Top 2018 women’s podcasts
Kat – July 2018 It’s not a secret I love podcasts seeing as I host one of my own. You build such a personal relationship with someone when you have their voice in your ear while you do the dishes, ride your bike, or are just winding down after a long day. What I also […]
Summer of Stories
Summer of stories Sara – August 2018 Thanks to my incredible team, I was able to take a few days off and get a real change of setting. Before I left, I was struggling to take in and process any new information since we have been learning and working so much over the past months. […]
Detoxing – the natural way
Digital detox the natural way? Hannah – September 2018 I love technology that supports everyday work more effectively. I sometimes get smiled at for my Blackberry when someone doesn’t know that Blackberry runs with the safest Android. I have a smartwatch, now the second one. I love my laptop and when I buy bags, I […]
Feminism is not for sale
Kat – September 2018 After almost four years away, I went back to the US for the first time a few weeks ago. It’s a little surreal walking down the same NYC streets as a visitor which you used to walk everyday to work. It’s also always interesting when you have moments to compare how […]
Why I think women should be the ones redefining leadership
Sara – October 2018 Why women? We get asked this a lot at CoWomen, and I have many answers. To discuss this topic, it’s necessary to generalize. So, just to be clear: We’re all individuals, and men can be feminine and feminists, and women aren’t feminine or feminists just based on the fact they’re women. However, a new rise […]
A review of the Kickass (Wo)men event and the magic of CoWomen
Kim – November 2018 This morning I took my “Kickass (Wo)men” shirt out of the closet. I saw it and I just felt like this one of those days: A day I remember that I am Kickass and that I can do almost anything together in a strong team. I remember the day of the […]
4 dos & don’ts of speaking at Web Summit and other large stages
Kat – November 2018 Whether it’s speaking just in front of a couple of people or thousands – sweaty palms, racing heart, forgetting what you wanted to say, we’ve all felt some level of nerves when speaking publicly. Recently we had the pleasure of attending Web Summit, one of the biggest tech conferences from around […]
“Tragen Sie Unterwäsche?”
Hannah – Dezember 2018 Am letzten Freitag, 30.11.2018, war ich beim ersten Selbstständigentag, den Freeliance organisiert hat. Olla sagte mir, dass ich doch unbedingt ein Thema für ein Barcamp vorschlagen sollte für all die anwesenden Frauen. Ich nannte es „Female Empowerment ohne Klischees – die besonderen Herausforderungen für Frauen und mögliche Lösungen.“ Worauf sind wir […]
Pursuing your career intuition, not a vision
Sometimes I feel like I am simultaneously the most confident and the most insecure person on the planet. I very much know myself and what I enjoy, and what works for me as an employee and student. But what I don’t know is what the expectations really are for me at this time. I can raise […]
The importance of knowing your worth as a freelancer
I started freelancing writing in 2017 to supplement my income. I was just about to graduate college and had accumulated a massive amount of student loan debt. To say I was feeling overwhelmed was an understatement! What I didn’t know then was how the decision to start freelancing would change my life. My intention at first […]
