In this week's Transform Today, Paula sits down with legendary PR pioneer, author and changemaker Lynne Franks OBE. An instigator of London Fashion Week and pioneer of the groundbreaking What Women Want movement, Lynne has spent decades bringing people together, amplifying new voices, and proving that true influence is about far more than publicity or personal success. Her pioneering PR company represented some of Britain's most creative talents, helped shape modern culture, and later inspired the iconic comedy Absolutely Fabulous. Yet Lynne's greatest legacy may be her lifelong commitment to community, feminine leadership and creating a more compassionate world. From What Women Want to the global SEED movement and her latest initiative, We Grow, Lynne continues to champion collaboration over competition and circles of trust over top-down systems. Together, Paula and Lynne explore reinvention, spirituality, the wisdom of the post-menopause years, the wellbeing economy, and why meaningful change always begins at a grassroots level. This is a rich and inspiring conversation about purpose, belonging, and what becomes possible when we choose service, connection and community. Key Takeaways • Why London Fashion Week was about creating culture, not simply showcasing fashion. • The enduring vision behind What Women Want and why it matters now more than ever. • How the global SEED movement is empowering women through community and collaboration. • Why grassroots circles often create more lasting change than traditional institutions. • The power and wisdom available in the post-menopause years. • What a wellbeing economy could look like and why it offers hope for future generations. Direct Quotes "My commitment to be of service has just got stronger and stronger now, being now I hope in my wise woman phase..." "We've lost faith in the system, but we're gaining faith in the circle." "I think what women want mostly is to be safe. I think whether it's physically safe, whether it's being able to speak and be heard, and not have to be like parodies of men..." "If you want to change existing reality, you don't fight it, you create something better that people will naturally gravitate to." "I think that post-menopause is one of the most powerful times of our lives... that's when our hormones do settle and we can really move into our powerful, wise woman."
