There’s something powerful about a woman who refuses to shrink herself into one title.
This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating five women from the HTE community who embody exactly that.
Not because they’re perfect. Not because they “have it all together.” But because they move through life with intention.
They build businesses.
They raise families.
They pivot.
They lead.
They evolve.
And they don’t apologise for wanting more than one version of themselves.
At Here, There, Everywhere, we talk a lot about identity — about being the woman behind the mum, the founder behind the brand, the version of you that exists beyond the titles. These women represent that in real time.
Different industries. Different life stages. One common thread: they show up fully.
Five women. One community.
Lisa Messenger
Entrepreneur and Author
Lisa Messenger built a media company on the belief that storytelling can shift culture — and she’s spent her career proving it.
She’s never been interested in fitting in. Never waited for a seat at the table.
“I never set out to fit in. I set out to make something that didn’t exist yet.”
Her journey hasn’t been linear. It’s been bold. Reinventive. At times uncomfortable. And that’s exactly the point. She reminds us that backing yourself — especially when it feels risky — is often the catalyst for real impact.
Lindy Klim
Model and Entrepreneur
Lindy Klim has moved seamlessly between fashion, business and motherhood — not by chasing trends, but by staying anchored in who she is.
There’s a quiet confidence in the way she shows up.
“Style is not a surface thing. It’s how you move through every room you enter.”
For Lindy, style is identity. Business is instinct. And evolution is part of the process. She embodies that layered reality so many women navigate — strength and softness existing side by side.
Lisa Jones
Founder, She-com
Lisa Jones didn’t just build a business — she built a platform for other women to grow.
In an industry often driven by comparison, she chose collaboration instead.
“When women support each other, entire industries shift.”
Her work in digital commerce is rooted in community. In the belief that there is room for everyone — and that scale doesn’t have to come at the expense of connection.
Courtney McIntosh
Founder, The Inarra
Courtney McIntosh approaches fashion the way she approaches life — intentionally.
As founder of The Inarra, she balances creativity with structure, aesthetic with strategy. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels accidental.
“Fashion is a language. I choose my words carefully.”
Her leadership reflects a new kind of entrepreneurship — considered, disciplined, quietly powerful.
Genevieve Day
Forbes 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur
Genevieve Day represents the next wave of leadership — clear, values-driven and unafraid.
She challenges timelines. She challenges expectations.
“Age is irrelevant. Intention is everything.”
Her presence is a reminder that impact isn’t defined by age or stage of life. It’s defined by clarity.
These five women are only a small snapshot of the incredible women inside this community.
Every day, there are women within HTE building businesses, raising families, starting again, evolving — often quietly.
They may not always be featured.
They may not always be recognised.
But they are here.
They are there.
They are everywhere.
