Welcome to Beyond Palatable: the Unapologetic Voices Podcast, hosted by author of ‘Beyond Palatable: a Manifesto for Unapologetic Women’, Sophie Jane Lee.

This episode was recorded live during her 13-hour extravaganza event on 2nd March 2026 the ‘Unapologetic Voices Marathon’. It featured fireside chats, marathon discussions, and truth-bomb talks from some of the boldest and most authentic voices in business. Truly an unapologetic day of delectable self-expression!

In this episode, Nicky Denson-Elliott, interviewed by the fantastic Mel Barfield, is a professional feminist, community builder, writer, podcaster, and mother. Through The Wilder Collective and her award-winning podcast, she helps women gain clarity, confidence, and visibility, turning intention into momentum and ambition into actionable outcomes. Her work combines feminism, creativity, and business, supporting purpose-driven leaders and founders to thrive.

In this episode, Nicky and Mel discuss internalised misogyny, and how systems we operate within can lead us to dim our voices through fear of judgment from others, and the judgments we put on ourselves.
