    In this episode, we delve into the dynamics of power through Barry Oshry’s powerful framework of Uppers, Middles, and Bottoms, revealing how systemic roles shape behaviour, perception, and tension. We explore how people can use power with greater awareness from wherever they sit in the system, and how privilege and intersectionality influence these dynamics. A thought-provoking conversation for anyone seeking to lead, relate, or intervene more consciously within complex systems.

    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.

  • Unlearning Patterns and Building Resilience

    What happens when you begin to step into your power. In this episode, we explore the resistance that often arises when you begin to change - both from within and from those around you - and how to navigate it with awareness, courage, and clarity.

    We name the subtle and overt ways power is policed - especially for women - and how fear of judgement, loss, or failure can hold us back. From childhood labels like “bossy” to adult stereotypes like “aggressive” or “too emotional,” we unpack the social scripts that get activated when you challenge the status quo.

    More importantly, we offer strategies to build resilience so you can keep moving forward: recognising your triggers, finding support, practicing self-compassion, and responding differently.

  • Power Scripts: What We Learn Before We Lead
    Apr 8 2025

    In this episode of Wonder Women: Power Reimagined, we look at how childhood, school, and social life form our earliest 'power scripts' - the often-unseen patterns that shape how we respond to authority and step into leadership today.

    For women in leadership, these inherited scripts can influence how power is perceived, claimed, or resisted in professional settings. The journey to reimagining power begins in the quiet recognition of the stories that have shaped us. In this episode, we reflect on how our early imprints play out at work, how they shape our experiences of hierarchy, conflict, and influence, and what becomes possible when we begin to question them.

  • Why Power Matters

    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.
