I love that Leena Nair, formerly at Unilever as head of human resources, and now at Chanel as CEO, is going beyond gender bias and is now advocating for a new kind of leadership, based on compassion, empathy, kindness, and benevolence. It’s not that she isn’t a champion for gender balance. During her time at Unilever the share of female managers increased to 50%, from 38%.

The results have been transformative – from shedding pounds and extra baggage to glowing skin and mental clarity. But this detox was about more than just physical changes. It shifted mindsets to understand that food is medicine. 🍎 Rather than relying on pills it shows you can reclaim your health through the power of fruits, leafy green, vegetables, and clean eating. Detoxing is far greater than eating healthy — it needs to be sustained over a period of time to allow the body to do a deeper clean of its organs. This is why doing it in a group is
