A common myth surrounding skincare is that it’s ineffective or unnecessary when exercising. Many believe that sweat, dirt, and physical exertion negate any skincare routine, thinking it’s best to just leave skin alone during workouts. However, emerging research and professional insights reveal that skincare can indeed be effective and even enhanced by exercise, thanks to increased blood flow, open pores, and the body’s natural detoxification processes.

As sustainability regulations tighten worldwide, businesses face mounting pressure to accurately disclose and reduce their carbon emissions. However, the intricate and often opaque nature of Scope 3 data – which encompasses emissions embedded across the entire value chain, from suppliers to end consumers – means that many companies still rely on broad estimates to report their carbon footprint. This dependence on estimated data can lead to inaccuracies that hinder business leaders from making informed decisions with a genuine impact on sustainability.

Nothing could have prepared me for this moment. Here. Right now, writing a "hear me out" piece about Belgium, of all places. But here we are. Now say Ghent five times fast, and hear me out. Ghent does not look anything like “Belgium's answer to Silicon Valley.” It’s not a valley, granted. Far less self-driving cars. And, thankfully, fewer quarter zip vests. Yet here I am, marking my fourth new beginning in the past decade– following Barcelona, Amsterdam, and most recently, Berlin.

Innovation is by its very nature risky. It means creating something new, something different, and stepping into the unknown. Successful innovations can look obvious or logical in hindsight - of course inventing vacuum cleaners without a paper bag, as Dyson did, was going to be popular - but at the time success was far from guaranteed.

As women entrepreneurs, we often encounter unique mental roadblocks that limit our ability to think bigger and achieve greater success. These barriers are not external but internal - myths we tell ourselves that deeply affect how we approach opportunities, risk, and self-worth.
