Unstoppable Women is a podcast that celebrates real stories of courage, clarity and reinvention - women who’ve faced turning points and found the power to move forward on their own terms.

In this episode, I sit down with Razane Boustany, a Lebanese project manager whose international career in the justice sector has taken her from Brussels to Rome to Qatar. We talk about what growth really looks like - the messy, human kind that happens when life pushes us to stop, reflect and start again.

This conversation is full of heart, honesty and perspective. Razane reminds us that transformation often starts in the quiet moments when we finally listen to ourselves.

Here’s what we cover:

🌍 How travel and culture shape the way we work and see the world⚖️ Why innovation in justice starts by listening to people, not systems🔥 Her experience of burnout and how she found her way through it💬 The power of language and reframing: turning “lows” into “GLOWTH”💫 The importance of surrounding yourself with the right energy and people

I finished this episode absolutely buzzing. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments often bring the clearest growth - if we’re brave enough to sit in them.

This week, I speak with Jordan Graham, a learning and leadership expert and doctoral researcher at the University of Bath exploring gender diversity in corporate leadership and the talent pipeline of women aspiring to board positions.

Jordan’s journey is one of curiosity, courage and quiet confidence - from falling into leadership development “by accident” to shaping global conversations on how women rise.

Together, we talk about:
💡 The power of serendipity in shaping careers
🔥 How to “put doubt in a box” and act before you feel ready
🌍 What Jordan’s research is uncovering about women’s pathways to leadership
🤝 The importance of mentors, networks and allyship
❤️ The guilt many women carry and how to turn it into growth

It’s a smart, inspiring and deeply human conversation about what it really means to be unstoppable - one bold, curious step at a time.

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Emily Gallagher, founder of Motherbrand Coaching, to talk honestly about one of life’s biggest pivots - returning to work after maternity leave. Together, we explore identity, comparison, guilt and the power of reframing your story as a mother and professional.

Unstoppable Women is part of my Unstoppable by Design movement - a series that shines a light on stories of personal change and the characteristics that help women keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at them. Each episode explores what makes a woman “unstoppable”: her courage, clarity, energy and ability to pivot through uncertainty with purpose.

I created the series to connect, inspire and normalise the messy, magnificent middle of personal transformation - the point between where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Whether you’re navigating a career change, rebuilding confidence, or finding your next step after a major life shift, these conversations are for you.

This episode marks a new chapter in Unstoppable Women - expanding to feature stories of courage and change from women around the world.
