Happy Wednesday angels, we hope you enjoyed our Monday In Conversation, and we're back with another one in honour of International Women's Day (or week, as we've decided!)

Her body has been completely restructured so that she could survive an aggressive cancer.
Jess's leg was amputated just before her ninth birthday, and she has had to adapt to living with a prosthetic leg. The challenges Jess has faced ever since have given her a unique outlook. Growing up, she felt alone in her difference, but she has learnt that the one thing people have in common is that we are all different.
She is on a mission to normalise 'different', speaking out on social media, creating diversity through her work as a model and helping people see we have a choice over how we respond to hardship and we just know that with this years IWD theme of Breaking the Bias you'll absolutely adore learning from her journey.

256: FRIDAY DRINKS: is it okay to ask questions about my share portfolio right now? - 4/3/2022
The world is a tricky place for most of us to navigate at the best of times, but right now it's extra challenging for many of our community, but does that mean we shouldn't be asking insensitive questions like "what's happening to my share portfolio?" when others are going through far more traumatic things? Join J, V and G to discuss the ins and outs of caring for the world, while still ensuring you're safe in it.
Also, we'd like to share with you guys that we will be donating 20% of the profits from our She's on the Money IWD events next week to flood relief. We know that coming off the back of the past few years many people are doing it tough, and we've seen from conversations in our group that there are a number of people who want to help or donate but aren't currently in the position to. So this donation isn't from Victoria, or Georgia or Jess or even just from the SOTM team. It's from the SOTM community.
