Last night, our founder and CEO, Tammy, was honoured at the Irish Tatler Women of the Year Awards. Thank you so much to @irishtatler @businessposthq and @davy_group for recognising and celebrating our work. What a great way to celebrate a huge year for our team and community and Shona’s legacy 🙏❤️

Celebrating Georgia O'Keeffe, the “Mother of American Modernism,” who redefined art with her bold, nature-inspired works 🌸✨ ⁠
⁠
Known for her expressive use of color and her fearless independence, O'Keeffe showed the world that art can be deeply personal and unapologetically unique. ⁠
⁠
She remains an icon of artistic freedom and a reminder to embrace our own creative voice without limits. ⁠
⁠
Here’s to her resilience, brilliance, and impact that still resonates today. 💫⁠

Today is European Equal Pay Day, the point in the year when, symbolically, women stop earning relative to men for the same work. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a barrier that follows women’s lives, limiting opportunities, financial security, and ultimately holding back the potential of every girl and woman.⁠

At The Shona Project, we’re committed to ensuring every girl in Ireland has everything she needs to reach her potential. Today, we are asking for your support, by helping to fund our impact using the link below (also in our bio)⁠

It’s easy to get caught up in the highlights, the pictures, and the “perfect” moments. But real happiness? It’s found in the quiet, unfiltered moments that make you feel like you. 💛⁠
⁠
Let’s focus less on appearances and more on what truly brings us joy, peace, and purpose. ⁠
⁠
Remember, a life that feels good is always better than a life that just looks good. 💫⁠

✨ Reminder: “Doing your best” doesn’t mean

✨ Reminder: “Doing your best” doesn’t mean the same thing every day! ✨⁠
⁠
Some days, your best might look like crushing every goal, and on other days, it’s simply showing up. ⁠
⁠
Acknowledging this helps us stay kind to ourselves, no matter what the day brings. 💖 ⁠
⁠
If this feels new to you, here’s some tips on how to embrace this mindset:⁠
⁠
✨Reflect on Wins, Big or Small: Each day, recognise at least one thing you accomplished, no matter how minor it seems.⁠
✨Check in with Yourself: Ask, “What do I need today?” instead of “What should I achieve?”⁠
✨Give Yourself Grace: Everyone has off days; growth happens when we keep going.⁠
⁠
⁠
Remember, progress is progress, no matter the pace! ✨💪 ⁠

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and overlook life’s little joys. ⁠
⁠
But when we focus on glimmers—those tiny moments of calm and happiness—we can create a little more light in each day!⁠
⁠
Glimmers are everywhere: in a warm breeze, a favorite song, or a friend’s laugh. When we look for them, we remind ourselves that joy can be found in the smallest moments.⁠
⁠
Let this be your reminder to start noticing these glimmers and allow them to bring a little peace and presence to our lives ❤️⁠

Celebrating the unstoppable brilliance of Toni Mor

Celebrating the unstoppable brilliance of Toni Morrison, a true literary powerhouse whose words transformed hearts and minds!⁠
⁠
Morrison taught us that our stories have power, and through them, we reclaim identity, dignity, and self-love. ⁠
⁠
Her courage to explore complex themes and uplift Black voices has left a lasting impact on the world of literature and beyond. Let her life remind us to embrace our unique journeys and speak our truths, boldly and unapologetically!⁠

Girl...EVERY choice you make, big or small, shapes the path you’re walking. ⁠
⁠
Asking yourself, “Does this support the life I’m trying to create?” is a powerful way to stay focused on what truly matters and is aligned with our dreams. ⁠
⁠
Start small—whether it’s how you spend your time, the people around you, or the goals you set. It's all in the baby steps! ⁠
