Whether it's volunteering for another project, covering an extra shift, attending every event, or taking on additional responsibilities, many of us worry that saying no could make us appear unhelpful or uncommitted. But the truth is, learning to say no isn't about closing doors, it's about protecting your time, energy,

I’m an airline pilot, keynote speaker, founder, and mentor to women globally. But I didn’t start here. I began my aviation career as a flight attendant. I loved the skies, but I knew I was called to more. I wanted to be in the flight deck. I wanted responsibility. I wanted the weight of decision-making. I wanted to stretch myself! The path wasn’t at all glamorous though as it required humility, studying when I was tired, training when others were resting, and believing in mys

For pilots and cabin crew, every day at work is different. Early starts, irregular hours, changing time zones and limited opportunities for breaks can make managing your period feel more challenging.

Working as flight crew can mean your hair is constantly exposed to changing environments-dry cabin air, long duty days, early report times, and frequent styling. Over time, this can lead to dryness, breakage, and general fatigue in the hair if it isn’t properly cared for. The good news is that hair health in aviation doesn’t depend on complicated routines. It’s the small, consistent habits that make the biggest difference. Hydration Starts Before You Fly Healthy hair in the a

My Dad showed me a Newspaper advert from British Airways which showed a simple picture of the cockpit controls of a Boeing 747.
