Women celebrate
WOMEN from Chillagoe gathered together for an empowering morning tea hosted by the Chillagoe Alliance recently.
Guest speakers Sylvia Cockburn and Amy Braes presented stories of resilience. Mrs Cockburn shared inspiration, including from women who lived on remote stations and faced exceptional adversity, yet continued to contribute to the betterment of those around them.
“It is a joy to share stories and remember the lives of women who have left a mark on me, as I believe that we can all learn from their strength and compassion for others,” she said.
Amy Braes was also a guest speaker, and she spoke about the importance of mindset for women.
"Working as a coach and facilitator for women in regional, rural, and remote locations, I consistently encounter a pattern where women fail to acknowledge their own strength – although it is clearly obvious to everyone else,” she said.
“This self-doubt often manifests as imposter syndrome where they prevent themselves from chasing their dreams or taking steps towards their goals."
