SANTALAN WEEKLY
YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO FINDING BALANCE
Cartier, conversations and the Retreat everyone’s talking about
This week we’re talking connection in all its forms — from an intimate morning at the Cartier exhibition and inspiring conversations with Mauli Rituals and Yaitte, to the moments that made the last Santalan Retreat unforgettable. Plus, Dalbir shares her reflections on why we all need spaces to talk, listen and be heard.
Why “up” isn’t always the right direction
We’re taught that success means constantly moving upwards—bigger titles, more responsibility, endless hustle. But what if real growth comes from going sideways instead? In this week’s Santalan Weekly, I reflect on the power of career sidestepping and why sometimes the boldest move you can make is the one that brings you back to what you truly love.
Live from Italy: A solstice moment
Live from Italy: a moment to reset.
This week’s Santalan Weekly invites you to pause, reflect, and realign. From solstice reflections to mid-year reset prompts, coaching giveaway winners and exciting updates — it’s all inside.
Rewiring success: Why habits matter more than dreams
This week we’re talking habits, mindset, and the daily patterns that shape your success. Plus: a free visibility challenge, a coaching giveaway, and early access to our next retreat.
Do you wake up every day and feel invisible?
Too many brilliant women are showing up, doing the work, and still feeling invisible. This edition of Santalan Weekly explores the quiet cost of that invisibility — and what it really means to be seen again, with presence, clarity, and power.
When you're not seen: change the frame
As women enter midlife, many begin to feel invisible — professionally, socially, even in their own narratives. In this edition of Santalan Weekly, Dalbir reflects on the unexpected response to a recent post about midlife invisibility and dives into what it truly takes to be seen again. From reframing your leadership story to redefining visibility on your own terms, this is a bold call to stop shrinking and start repositioning.
If you could, would you?
This week’s Santalan Weekly asks a simple but powerful question: If you could live differently, would you? We explore what it means to rethink work, rest, and freedom — from finding your true Freedom Number, to considering a sabbatical, to questioning whether traditional retirement goals still make sense. We also spotlight Shatterproof by Dr. Tasha Eurich, a book that challenges outdated ideas about resilience and offers a smarter, more sustainable way to grow through change.
The shift: rethinking home, career and where you belong
In this issue: 10 things to consider before relocating, why more women are moving abroad, and Dalbir’s story of leaving London to build a business in Mumbai.
Reinvention, Resilience, and Leading Through Stress
This week at Santalan, we’re diving into the importance of managing stress and prioritising wellness for women in leadership. From Dalbir’s approach to taking things step by step, to Amy’s daily rituals for calming the mind with breathwork and nature walks, we explore practical tips for staying grounded. We also highlight the Cinni AI innovation in retail, and our book of the week, Wild Courage by Jenny Wood, offers empowering insights for women to embrace their true potential.
