"If I wan't afraid, I would stop procrastinating and get on with the enormous task of starting my own tech start-up.  Great ideas don't always come from male, 20-something, computer science graduates. A 40 year old mother of three, can have a eureka moment."

"If I wasn’t afraid, I would stand up for myself and not worry about hurting people or friends because of it, and I wouldn’t care about being judged."

"I want to be able to stay focused enough to accomplish my goals no matter how challenging they may be or how long they will take to reach. I want to be able to feel like I am worthy enough to choose a profession like Clinical Pharmacy and not let the voices of my past belittle my ambitions."

"Some time ago, I didn’t even dare write here that if I wasn’t afraid, I would resign from my job. A few months later, I have let go of my job as the MD of a London-based branch of an international technology provider to do what I always dreamt of: traveling the world. I feel like my brave self again."

"Women still earn less than men. In my country, the average gross hourly earnings of women are by 22% lower than those of men according to the Federal Statistical Office. If I weren't afraid I would speak up and fight the gender pay gap."
