Reflecting on Session 2 of the NextGen Women Leaders Fellowship

I’m incredibly grateful to the ULG team for organizing the second session of the NextGen Women Leaders Fellowship. The care and thoughtfulness that goes into creating this space for us is deeply appreciated.

In this session, we explored the power of journaling. Although I wasn’t able to join from the very beginning, I still walked away with so much insight. One moment that particularly resonated with me was when the speaker reminded us to reflect on ourselves—even the small things. It was a gentle but powerful call to slow down and truly be present with who we are.

What touched me the most was the closing moment: we were encouraged to hug ourselves as a form of self-love and appreciation. That simple gesture made me feel calm, seen, and grounded.

I’m looking forward to continuing this journey of learning and growth with such an inspiring community of women.
