We All Have the Power to Be Our Authentic Selves
By Tanya Mushynski
When I was named one of WXN’s Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100, I felt an immediate sense of gratitude. I was honored to be part of a community of women who are not only advancing in their careers but lifting others as they do. I also paused to reflect on what brought me to this moment including the people who supported me along the way.
That reflection stayed with me as I joined the WXN Leadership Summit and Awards Gala. I remembered what Sherri Stevens said to all of us: Pause. Take this in. Reflect on what brought you here.

Rising Boldly Into a New Era
By Sonia Edmonds
A Quiet Realization
I didn’t expect the moment that changed me to be so quiet.
I was sitting in a conference audience when someone beside me leaned over and whispered, “There are no women leaders on this stage.”
It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t confrontational. It was simply true.
And in that instant, something shifted.

Energy Isn’t Your Problem. Boundaries Are
By Sheila Vijeyarasa
Can I tell you something?
As women in leadership, we talk a lot about energy.
How to protect it.
How to sustain it.
How to show up with enough of it to be the executive, the mother, the partner, the visionary.
We invest in morning routines and optimize our calendars, and yet so many of us are still running on empty.
Here’s where I’ve landed after years as a Chief Financial Officer and now as a mentor who works with women in high-stakes roles: the fastest way to leak energy isn’t a bad night’s sleep or a packed schedule, it is a boundary you haven’t set, or worse, one you set and then quietly retracted.

Living Your Truth, Day by Day
By Jackelyn Gill
“Live your truth” sounds simple.
Until you try to do it.
Because it’s not one decision. It’s a series of them. Small moments where you choose what matters, what you believe, and how you show up, even when it’s uncomfortable.
When we asked our Top 100 winners what living their truth looks like in practice, their answers weren’t abstract.
They were grounded. Personal. Sometimes hard-earned.
Here’s what they shared.

Purpose Isn’t a Statement. It’s a Practice.
By DESIRÉE BOMBENON
For ten years, I ran my company with a focus on something that, at the time, wasn’t always easy to define. I wanted the business to be a force for doing good. Not just in what we produced or delivered, but in how people experienced the work itself.
