"We urgently need books that show how women can lead us to a more peaceful, sustainable, and just world, and Sande Hart has given us just this with A Woman Who Futures A New Paradigm. Brava!"

"A Masterpiece of Evolutionary Leadership for a Planet at the Crossroads."
We are living through a massive systemic breakdown. The World Economic Forum warns that true gender parity is over 130 years away, while the UN's 2030 Agenda fractures under the weight of bureaucratic isolation. The old ways of leading simply cannot save us. In A Woman Who Futures a New Paradigm, Sande Hart delivers an astonishing, brilliant, and fiercely intelligent masterpiece that stretches the edges of leadership beyond recognition. This book demands a completely new identity and a new title for how we exist in the world.
Sande masterfully bridges the power of UNSCR 1325 with the urgent necessity of SDG 5, proving that women are not victims to be protected, but the primary architects of a new world order. Backed by hard global metrics, she highlights the 90% multiplier effect of investing in women and the undeniable 35% peace dividend that women bring to global survival.
This book demonstrates that true security is not measured by defence budgets, but by Relational Intelligence—the health of our soil, the safety of our children, and our collective reverence for life. Instead of teaching us to fit into broken systems, it provides an evolutionary blueprint to birth entirely new ones. It applies to every woman, across every family, business, and community.A Woman Who Futures a New Paradigm is the definitive manual for anyone ready to step onto the growing edge of human evolution. It has my highest endorsement."

“Every generation inherits a story about who we are and what is possible. Occasionally, a book comes along that asks us not simply to revise that story, but to imagine an entirely new one. A Woman Who Futures a New Paradigm is such a book.
Sande Hart has written an innovative book about women, leadership, and so much more! Drawing on years of lived experience and the collective wisdom of nearly one hundred voices, she invites us to reconsider leadership—not as power over others, but as relationship, deep listening, embodied wisdom, collaboration, compassion, and reverence for life.
What moved me most is Sande’s recognition that we cannot create a new world while unconsciously carrying the wounds, assumptions, and stories of the old one. Therefore, the journey outward requires a journey inward. Personal healing and cultural transformation become inseparable.
As a storyteller, I believe the stories we tell shape the world we perceive—and the world we ultimately create. Sande Hart invites us to tell a different story about women, power, leadership, and, ultimately, what it means to be human.
This is not simply a book about the future. It is an invitation to participate in creating it.”

Drawing together many voices, Sande explores the deeper connection between our inner work and the challenges facing humanity. I was honored to contribute in a small way to this work and to witness the courage, curiosity, and heart Sande has brought to it.

"We are living through a time of great challenge individually and collectively. With the Rise of the Divine Feminine and Higher Consciousness on the planet comes the intense energies of old, patriarchal systems breaking down. Yet despite the uncertainty, this time of upheaval and chaos, this collective dark night of the soul, is an opening to vast possibilities we may have only imagined. One way of life may be over, but a new way of being and doing will be birthed from the turbulence. And it is up to us as women to make that happen. As the old is crumbling, we feel an urgency for the new to be born in us and through us in the womb of creation as Women Futuring a New Paradigm. Where what is no longer useful can be witnessed, healed, and surrendered. Where what is most needed to co-create our New Future can be visioned, claimed, and called forth.
In this powerful compilation of women’s voices, Sande Hart reminds us of how critical it is that our collective female voice leads the way as we shift the social systems of patriarchy and privilege to new systems that support the common good. The feminine naturally leads not from a place of competition, scarcity, and power over – but rather from a place of cooperation, abundance, and power with. From a place of love and compassion. As such, the feminine is shifting the global paradigm from one of dominance and individualized salvation to one of collective awakening and service to all beings.
Regardless of our race, religion, age, or culture – we are all women. We are sisters. We are strong, courageous, and determined. And together, as Women Who Future a New Paradigm, we will co-create our New and Better Future for Mother Earth, ourselves and our families, all generations, and for the Soul of Humanity."

"As the feminine energies of Creation call us all forth into our nurturing, intuitive, compassionate and empathic selves women and men meet in a higher frequency that enables us to answer the call to co-create the new future Sande is opening the doors to with this inspired exploration into the heart and psyche of the precious gift called humanity."
Connie Baxter Marlow, Co-Author, "The Trust Frequency: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm"
"What I have heard, when I listen deeply to the pulse of the times we are living in, is a deep longing for a return to truth, to balance and to union. This re-union is dependent on the rise of the feminine energy and feminine way of leading. I choose to believe that the feminine and masculine DO exist in harmony, we are just not expressing these harmonics on the human plane. A Women Who Futures a New Paradigm is a brilliant invitation for each of us to cast the net of our personal curiosity far and wide to be a part of this shift back to our source, our center, our most truthful way of being that honors both the masculine and the feminine within each one of us. Thank you, Sande for pouring your heart and soul into the creation of this book. It is guaranteed to activate new welssprings with you as you read. "
