“…quite frankly, women in business have better things to do with their time, energy and brain power than obsess about whether they deserve a Tim Tam with their afternoon cup of tea…”
Diet Culture, Power Words, & Women in Business – Nina Mills
So Crisp Podcast
Disclaimer: In this episode, I refer to disabled people using people first language. That’s purposeful, because I’m disability proud. Nina uses the term “differently abled” which isn’t widely accepted in the disability community. My apologies for anyone this offends as we all strive to learn and do better.

And quite frankly, women in business have better things to do with their time, energy and brain power than obsess about whether they deserve a Tim Tam with their afternoon cup of tea.”
