    E22: E22: When Life Says Slow Down | Amanda Webb on Health, Boundaries and Putting Yourself First

    What happens when your body tells you something you have been reluctant to admit to yourself? That perhaps it's time to slow down. In this deeply personal solo episode of Her Time, Her Place, Amanda Webb shares an unexpected health scare that began with chest pain on a flight home from Melbourne and ended with an overnight stay in the emergency department at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Thankfully, the tests found no serious cardiac issue, but the experience prompted some important reflection. With a busy career, multiple commitments and a natural enthusiasm for saying yes, Amanda had already been feeling stretched. Perhaps it was time to listen to what her body was telling her. You'll uncover: • Why Amanda took the chest pain seriously, and the relief of receiving reassuring results after a night of hospital tests. • How a full diary, competing commitments and the difficulty of saying no had left her feeling increasingly stretched. • Why rescheduling a planned podcast interview became an immediate lesson in putting her own health first. • Amanda's gratitude for Australia's public healthcare system and the wonderful professionals who cared for her. • The practical changes she is making, from taking a holiday and spending more time outdoors to protecting her energy and making space to rest. Amanda also reflects on the importance of mental health and wellbeing, following a weekend supporting One in Five, a charity funding medical research into mental illness. For women who love what they do, thrive on being busy and sometimes struggle to put themselves first, this episode is a reminder that health deserves a place at the top of the priority list. Sometimes claiming your time and place means giving yourself permission to slow down, say no and take care of yourself. As Amanda closes this episode, "Stay well, stay curious, stay kind, especially to yourself." Wondering if it's your time, your place? Her Time, Her Place is hosted by Amanda Webb, CEO of Xplore for Success, where she helps women build the clarity and confidence to lead their own next chapter.

    E21: E21: Her Time Away | Taking Her Time, Her Place Beyond the Podcast

    What happens when a podcast idea starts taking on a life beyond the podcast? In this solo episode, Amanda reflects on 21 episodes of Her Time, Her Place and shares how its central idea is beginning to extend beyond the conversations, including two very different women’s travel experiences planned for 2027 through Xplore for Success. You’ll uncover: • What the first 20 Her Time, Her Place conversations have taught Amanda about taking risks, navigating setbacks and not waiting for everything to feel perfectly aligned. • Why recording Episode 20 with her 24 year old daughter Olivia brought a different perspective to finding your time and place at the beginning of a career. • What Amanda has learned from almost a decade of hosting Purpose and Passion trips for women, combining travel, culture, connection and giving back. • A first look at Purpose and Passion, Laos 2027, travelling through Vientiane, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang, with cultural experiences, community contribution, women led social enterprises and time deliberately set aside to pause. • The thinking behind Her Time Away, Phuket 2027, a new seven night hosted experience in April. Less itinerary, more freedom, with time for shared experiences alongside the pool, spa, a book, a cocktail or simply doing nothing at all. Amanda also shares that she is heading to Melbourne for the annual One in Five Extremely Long Lunch, where she will host a table of fabulous women in her orbit, some of whom you’ll hear from in future episodes. One in Five funds medical research into mental illness and was co founded by Amanda’s friend, colleague and Episode 8 guest Lou Wardlaw, who is now Chair.

    E20: Finding Your Place | Olivia Rensford on Leaving Home, Genetics and Starting a Career in IVF

    What does Her Time, Her Place look like when you are only just beginning to find yours? In this very personal episode, Amanda Webb sits down at home with her 24 year old daughter, Olivia Rensford, one year into her professional career. They go back to Olivia’s final year of school during COVID, the decision to leave Sydney for Canberra and ANU, her growing fascination with genetics, and the series of jobs and experiences that eventually led her to embryology at Genea. It is a conversation between mother and daughter about independence, work, money, family influence and beginning to understand the kind of life you want to build. This episode is for young women making decisions about study, work and what comes next, and for the parents watching them begin to make those decisions for themselves. It is also a reminder that finding your place rarely happens in one big moment. Sometimes it happens through leaving home, trying things, working hard, changing direction and discovering what matters to you along the way. The biggest leaps can begin simply by starting to claim your own time and place. Olivia Rensford studied genetics at the Australian National University and is one year into her professional career at Genea, working within embryology and IVF. Her path there included hospitality, retail, medical reception and university tech support, experiences she credits with helping prepare her for her first professional role. You’ll uncover: • How finishing Year 12 during COVID prompted Olivia to look beyond the path she had assumed she would take and consider studying away from home. • Why an early love of animals and biology evolved into an interest in genetics, CRISPR and ultimately a degree at ANU. • What leaving Sydney for Canberra taught Olivia about independence, responsibility and building a life somewhere new. • How years of seemingly unrelated jobs, from hospitality and retail to medical reception and tech support, gave Olivia the confidence and skills to land her first professional role. • What Olivia is learning from working in IVF, where science, precision, teamwork and care come together in ways she did not fully anticipate at university.

    E18: When Passion Overrides the Fear | Leonie Rothwell on Bravery, Curiosity and Creating OLOVO

    What happens when curiosity keeps pulling you towards something new? For Leonie Rothwell, some of the most important chapters began before she knew exactly where they would lead. Amanda Webb sits down with Leonie to trace a career that began in government and moved through learning and development, organisational performance, executive coaching, mental health leadership, small business start-ups and entrepreneurship. Leonie shares how she tested her first business idea while still employed, what she learned from leading people whose technical expertise exceeded her own, why relationships have become the foundation of every business she builds and what happens when passion overrides the fear. The conversation then turns to OLOVO, created from Leonie’s growing awareness of how many women are carrying invisible responsibilities, navigating pressure and change, and reaching the point of depletion. You’ll uncover: • How an early role improving processes sparked Leonie’s fascination with facilitation, learning and helping people work differently. • Why Leonie tested entrepreneurship through a side business first, allowing passion to become stronger than the fear of leaving employment. • What leading psychologists in mental health taught her about influence, trust and leadership when you are not the technical expert in the room. • How her father’s serious illness during the early stages of building a business changed her perspective on success, failure and what really matters. • Why Leonie created OLOVO, bringing together community, somatic practices, breathwork and movement to help women reconnect with themselves and create space for what comes next. This conversation is for women who are curious about their next chapter, particularly those who have spent years carrying responsibility and are beginning to question what they want now. Leonie’s story is a reminder that you do not need the entire plan before you begin. Sometimes the biggest leaps start with getting quiet enough to hear yourself, then claiming your own time and place. Leonie Rothwell is a entrepreneur and whose career has spanned government, learning and development, organisational performance, executive coaching and mental health leadership. She is the founder of OLOVO, a women focused business and community bringing together somatic practices, breathwork, movement, workshops and retreats.

    E17: Living a Life That Fits | Alex Rowberry on Reinvention, Resilience and Trusting Your Intuition

    What happens when the life you built no longer gives you peace? Alex Rowberry knows what it takes to leave, rebuild and begin again. Amanda Webb reconnects with Alex, more than two decades after they worked together in Sydney. Alex describes feeling as though she has lived several different lifetimes, from Air New Zealand and recruitment, to raising twin daughters in Greece, returning to study Chinese medicine while they were young, and building a new career as a Neuropuncturist. Sitting with the choices behind those changes, Alex talks about resilience, motherhood, intuition, the discipline of starting again and her determination to create a life with more peace. You’ll uncover: • How a turbulent childhood shaped Alex’s resilience and ability to keep adapting when life changed. • What raising twin daughters and homeschooling in Greece taught her about responsibility, independence and the need to create peace in her own life. • Why Alex followed her intuition into Chinese medicine, then took on years of study while raising young children. • How her interest in neuroscience led to neuropuncture, a practice she describes as combining acupuncture, electrostimulation and neuromodulation. • Why Alex sees discomfort, continued learning and trusting yourself as essential parts of growth, whatever your age. This conversation is for women who have lived enough life to know that reinvention rarely arrives neatly. Alex’s story is about recognising when something no longer fits, having the courage to change it, and trusting that a very different life can still come together. Sometimes the biggest leaps start with claiming your own time and place. Alex Rowberry is a Neuropuncturist based in New Zealand. Her path has taken her from Air New Zealand and recruitment to motherhood, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and neuropuncture, alongside many years teaching Qigong and Tai Ji.

    E16: Rise Up | Fay Calderone on Why Inclusive Leadership Matters More Than Ever

    What happens when the work you have spent years doing becomes more urgent, more personal, and more relevant than ever? Fay Calderone grew up in Western Sydney, working in her family’s bakery and seeing early how business decisions affect real people and families. She knew she wanted to study law, and eventually found her place in employment law, where people, business and fairness intersect. Sitting with Amanda, Fay reflects on the career pivots, mentors, parenthood and difficult leadership experiences that shaped her, and how her work has evolved from legal compliance towards a broader focus on workplace culture, inclusion and safety. With the release of her new book, Rise Up, Fay finds herself at a moment where her legal practice, writing, speaking and advocacy have come together with real clarity. You'll uncover: • How growing up as 'Little Fatini' in a Western Sydney family business shaped Fay’s ambition, resilience and understanding of work. • Why several significant career pivots taught Fay to pay attention to where she could contribute, learn and have the greatest impact. • How experiencing the closure of a law firm changed Fay’s understanding of leadership and influenced the choices she made about her own career. • Why Fay believes workplace inclusion has become more urgent, and why silence in the face of exclusion and division is not a neutral choice. • How Fay’s definition of success has shifted from relentless goal setting towards legacy, value, self compassion and using her voice where it matters. This episode is for women thinking about the impact they want to have as their careers evolve, particularly those weighing ambition against energy, values and the courage to speak up. Fay’s story shows how experience can sharpen rather than diminish ambition, and how the biggest leaps can begin with claiming your own time and place. Fay Calderone is an employment lawyer, author and speaker. Her books Broken to Safe and Rise Up explore workplace culture, safety and inclusion, drawing on her experience working with people and organisations. Fay’s new book, Rise Up, is out now. Written in response to the growing backlash against inclusion, division and exclusion, it is a call to create workplaces that are safer, more inclusive and more human. As Fay says in this conversation, its message feels more relevant than ever. Wondering if it's your time, your place?

    E15: Put More Life Into the Time You Have | Avril Henry on What Matters Most

    What gives you the courage to challenge the way things are, even when speaking up comes at a cost? Avril Henry AM learned early to question what she saw around her. Growing up in apartheid era South Africa, influenced deeply by her grandmother Pearl, she challenged racism and the expectations placed on girls. She fought to study maths and economics, won a scholarship to university, and eventually left South Africa for Australia. Those early experiences shaped a career spent questioning inequality, from confronting pay discrimination in finance to helping introduce paid maternity leave at Westpac in 1995. Sitting with Amanda, Avril reflects candidly on the personal cost of challenging the status quo, what still needs to change for women, and how cancer has changed the way she thinks about success, time and the life she still wants to live. You'll uncover: • How being told maths and economics were "boys' subjects" strengthened Avril's determination to make her own choices. • Why her grandmother Pearl's advice about education, kindness and using her brain has stayed with Avril throughout her life. • How discovering a male colleague was paid more led Avril to build an evidence based case for equal pay, and what it taught her about challenging unfairness. • What helping introduce paid maternity leave at Westpac in 1995 taught Avril about creating change inside organisations, and the personal cost that can come with it. • How cancer shifted Avril's definition of success and sharpened her focus on where, and with whom, she chooses to spend her time. This conversation is for women who have spent years building careers, families and lives, and are thinking more carefully about what deserves their energy now. Avril's story is a reminder that speaking up can have a cost, independence matters, and time becomes increasingly precious. The biggest leaps often begin with claiming your own time and place. Avril Henry AM is an Australian leadership speaker, author and advocate whose career has spanned finance, human resources, organisational change and gender equity. Her work has focused on challenging workplace inequality and creating change in organisations. Wondering if it's your time, your place?
