Lucy and Karen explore the concept of empowerment, what it means personally and professionally, and why those who feel empowered from within are more likely to empower others around them.

• Empowerment has become a buzzword, but true empowerment is about internal agency and freedom of choice
• Leaders often say they want to empower teams but struggle to genuinely share power and trust others' decisions
• The worst relationships teach us the most about empowerment by showing us what disempowerment feels like
• Societal taboos and expectations create invisible barriers to women's empowerment
• Being empowered means having the courage to express needs, set boundaries, and question authority when necessary
• True empowerment isn't measured by external factors like job titles or possessions
• A practical step toward empowerment is identifying your authentic "I ams" and "I am nots"
• Empowerment requires community and safe relationships where you can be real, not just performative

Lucy and Karen explore how we can reclaim our power by embracing our age rather than seeing it as a problem to fix, sharing personal experiences of navigating ageism throughout their careers and personal lives. They discuss the liberating perspective shifts that come with midlife and the importance of finding champions at every stage.

• Finding confidence to be authentically yourself regardless of age
• Navigating workplace dynamics when being perceived as "too young" or "too old"
• Different approaches to handling ageism: downplaying versus amplifying femininity
• The joy of finding intergenerational female champions and becoming one yourself
• Shifting from caring about others' perceptions to caring more about what truly matters
• Recognizing that careers have natural cycles of growth, stability, and reinvention
• The painful reality of invisibility facing women in their 50s and 60s despite their expertise
• Finding inspiration in women like Edith Eager who found her true calling in her 40s and made her biggest impact in her 70s

We explore anger as a wise messenger that tells us something isn't right, showing up to inform us of injustice, boundaries crossed, or betrayal. Our podcast was born from the simmering rage that many women experience during perimenopause – anger that's been pushed down our whole lives but rises as hormones fluctuate.

• Recognising anger as information rather than something shameful or dangerous
• Developing techniques to channel anger constructively rather than destructively
• Understanding how anger often covers deeper emotions like sadness or hurt
• Learning the physical impact of suppressed anger including autoimmune issues and exhaustion
• Exploring how women historically were labelled "hysterical" for expressing natural emotions
• Discovering healthy ways to release anger through physical movement, sound, or creative expression
• Identifying the difference between reactive anger and channelling anger into passion and purpose
• Giving yourself permission to feel angry and discovering what your anger wants to tell you

When anger rises, welcome it. Give it permission to be there, listen to what it's telling you about your needs, then choose a healthy way to release it. Use the tapping points under your chin and lip to release shame about feeling angry, and ask yourself: "If anger had a voice in you right now, what would it say?"
