Demystifying Financial Planning with Tim Borody
When Tim Borody asked a room of 25 women at our PDAC workshop what they felt when they heard "financial planning," the number one answer was overwhelmed.
This conversation picks up where that workshop left off.
Beth and Tim walk through what a comprehensive financial plan actually includes, how to find an advisor you trust, and why investments are only one piece of a much bigger picture.
Women + Investing: Understanding the Critical Minerals Landscape
Gordana Slepcev, CEO of Lomiko Metals, joined us on LinkedIn Live to talk about graphite, the largest component in every lithium-ion battery and one of the least understood minerals in the energy transition.
Gordana joins us in person at Women + Investing Live in Vancouver on May 6.
Women and Wealth: Understanding the Mining Raise Playbook
In this live session, we sit down with Alicia Milne, CEO of Q2 Metals Corp, and get real about how mining companies raise capital, navigate commodity cycles, and make investment decisions grounded in geology and market reality. Alicia walks us through Q2's lithium project acquisition during a market downturn and what that taught her about timing, research, and risk tolerance. This is why we created Women + Investing Live at PDAC on March 1, where Alicia and Tim Borody, Wealth Advisor at Advice First Wealth, help women understand financial foundations and how mining can play a role in investment portfolios. This is for educational purposes only and does not provide investment advice.

The Experience 2026: A Letter to the Women Who Are Ready for More
As we welcome the 2026 cohort of The Experience, Beth Borody reflects on why this journey exists. More than a leadership program, it is a space for women in mining to reconnect with their strength, their softness, and each other. It is about creating growth that feels real, rooted in connection, joy, and purpose.
The Changing Face of Mining: Mapping Your Impact
What if mining started with a map, not a model? In this episode of The Changing Face of Mining, Peggy Bell and Allison Koppel uncover how defining your “neighborhood” can transform community relationships, build trust, and create people-first mining projects that succeed because of values, not just resources.
A Rebuild Worth Talking About
