In this week’s episode of Stories and Strategies, I spoke with Natasha of @spinningred.com about how confidence is often framed as a women’s issue, when in reality it is more complex and shared.
Confidence is not confined to gender. What differs are the expectations placed on it.

just did the age assurance scan with an image of my face for Bluesky... anyone else curious what their age was estimated at?! Kind of wish it told you - but what a can of worms that would be though!
Coming next week… how are you #CuttingThrough
Coming soon. Yes another podcast. Follow for updates.
And that London is huge - so many people needing to commute an hour plus home.
Bullseye. Glad I’m not American.
The chat about sustainability is tiresome - except when it is put in the right focus for businesses. Thoughts from me

how very human, lying to cover its arse.

The interconnectedness with nature is too often overlooked. Interesting share. Thank you
This!
Please make me proud to be Australian this weekend. #Auspol2025
And twice the number of candidates as 2024. We need preferential voting
Yes for liberalism. The Liberals last on Saturday #auspol
As long as we don’t get the Liberals on Saturday in Australia please
Anyone else getting sick to death of Rory’s questions on #TheRestIsPolitics? When will he learn that sitting MPs, especially leaders, can’t be drawn in the same way has beens like him can? Always pushing for an attack line.
Loved hearing about his early life and how entrenched politics is. Also that the his mum kept him - more common than I realised that women were often made to give their kids up. He comes from true matriarchal stock.
Interesting interview with @albomp.bsky.social - loved the reference to Dorothy Dixer (which I also got blank looks for ages when using it in the UK). But mostly calm centrist approach to a chaotic world. Would not be brought into issues with Rory’s divisive questioning. Sitting PMs need to balance
What are the words that people use to describe you? These are mine, I asked and people responded. More on the post

Glad things are being revisited and remembered. Only way we can ensure it does not happen again - like much of the response to covid. Shame overseas Australians also get stripped of our right to vote too…
And then next Sunday week it is set to plummet - just in time for our trip north
Heatwave warning next
When Trump says these tariffs are “reciprocal” it’s important to know he’s counting stuff like VAT – which is charged on domestic products as well as imports – as tariffs, which no-one else does. Because they’re not.
So the numbers he’s giving are all nonsense.
A cartoon is headed “How tariffs work”. It proceeds to show a cartoon of Trump in his suit and red tie taking a piss towards a fan with a Canadian maple leaf on it. The fan blows Trump’s piss back into his face. It was drawn and is signed by Bruce MacKinnon and is dated November 26, 2024
Bruce MacKinnon, the editorial cartoonist at the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, drew this last November.
No newspaper would print it.
It now deserves an outing.
Already playing out Boeing vs Airbus. Populism never wins.
