    Breaking Barriers & Building Workplaces Where Women Thrive

    In this powerful episode, gender equity specialist Samantha Sutherland explores the deep‑rooted structural barriers that shape women’s experiences at work and at home. Drawing on years of consulting with major organisations, Samantha explains why women often blame themselves for struggling — assuming they just need to be “more organised, more confident, more everything” — when the real issue is systemic. She highlights how gender pay gaps, biased policies, rigid work structures, and cultural expectations around caregiving all intersect to limit women’s ambition and wellbeing. Samantha also shares her personal journey into diversity consulting, her transition from corporate leadership roles, and how hosting the Women at Work podcast has deepened her understanding of what women truly need: respect, flexibility, development pathways, supportive partners, and workplaces designed for real lives. With practical reflections on ambition, guilt, co‑parenting, and mindset, this episode offers clarity and reassurance for any woman navigating the messy, overlapping worlds of career and caregiving.

    Trailblazing Women in Business: Liz Kaelin, Penny Locaso, Laetitia Andrac & Danielle Lewis

    What really happens in the early days of building a business? In this energising panel episode, we bring together four powerhouse women — Liz Kaelin, Penny Locaso, Laetitia Andrac and Danielle Lewis — to share the honest, unfiltered truths behind starting (and restarting) a business from scratch. If you're a woman in the early stages of business — or even just toying with the idea — this conversation is like pulling up a chair with your own personal board of directors. Expect wisdom, humour, vulnerability, and a whole lot of practical advice you can use today. In this episode you’ll learn: ✨ Why your first idea probably won’t work — and why that’s completely normal. Hear how each founder navigated pivots, false starts, and unexpected turns, and why iteration is your greatest superpower. ✨ How to test your idea quickly, cheaply and confidently. From landing pages to coffee chats to “sell it before it’s built,” the panel shares real strategies they still use in their own businesses. ✨ How to build resilience through micro‑bravery and rejection therapy. Penny explains how embracing tiny daily discomforts builds the courage required for entrepreneurship — including the story behind standing on stage in her swimsuit. ✨ Why support systems matter more than strategy. Liz and Laetitia reveal how choosing the right people to speak to — and avoiding “vested‑interest advice” — can fundamentally change your decisions and direction. ✨ Why you are not a statistic. Laetitia offers a powerful reminder that your vision isn’t limited by funding stats, systemic barriers, or industry norms. ✨ How to stay motivated when the journey feels slow. From reflective progress practices to redefining consistency as persistence, the panel shares tools for staying the course. About our panelists Liz Kaelin — Commercialisation expert helping women build sustainable, profitable models by avoiding common financial mistakes. Penny Locaso — Global speaker, educator and activist transforming the visibility of diverse female experts. Founder of Hacking Happy.
