🌸 Long Weekend Self‑Care

Public holidays are made for slowing down, but rest isn’t just about doing less.
It’s about doing what fills you up.

This long weekend, give yourself permission to:
💜 switch off the noise and tune into what matters
💜 spend time with people who make you laugh
💜 take that walk you’ve been meaning to
💜 savour a slow breakfast or a quiet moment of gratitude

Rest isn’t lazy, it’s leadership.

When we care for ourselves, we show the girls around us that balance is brave.

So whether you’re out exploring or curled up at home, make space for joy, calm, and connection.

You’ve earned it.

✨ What are you doing to fill your cup this long weekend?

Share your fearless self‑care moments below, we love seeing how you recharge.

🌿 Self‑Care Sunday: Fearless Edition

Self‑care isn’t selfish it’s how we refill the strength we give so freely to others.

This Sunday, choose one gentle act that brings you back to yourself:
✨ a slow morning
✨ a walk in the sun
✨ saying no without guilt
✨ reconnecting with someone who lifts you up
✨ doing absolutely nothing and letting that be enough

When we honour our own needs, we model something powerful for the girls watching us:
that rest is a right, not a reward.

Wishing you a soft, nourishing Sunday.

🌼 Welcoming Leila to the Fearless Women Team 🌼

We’re so excited to welcome Leila as our newest Education Officer.

Leila is in her final year of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, majoring in Counselling Studies, and brings a deep passion for supporting young people as they build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self. Her calm presence, thoughtful approach, and genuine care for others make her a beautiful fit for the work we do with girls and young women across the ACT.

Outside of her studies and work, Leila loves travelling, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures and perspectives, curiosity and openness that shine through in the way she connects with others.

We’re thrilled to have her on the team and can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make as she steps into this role.

Welcome, Leila we’re so glad you’re here 💛

💛 Celebrating Our Fearless Mentors for National Volunteer Week 💛

This National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the incredible mentors who give their time, their heart, and their wisdom to empower girls and young women across the ACT.

Our mentors show up with courage, compassion, and a belief in what young women can achieve. They listen deeply. They guide gently. They create safe, uplifting spaces where confidence grows, strengths shine, and futures open.

To every Fearless mentor: thank you for the hours you give, the patience you show, the encouragement you offer, and the impact you make. Your support doesn’t just change a moment, it changes a life.

We see you. We appreciate you. And this week, we honour everything you bring to our community.

💛 Happy National Volunteer Week to our Fearless mentors, your generosity shapes brighter futures.

A morning wander through Canberra’s beautiful Botanic Gardens turned into the perfect mentoring adventure. Our mission: spot something red, something round, an unusual structure, a tree taller than you, and a two‑coloured flower.

Despite the very early start (10am counts, right), everyone was on the hunt and noticing details they’d usually walk straight past.

We wrapped up our scavenger hunt with a birthday surprise for mentor Mel box juice, popcorn, cupcakes, and lots of love. The perfect way to end a Fearless morning.

This month we said farewell to Trish one of our very first employees and a woman whose values, kindness, and quiet determination have shaped Fearless Women from day one.

Trish has been part of every chapter of our growth. Not just through the work she delivered, but through the way she showed up: grounded, thoughtful, and fiercely committed to creating a world where girls and young women can thrive. Her influence is woven into every program, every partnership, and every young life we touch.

A proud penguin lover, Trish brought that same spirit into her work steady, loyal, community‑minded, and always moving forward together. We will miss her warmth, her wisdom, and her unwavering belief in what Fearless Women can be.

Please join us in thanking Trish for everything she has poured into this organisation. She leaves with our admiration, our gratitude, and a whole colony of Fearless Women cheering her on for whatever comes next.
