here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Any questions you have, career-led, life choices or situations you need help navigating - I will answer. This month I talk through questions such as: How do I support the only woman on my team without making it awkward or performative? My manager is back from maternity leave and struggling slightly - should I say something or keep covering for her? How do I work well with a very traditional male manager while setting boundaries early? My wife is the breadwinner and may become my boss - how do we protect our relationship and my sense of identity?</image:caption>

      <image:title>The monthly Edit - February 2026 - Episode VIII: Robert Baker, Founder, Potentia Talent Consulting</image:title>
      <image:caption>This week on She Means Business, I’m doing something a little different. For the first time, I’ve invited a man into a conversation usually reserved for women - not to centre himself, but to interrogate power alongside us. My guest is Robert Baker, Founder of Potentia Talent Consulting, and a fierce advocate for gender equity in the workplace. Robert spent more than four decades at Mercer, where he rose to Senior Partner and led Diversity &amp; Inclusion Consulting internationally, advising some of the world’s most influential organisations on leadership, culture, and talent. He is also a Trustee of UN Women UK and was recognised as an Agent of Change for his work advancing gender balance and inclusive leadership.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The monthly Edit - January 2026 - Ask Lynn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Any questions you have, career-led, life choices or situations you need help navigating - I will answer. This month I talk through questions such as: 1. I have always felt like I wanted a ‘big life’. I used to feel like this meant career and money. Now, I’m getting older and I feel like my idea of ‘big’ has changed, but I’m struggling to let go of this idea of traditional success. Do you have any tips? - Alice, Medicine  2. I’ve been at my current company for two years and I feel like I’m getting stagnant. What should I look for in a new job to keep moving and growing? I want to change industries, but I’m worried about starting again. How do I balance my ambition and my knowledge levels? - Becca, Marketing 3. I’m 55 now and want to step into a leadership position after a career break to raise my kids. I’ve been back at work for 7 years, and I’m ready to step up. How do I approach this? - Bonnie, Insurance 4. I’ve always been super ambitious, and I’m finding it hard to let go of that and settle in my current space because I’m always on the lookout for better roles that might pay more. Is it wrong to be doing that? I feel like it’s taking up headspace, but I don’t want to miss out. For context, I come from a first-generation immigrant family, so I feel like there is a lot of pressure on my choices. - Zainab, Tech</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Any questions you have, career-led, life choices or situations you need help navigating - I will answer. This month I talk through questions such as: “December is our busiest month, and my team expects me to take on extra shifts. I’m already burnt out, but saying no feels like I’m letting them down. How do I protect my energy?” “I'm six months postpartum and due to return to work in the new year but I’ve changed my mind. How do I talk to my husband about this? I feel like it puts pressure on him to be the breadwinner when we were always equal. I feel like either I let down my baby, or I let him down.” “In my job someone always works Christmas, and traditionally it’s the most junior. They didn’t hire a new person this year due to budget cuts, which means I’m on for the third year running. My colleagues all have partners and children, so I feel bad asking for time off, but I want Christmas too. How do I say it kindly without damaging relationships?”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Any questions you have, career-led, life choices or situations you need help navigating - I will answer. This month I talk through questions such as: How can I support my Black colleagues at work? I've heard comments from people about their hair for example and I just don't know if I should speak up and what to say. I've got my own business and want to make sure that I approach things with DE&amp;I in mind. I want to create a culture of diversity, how can I do that? struggle at work sometimes to explain to people the importance of my culture (I'm Jewish). They don't understand why I can't cover certain shifts and I feel it's being taken as an attitude problem, when in reality I am just honouring my family. How do I approach this?</image:caption>

It’s insightful without being preachy, and always leaves you thinking differently about how you show up. If you’re serious about building sustainable success, this one deserves a spot in your weekly rotation.</image:caption>

This month I talk through questions such as: “Everyone keeps telling me that I should start investing, but I earn less than 30K a year. When should I start doing it? It feels a bit pointless to use £20 a month.” “My sister has massive student debt from her masters. I really want to do one, but I just don't want all of the debt. Is it worth doing a masters these days? Should I sacrifice the money? I can't decide what to do.” “My Mum always drilled into me that I should never be reliant on a man, but my fiancé earns twice as much as I do. We want to buy a house, but our budgets are obviously so different. Is it ok to get a nicer house that is outside my budget? How can I make sure I don't become reliant on him?”</image:caption>

Supercharge the thickness and fullness of your brows with this unique blend of strengthening ingredients, designed to increase the density of each hair. At the heart of the formula is Rovisome Biotin - a blend of Biotin and Panthenol- chosen to condition, strengthen and help improve the look of density. Caffeine is added to help stimulate and support circulation, while Argan and Coconut Oils offer lightweight moisture and shine. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates. Turmeric and Thyme bring a calming finish, supporting skin wellness and encouraging growth at the root.
