✨ THE F*CK IT LIST Last week, something magical happened. Twenty-five brilliant, sparkly women gathered in a room full of sequins, mischief and possibility — all thanks to the unstoppable Nishma Patel Robb 🪩⚡️ It wasn’t a networking event. It wasn’t a workshop. It was a release. A reminder. A reclaiming. A space where we could say “f*ck it” to the stories that keep us small… And “hell yes” to the things that light us up. We shared our joys. Our secret passions. For me: connecting good people and musical theatre. Obviously.) And we shared our “f*ck its” for 2026. Mine? Playing it too small. Not standing up for my worth. Not owning the value I know I bring. It felt equal parts terrifying and liberating to say it aloud — and then have 24 brilliant women nod back with that look of: “Oh my god I had no idea you did that too.” There was laughter. There were goosebumps. There were tears. There may or may not have been sequins stuck to my coat the following morning. But above all, there was connection — real, deep, electric connection — the kind that reminds you what you’re capable of when you stop apologising for your light. So here’s my promise for 2026: No more playing small. No more discounting my value. No more dimming. F*ck it — I’m done with that. And here’s my hope for all of us: May we create (and enter) more rooms like this. Thank you Nish, and all the phenomenal women in that room, for reminding me who I am when I stop getting in my own way. ✨ Here’s to full-sparkle 2026. Great to see you Justine Hendry Anna Cairns Amanda Baker Joanna Howes Catherine Peacock and great to meet all of you that made it too and shared your incredible F*ck its.
