This show is for brave hearted women who have begun their leadership journey or aspire to become a leader.
Corporate language is full of phrases that mean something other than what they say. And honestly? Sometimes you just have to laugh.
But beneath the humour, there are real challenges that women in corporate life face every day. Gender bias. Difficult personalities. Workplace bullying. Unhealthy conflict.
In this episode, we explore both. The memes that make us smile and the strategies that help us navigate what's genuinely hard. Because when you can see the absurdity and the seriousness, you become a much more grounded, effective leader.

Michelle shares some key lessons from 15 years of working in change:
Michelle talks about exhaustion and how to be more sustainable in your leadership.
The quiet, creeping depletion that so many high-achieving women carry around. The constant low-level hum of tiredness that we've normalised to the point where we barely notice it anymore.
This week's reflection:
Come find me on Instagram @womenwhochange.official. Tell me what sustainability means to you. Tell me what gets in the way. Tell me what helps.
In this episode, we talk about Sponsorship.
A mentor is someone who gives you advice. They meet with you periodically. They share their wisdom, help you think through challenges, and offer guidance based on their experience. Mentors are valuable.
A sponsor, on the other hand, is someone who uses their political capital on your behalf. They advocate for you in rooms you're not in. They put your name forward for stretch assignments. They defend you when you're not there to defend yourself. They stake their reputation on your potential.
Mentors talk to you. Sponsors talk about you.
Leading Through Uncertainty: The Psychology of Change
Each stage of the Change Curve needs something different from you.
The confidence conversation isn't wrong. Many of us do need to back ourselves more. But it's incomplete. It places responsibility on individuals while leaving systems untouched.

Come find me on Instagram @womenwhochange.official. Send me a DM. Let's continue this conversation.
