I’m bringing the part of me that spent years building quietly in the background.

Not because I need another networking event in my calendar.

Because I know what it feels like to build something steadily, mostly behind the scenes, while backing yourself, questioning yourself, and still showing up the next day because people are relying on you.

The women in that room aren’t just “business owners”.

They’re the ones making decisions, carrying the mental load, leading teams, trying new things, getting things wrong, fixing them, and still finding a way forward.

That matters to me.

For years, I wanted more rooms where women could be honest about business. Not just the wins. Not just the shiny launch photos. The actual stuff. The messy middle. The decisions. The growth. The “how are you really doing this?” conversations.

That’s what I think Fuchsia Friday gives us.

And for me, being there is a reminder that while I might naturally be the behind-the-scenes person, I still belong in the room.

Fuchsia Friday. 29 May. Crown Towers Melbourne. Limited seats.

Outsourcing helps you abandon the mindset of "I can do it all myself" and offload boring back-office tasks and hand them over to professionals with better expertise and reasonable costs.

I spent more than 10 years building a business that let me stay behind the scenes.

Which is very on brand for me.

I’m much more comfortable in the background, fixing the accounts, getting the BAS sorted, cleaning up Xero, checking the payroll, and helping business owners feel like their numbers aren’t a flaming wheelie bin rolling down a hill.

But here’s the thing.

The longer I’ve worked with business owners, the more I’ve realised how many people are carrying stress they don’t need to carry.

They’re guessing.
They’re avoiding their reports.
They’re hoping the BAS is right.
They’re trying to grow while their accounts are sitting in the corner giving them side-eye.

And I care about that.

So in 2026, I’m saying yes to being more visible.

I’m proud to be part of Fuchsia or Fact at the Beam Awards Fuchsia Festival, alongside a room full of women who are building, leading, learning and doing the work.

Some rooms drain you.

Some rooms make you remember why you started.

Fuchsia Friday is one of those rooms.

150 female business owners.
17 expert speakers.
Real conversations.
Big energy.
No pretending everyone has it perfectly together.

I’ll be there as part of Fuchsia or Fact, and I’d love to see you there too.

This isn’t a room for business cards and awkward small talk.

I’ve been to plenty of business events where everyone is doing the polite nod, the quick pitch, the “we should catch up sometime” thing, and then everyone disappears back into their own busy little business cave.

This feels different.

Fuchsia or Fact brings together 150 female business owners, 17 expert speakers, and a live, honest debate-style format that isn’t about pretending we’ve all got it perfectly together.

And I love that.

I’m there as a presenter, yes. But honestly, I also want to be in that room as a business owner. I want to hear what other women are thinking, what they’ve learned, what they disagree with, and what they’ve stopped tolerating in business.

Because that’s where the good stuff is.

If you’re a woman in business who wants more than another pretty event, if you want connection, energy, smart conversations and a room that actually gets it, this is for you.

I’m not usually the loudest person in the room.

I’m usually the person behind the scenes, making sure the numbers make sense, the accounts are under control, and business owners aren’t quietly losing their minds over Xero, payroll, BAS or cash flow.

So yes, being part of Fuchsia or Fact feels a little outside my usual comfort zone.

But when I came across the Beam Awards community, there was something different about it. It wasn’t just another business event full of polished answers and surface-level networking. It had real women, real conversations, smart business owners, big energy, and a room that actually felt like it had substance.

I’m Lauren Micale, Director of Bayside Admin & Bookkeeping. I’m a registered BAS Agent and bookkeeper, and I work with business owners who want their accounts handled properly, so they can stop guessing and get back to running the business they actually wanted to build.

And that’s why this event matters.

Because sometimes the best business conversations happen when you’re in the right room, with the right women, talking about the things we usually try to figure out alone.

Today, I encourage you to take a moment just for you.💚

Whether it’s enjoying a cup of tea in silence, reading a few pages of a book, taking a short walk along the Manly Esplanade, or simply sitting and breathing deeply for a few minutes and listening to the rain outside - do something that brings you peace and joy.

Self-care is not selfish; it's necessary. Let's prioritise our mental health not just today, but every day.
