She-Suiteā„¢ Club Logo

Have you hit the ā€œglass ceilingā€ so many times, it feels as if the top of your head is flat? Has your journey through the executive ranks seem to have stalled out? Are your dedication and hard work going unrewarded? Are you feeling underappreciated or misunderstood in the workplace? If soā€¦welcome to The Club!

ā€œThis is THE place, where like-minded, executive-minded, forward-thinking women come to communicateā€”collaborateā€”and celebrate everything that it means to be a career-focused woman in a male-dominated work environment. This isnā€™t about ā€˜us vs. them.ā€™ This is about us making a name for ourselvesā€”taking a seat, and truly owning that seat, at the executive tableā€”and doing so not as ā€˜clonesā€™ of men, but as authentic, self-confident, self-empowered women.ā€

Are We Really Making Progress? Equal Pay Day

I have the dubious distinction of celebrating my birthday on the same day as Equal Pay Day this year šŸ„ŗ and Iā€™m torn between feeling pleased or downright furious.

The gap has decreased from 56 days last year, which is worth celebrating. šŸ™Œ

But itā€™s still 50 daysā€”almost two months of extra work every year, year after year. šŸ˜±

So, what is Equal Pay Day?

It marks the 50 extra days women have to work after 1 July 2024 to earn what the average man earned last financial year. And itā€™s worse when you consider that this figure doesnā€™t include bonuses, superannuation, or overtime, which often favour men.

The implications are lifelong:
ā–ŗ Less money to build wealth and secure your futureā€”starting from your first role out of school or uni
ā–ŗ Less money going into retirement and superannuation
ā–ŗ Greater reliance on the benevolence and goodwill of others
ā–ŗ Feeling like a second-class citizen as a result
ā–ŗ And possibly needing to work an additional 6.35 years just to retire with the same amount as a male peer

Australia has a serious issue right now with women retiring under the poverty line with limited savings.

Thatā€™s terrifying.

My 2025 birthday wish?

While Iā€™m glad to celebrate progress, I hope that Equal Pay Day is done and dusted by the end of July, with an even greater reduction forecasted for 2026.
Now, that would be worth celebrating.
