Poet and educator Peju Abuchi joins me to explore how creativity can disrupt corporate culture for the better. From performance poetry to boardroom conversations, Peju reveals why real leadership starts with humanity, reflection, and giving people permission to show up as their full selves. Featuring a powerful live reading of “We Are Not a Colour”, Peju sparks the questions, ‘Do we really need to speak to the global majority about pain and trauma all the time?' and 'What if we also spoke to our lineage, brilliance, and royalty, our ability to rise, lead, and claim our crowns as Kings and Queens, powerful by birthright, not narrative?' This episode will leave you thinking differently about identity, belonging, and what modern leadership really needs.

In this episode I welcome Charlie Kram to the podcast! Charlie helps professional women step into their full potential and own it—authentically and in harmony with every part of themselves through virtual coaching.

She’s especially passionate about supporting working mums and mums-to-be, guiding them to create their best lives with the balance and wholeness they truly deserve.

As Charlie puts it: “To find and keep our balance, we need to get clear on what that really means for us and then take the actions that allow us to become the best version of ourselves.”

In this episode, Charlie and I explore the power of Frequency Imprinting, a unique coaching approach that unlocks deeper access to the subconscious mind. She also shares how she uses the practice of quantum leaping to help women create lives beyond anything they thought possible.

What if beauty isn’t about self-expression, but about power? In this episode, I revisit Naomi Wolf’s groundbreaking 1990 book The Beauty Myth and explore its relevance today.

I share my own conflicted response to the book, unpack Wolf’s argument that the real issue is a lack of choice, and connect it to Pamela Anderson’s recent makeup-free appearances. What does it mean when a 56-year-old woman is called “brave” for showing her natural face? And why do wrinkles still provoke trolling in a culture that claims to celebrate “authenticity”?

In this episode:

• The core argument of The Beauty Myth and its lasting impact
• My personal reflections on choice, adornment, and self-esteem
• Pamela Anderson as a modern case study in beauty politics
• Why the act of going makeup-free is still perceived as courageous

Tune in to explore beauty, power, ageing, and the ongoing struggle for women’s freedom.
