In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, Hannah sits down with Hattie Hasan MBE — trailblazing plumber, author, and founder of Stopcocks Women Plumbers. From being the first woman at Leeds College of Building, to creating rainwater harvesting systems in drought-hit Kenya, to launching the Register of Tradeswomen, Hattie has spent three decades turning barriers into platforms.

We explore how water quite literally creates civilisation, why visibility and equity in the trades matter, and how self-employment can be both empowering and isolating. Hattie shares stories of resilience, innovation, and community — from building tanks out of gabion baskets to empowering survivors of abuse through DIY Champs.

This is an episode about water, work, and what it takes to change an industry that wasn’t built with women in mind.

In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, Sajna and Hannah explore: 💡 Why equity and inclusion still get stuck in “tick-box” mode — and how to change it 🧠 The mindset shifts that help women (and especially South Asian women) rise, without burning out 🌟 “The Imposter Monster” — and why feeling uncomfortable is actually a sign of growth 🤝 Building your “personal boardroom” to co-elevate with others instead of going it alone 🚫 Why workplace culture has to outlast individual leaders — and how to make systemic change

Sajna brings honesty, humour, and hard-won wisdom to a conversation that proves: representation matters, mindset matters, and true culture change is always possible.

Accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought - and Luis Canto e Castro is here to prove why.

Founder of Unstoppable Living Limited, multi-award-nominated accessibility consultant, coach, and disability advocate, Luis is known for his fearless honesty and his mission to make inclusion real, practical, and impactful.

In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, we dive into:

• Why accessibility has to be built in from the start - not retrofitted later at huge cost
• The surprising digital barriers costing businesses billions in lost revenue (and how to fix them)
• Why “reasonable adjustments” are anything but reasonable - and the policies that actually work
• How AI is becoming an enabler for disabled professionals (and why it’s not about replacement)
• Plus: why Luis thinks bringing your hobbies to work could transform culture

This is a conversation full of blunt truths, practical insights, and a fresh perspective on what it takes to move accessibility beyond tick-box exercises and into everyday business success.
