With topics like recycling, eating local and 'Green Christmas' popping up at our dinner table conversations, there is no better time to introduce the little steps you can easily do in the new year to do your part for planet earth!

Let's face it - we cannot talk about women and girls' empowerment without including men in the conversation. With men still holding a majority of key management positions in corporations, we will not make significant progress if we do not engage men as supporters and drivers of change.
We speak to Manila-based Lorenzo Tañedo — a Workplace Lead at Microsoft, Co-Founder of group fitness boxing workout Flyweight.ph, Harvard grad, husband and father.

We live in a noise-addicted world. We may find it challenging to discover our own voice, perhaps due to personal fears, shame and expectations. Sadly, some of us may even think that our voice isn’t worth finding.
After many years of struggling to find my very own narrative, I realized that one place I often overlook is actually within me. Now, I make conscious efforts to get in tune with my intimate oasis in the midst of all that

On 9th June 2018, we celebrate Global Wellness Day (GWD). The purpose of this social project? To ask ourselves the question even if only for one day, “How can I live a healthier and better life?”
One of the main aims of GWD is to be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits. Busy women of all ages and lifestyles manage a gazillion things everyday, and stress is inescapable. We all know that daily stress, if

Goal of #livingmypurpose: Create awareness among individuals & the broader community to just take a pause to think...if they actually have a purpose? If yes, are they living their purpose? If
"The syndrome that has tried to rule my adult life" - The Busy Woman Project community member Tracy Anderson
As long as I can remember, I never had a regular period. I remember going to my doctor as a naive 16 year old and asking to go on the pill as I was never quite sure when my menses would arrive. This really should ring alarm bells for any doctor - but for mine, it didn't.
As I finished high

In some cities, you may even find a couple of yoga studios down the same street, coupled with athleisure brands that cater to this group of growing consumers.
So...what exactly does a practice mean? How can you discover what suits you amidst the 'commercialisation' of yoga? How has

What do you spend your hard-earned money on and where does it go?
Does your dollar go towards an active wear company that practices gender equality and gives its female employees equal opportunities in top management?
Does it go towards a business that provides women in impoverished communities safe jobs that help better
