    Ep #76 100 Successful Women | A Convo to inspire: Pam Rajapakse | The Power of stillness

    Contact Vivienne via Text Message In this deeply moving and empowering episode, I sat down with the incredible Pam Rajapakse - a woman whose strength, heart, and wisdom ripple far beyond the titles she carries. After losing 4 loved ones in ten months, facing work-related chaos, and sitting in the silence of lockdowns, Pam could’ve broken — but instead, she rose. From that stillness came her RISE framework, a tool to help women transform emotional chaos into calm, conscious leadership. In this episode, we talk about: 🌿 Finding clarity in the midst of grief and overwhelm 🌿 The strength of silence and stillness 🌿 How women can lead from within, even in their most broken moments 🌿 Raising resilient children and staying grounded through life’s transitions 🌿 And the power of living with intention ✨ This conversation not only inspired me, but also touched my daughter and her friends. 📍 Subscribe, hit the bell, and tune in 🟡 Let us know in the comments what resonated most with you 💛 🔗 Follow Pam: https://pamrajapakse.com.au/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pam-rajapakse-7815714/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/theturningpoint777/ Prefer to watch this episode in video? https://youtu.be/KFxvDhpv2tI?si=6qDrxGhUwBRHwSdb Support the show Follow Vivienne on socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/viviennefam/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivienne_fam/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vivienne.v.fam Website: www.viviennefam.com

    Ep #73 100 Successful Women | A Convo to inspire: Jo Cooper | From Abuse Survivor to Legal Trailblazer

    Contact Vivienne via Text Message In this episode, we sit down with the remarkable Jo Cooper; an Australian singer/songwriter, storyteller, and passionate social impact advocate whose courage changed laws and lives. Jo made national headlines after a five-and-a-half-year legal battle to keep her beloved dog, Angus, in her Sydney apartment. What began as a personal fight became a landmark case - Cooper v The Owners - Strata Plan No 58068 - that led to a historic court ruling protecting the rights of apartment residents across NSW. But Jo’s story doesn’t stop there. She’s the founder of The Good Warrior, a movement created to combat systemic abuse and empower people to speak up. She’s now advocating for the national implementation of Claire’s Law in Australia - an important step to protect individuals from domestic violence by providing access to vital information about a partner’s history. This conversation is raw, powerful, and deeply inspiring - a story of justice, resilience, and the unstoppable strength of one woman who refused to back down. 👇 Important Links: 📝 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/pages/epetition-closed.aspx?q=aPbjsva0wtWWAbMoLGbdHA 🌐 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐉𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 / 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫: www.thegoodwarrior.com.au YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7Csz0k3UzA_faiFOWfVpmA 💬 If this episode moved you, don’t forget to like, comment, and share.  Your support helps amplify voices that matter.
