Fire and Forte: Recent Episodes
Hannah M
I hit 40 and had never felt so good. This was no accident though.
Genuine contentment had taken time but after working on myself, getting into the right career and spending more time and energy on what felt good, that spark was sparking.
Fire and Forte is about finding what fires you up, your passion, and finding your strength.
Sometimes its about digging deep, getting over hurdles, standing up for yourself or those you care for – but its about going after life as the brilliant woman you are.

There is a great big opportunity to make the world a place built for everyone as products and experiences are digitised. A less known fact is that the iPhone has enabled hundreds of thousands of people with hearing and vision needs to navigate the day to day more independently than before.
Sassy Wyatt who lost her sight when she was a teenager, explains to Hannah what more brands can do to change the game when it comes to accessibility - from considerations when building apps and websites to the end to end experience of booking a holiday.
Thank you to the wonderful Sassy!

Hello! Welcome to 2024. After interviewing 40 incredible women 'on Fire' over 40, I was both inspired and aware that we could lose such formidable talent if we don't keep up with the skills needed in the future.
Women are forecast to lose out in the Tech Revolution, and I am not having a bar of it. However we need to find the time to upskill in key areas to navigate a quickly changing world.
I'll tell you more in today's first episode.
Hope you join me for this journey each week.

CEO and Co-Founder of the Growth Activists Rosanna Iacono knew she could use her wealth of experience from global brands such as Nike and Levi's to make the world a better place.
Helping businesses become B-Corp certified - a prestigious achievement signifying the business has met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability - has meant she is doing that in one of the most impactful ways.
Sustainability and ESG transformation is central to most companies strategies, but getting there is complex. That is where the Growth Activists come in.
Turning 40 was one such turning point and her quest to use her business acumen for good took her to become a Board member for numerous Not-For-Profits beginning with Dress For Success. Her leadership journey is enthralling - and it's no surprise it is nowhere near ending with her recently being invite to join Chief Executive Women (CEW).
In a world where you can be anything, being just a little bit as purpose driven and courageous as Rosanna could seriously change things up.

Doing the right thing was something Priya could not stop thinking about when she turned 40. Working in IT and across the Tech sector, her IT Project business was doing well. But helping other women less fortunate than her was her calling.
Priya founded Punar, an ethical textiles business, knowing consumers also wanted to do the right thing. And that buying textiles for the home or as gifts was one way this could be done.
Buy an item from Punar supports a community of weavers who are paid fair wages and and enjoy thriving careers. The handloom fabric is used high quality recycled yarn, developed through upcycling textile landfill waste.

Jeroo
Ever wondered where those cute baby clothes and little trainers end up after children grow out of them? Jeroo Doodhmal began investigating this, realising how much waste suddenly took up her home when she had her daughter.
She found 15 million shoes are bought every year for children, and 85% end up in landfill. Made of many little parts, the shoes are not able to break down, so the problem is significant.
Driven by this mammoth problem, she set up Pip & Henry, a children's footwear brand made of innovative materials that can be reused.
Not an easy ride as Covid hit, but Jeroo talks us through how she combined skills from her corporate career spanning Barclays Bank and the UK retailer J. Sainsbury's along with innate creativity to create a compelling offer - that has caught the attention of John Lewis and numerous innovation prizes in the UK.

As one of the biggest fitness influencers in Bondi, Australia, Cassey Maynard had adopted a certain persona.
This included breast implants and a rigourous workout regime. Her life looks radically different now after a transformative journey triggered my her Mum's cancer diagnosis. Working on who she really was and what she needed to work through took deliberate action - but her sense of peace and harmony is palpable.
Cassey talks about the journey that included removing her breast implants and slowing everything down - from her exercise regime to the hustle of the social media influencer life.
Her life now includes rituals centred around her spiritually, and her cycle - a life changing way to be that respects our womanhood and needs.
Moving to Byron Bay from Bondi and becoming a mother are all steps of her beautiful journey.

Hannah is joined by previous guests of Fire and Forte to discuss Ageism.
Let's get beyond the headlines. What is Ageism? And what do we do about it? Some members of the Fire and Forte crew got together to discuss the topic, and the conversation was insightful & at times surprising.
-
What is the reality of ageing, versus the stereotype?
-
How does the media shape this?
-
What can life look like in your 40's and 50's? How can different generations work together?
-
Does the experience differ for men and women?
-
How can we make workplaces more inclusive?
Do comment and share your views and experiences, we'd love to know more. Let's be the change we want to see!

Natasha is a Research Fellow in Psychology at the UNSW Ageing Futures Institute. Starting her career in fashion, she later decided to study psychology which sparked an interest in the attitudes and stereotypes towards ageing.
Discussing the predominantly negative stereotypes we're fed from a young age, Natasha shares a number of studies and her own research that explain why that can impact our personal experience of ageing, and how we internalise cultural attitudes.
Natasha spells out the need for connection, and shares that the feelings many experience as they age of empowerment, confidence, and a sense of hitting your stride is common. Not what we’d expect if we'd swallowed the cultural kool aid.
With the UN stating that ageism is a global challenge, the question is how do workplaces and society as a whole need to evolve to become more diverse and inclusive?

In an age where women were told "you can have it all", Danika Johnston's media career grew vertically, at the same time as she was raising her family. Throw in a pandemic and juggling it all was a challenging reality many women can relate to.
It was when she reached 42 that she found a new lease of life - focusing on getting fit and healthy, and unleashing her creativity on a side hustle - a fashion label and online store.
Now at 46, she is feeling sharp and is obsessed with doing the right thing.
This clarity and purpose is being put to good use as she is part of the pioneering team behind new social media platform WeAre8 - the social media app that is good for People and Planet. Changing the way social media is done, it encourages quality content and giving back - citizens get paid to watch ads and can donate to good causes once they have done so.
Thanks Danika for sharing Life Lessons, Self Care, How to be the Best Leader, the Realities of Parenthood and the Importance of Tribe and Self Belief. Fire at 40.

40 year-old Nicki Price is unrecognisable from 29 year-old Nicki. The Publicist and founder of Priceless Media is an expert in promoting the careers of her clients. But her personal transformation is one of the best stand out stories.
Dealing with low self esteem and confidence issues throughout her younger years, it was approaching her 40th birthday that made her realise it would take action to change. She embarked on a period of personal development that has utterly changed both the way she sees herself, and the direction her life has gone in.
Nicki talks about understanding and tackling the ego, recovering from a marriage breakdown and the self care habits she swears by. Her story from "housewife to Hollywood and business owner" shows the value in unearthing what she calls 'your authentic self'.

"If it can happen to me it can happen to anyone"
Catherine was in her mid thirties when she met her former husband. In hindsight, there were concerning behaviours throughout the relationship, but due to various factors many can empathise with, she tried to make it work. Separation eventually occurred when she was able to admit this was a toxic relationship.
However it was at this point she found out that financial abuse had occurred right under her nose.Catherine (identity protected) is passionate that her experience can help others. She founded the Instagram account and community @financialrespect to help raise this often taboo topic. Raising awareness that it is never too late to get the control you need of your finances, and how to help identify if behaviours are controlling, and damaging.
Thanks to Catherine for sharing her personal story and for many practical tips around money management and relationships.

Founding a Tech Start-Up was not something Lawyer Jeannie-Marie expected even 3 years ago.However, her personal experience of having her mother, Robyn, in aged care inspired her.Communication was an ongoing challenge relying on phone calls between the care home staff and her family, which could easily be missed but also take up the time of a nurse that could be caring for a resident with that time instead.Brenna was born - an application that redefines the communication between staff and family in Aged Care. Jeannie-Marie shares the approach she took building a truly excellent product that provides a solution to all parties. Diligent in her approach, validating and researching , Jeannie-Marie also talks us through the people and networks you can find when you don't believe you're 'very technical'.Find more information about Brenna here:https://brenna.com.auhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannie-marie-noyce-0bba182aFollow us on Fire and Forte with Hannah Maude:https://www.linkedin.com/company/fire-and-forte/https://www.instagram.com/fireandforte/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-maudeauwww.fireandforte.com#startup #womenintech #agedcare #womenover40 #female founder #technology #aging #app #start-ip #healthtech #agedtech

There's a Tech Skills shortage, a problem with productivity and a gigantic gender wealth gap. There are however, millions of women, in work and in need of work who have life and work experience that should they upskill or retrain in tech areas, could make a serious dent in such areas.
Fire and Forte has been a passion project of Host Hannah Maude, sharing the achievements of women 'on Fire' over 40. It quickly transpired there is NO shortage of such women. Problem solvers, innovaters, creators, educators - going after what they see the world needs and making stuff happen. A seriously impressive cohort.
One of their gifts is experience, and the knowledge and confidence that comes with that. Evidence points to this being hugely beneficial to society & the economy. However, at the same time women can find it hard to get back into work after caring for children, or may find their roles in work seemingly more impacted by tech, potentially risking jobs in the future. Ironically, technical or digital roles are more likely to be flexible and well paid, kinda helpful as a working parent, no?
With the ambition to make the most of this brilliance and give opportunity to rewarding, successful careers, we're kicking off our first Tech Week.
Speaking to Industry Experts and women who have got into Tech later in their careers, we want to find out what it's like to upskill or retrain. We can then move the conversation into HOW we help do more of this.
Bring on an interesting week!
Contact us if you'd like to know more, share your story or have any questions.

After a decade driving representation at tech companies such as Google, she turned 40 and decided it was time to pause and reflect. Now on a well deserved career break, she talks to us about her career, and what could be next.
The under representation of women in Tech, in Leadership, and across business is one the industry continues to grapple with. Sherika has been on the front line, fighting for change, and shares HOW we can actually make change happen. CLUE - it includes all of us, not just HR policies.
From Banking to the White House to Silicon Valley, Sherika has vision and determination. She also knows of the personal impact it can make.

Katy Graczer is on fire at 49. The original party girl, brought up in North London, had begun drinking as a teenager, and her love of fun meant margaritas were part of life. As her corporate career took off she found drinking was wrapped into her identity - drinking at conferences or when travelling for work.
At 45, however, fed up with the anxiety and wasted time, she stopped, and hasn't drunk since. Katy shares with us her top tips for quitting alcohol, whether for abit or forever.
Another unlock to relieving anxiety is the way we breathe. Katy and her partner Dean run The Power of Breath in Bondi, Australia, witnessing incredible transformations in people. Katy talks us through breath work and how quickly we can notice where we are holding tension and how to change it in the moment.
As a yogi, Katy is passionate about making time for yourself for your wellbeing. The mum of two boys, she also has 2 step children, and two beloved rescue dogs. Katy is living her dream life, and can not imagine missing a moment of it.
Healthy, happy, and loads of fun. Enjoy watching Katy G!
