  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Diana Daniele. She says -

    We are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them.

    “There's a danger with everyone turning to you where you feel like you're giving, giving, giving, and you're kind of giving yourself away and that you don't have any time just for you because people are kind of knocking down your door, and you have to figure out your own path. But I think if we women see that when someone's turning to us, that that is empowering and that we are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them and they are holding them and they are beholding them and treasuring them, that there's a lot of bang for that buck.”

    Diana is a tireless advocate for invisible illness and mental health, and she is a writer and publicist living in Los Angeles. And in addition to writing about mental health and invisible illness, she writes about female friendship and family dynamics for publications like Newsweek and Business Insider.

    When I discovered the power of my village, the load was shared.

    “I would ask myself, what is it that I really like doing? What do I like doing? Not so much a worry of, am I good at it, because it's my belief that if you really like something, if you're really passionate about it, you accomplish that, you find a way to do it.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Pamela Thompson. She says:

    What I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.

    “Doing more than being and giving more than receiving, and often feeling that you can't reach out for help. And to the women, I would say that it's not a sign of weakness to reach out for support. Because I don't know about you, but the way I was raised, it was like I was meant to feel, it could have been inadvertently, that if you reached out, it was a sign of weakness. Whereas, what I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.”

    Pamela Thompson is the founder of Female Wave of Change Canada, which is a national member based nonprofit and she believes that feminine leadership holds the key to creating a better world.

    She's also the author of two best selling books, Learning to Dance with Life, A Guide for High Achieving Women and The Exploits of Minerva, Reflections of a 60 Something Woman, and is currently working on her third.

    "I think having the intention around, what is it that you want to do, and really being honest with yourself. Are you doing it for this reason, or are you doing it for that reason? And does that fulfill you? Is that really what makes you whole?
