Leading With Integrity: A Modern Roadmap For Women In Business By Samanah Duran
Leadership is often framed as a set of skills, negotiation, visibility, strategy. Those are essential, but they are insufficient without a foundation of integrity and resilience. Too many women in leadership are taught to mimic outdated archetypes: louder, harder, relentless. That model produces results, and destruction. The new blueprint for leadership integrates strategy with self-care, courage with boundaries, and ambition with clarity of purpose.
The New Definition of Wealth: How Women Are Rewriting Abundance By Samanah Duran
For many years, wealth has been presented as a singular achievement, a number in a bank account, a revenue milestone, or a title earned. Yet through my work with BEYOUROWN, I have witnessed a very different reality emerging. The women I work alongside are quietly, deliberately redefining what wealth truly means and it extends far beyond money. At BEYOUROWN, I’ve had the privilege of observing hundreds of women at different stages of leadership and entrepreneurship.
The entrepreneurial journey is not for the faint of heart. It’s a path laced with unforeseen challenges, uncertainty, and—more often than we like to admit—failures. As a first-time entrepreneur, these obstacles can feel daunting, especially when you’ve stepped out of the comfort of an executive role, where structure and predictability were your daily companions. Yet, it’s in these moments of adversity that true resilience is forged.

6 Common Launch Mistakes and How To Avoid Them, By Denisha Ferguson CEO Of Indian Fashion Foundation
A brainchild is “a product of one’s creative work or thought”. As with physical children, a brainchild requires birthing or releasing into the world. Within the entrepreneurial space, no matter the sector, this typically takes place through a launch- something that I have ample experience with. For example, at 15 years old, I produced my first fashion show with $250 that I had saved. Since then, I have built a 22-year career in event production, research, project management, and fashion design.

5 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Improve Mental Wellbeing By Samanah Duran
While we build businesses, stress can sometimes build with it. Your ‘to-do list’ becomes as long as your days. Your workload is as full as your calendar. You start with an early morning appointment, then a meet-up with clients, then lunch, then a conference call with the content team, then outreach, then another meeting, later strategizing the marketing plan, followed by finishing that report, before making that fifth coffee of the day….. Breathe.
8 Ways to Deal With Judgmental People
They used to terrify me. Critical and judgmental people, I mean. I remember when one of my first articles went viral on MindBodyGreen.

I couldn’t believe what was happening. At first, I was thrilled. My work finally got visibility and traction.
