Wonder Women is a podcast hosted by Melbourne-based coaches and consultants Nuala Dent and Jane Lowther. They explore the complex nature of power, especially as it relates to women in the workplace.

In this episode, they unpack why conversations about power can feel uncomfortable—particularly for women—due to societal norms and organisational expectations. Drawing on personal stories, including a revealing dream, they explore different forms of power and invite listeners to shift from “power over” to a more collaborative “power with” mindset.

They also examine the informal roles people take in groups and how these relate to power, encouraging reflection with questions like:

  • How do I feel about power—do I seek it or avoid it?
  • Where does my power come from?
  • When have I held back from speaking up, and why?

Future episodes will delve into the roots of these beliefs and share practical ways women can engage with power more effectively and authentically.

Wonder Women: Power Reimagined explores how women experience, express, and redefine power. Join us each week as we unpick old narratives, challenge expectations, and imagine new ways of leading that are grounded, connected, and bold.
