About this listen

Like most teenagers, Sienna Boyce is still figuring out what she wants to be - an actor, scientist, rugby player, singer, chef… maybe even a TikTok star. So, she’s teamed up with her Dad, Ben Boyce, to chat with incredible women from New Zealand and around the world who’ve built inspiring careers.

Each episode dives into their journeys - from humble beginnings to big achievements - and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. The goal? To give Sienna (and young people everywhere) the confidence to dream big and discover what’s possible.

And the best part? It proves that even the most successful people didn’t have it all figured out when they were young either!
