Groundbreaking British Sailor and Founder of the Maiden Factor, Tracy Edwards joins me today to share how her journey around the world aboard the Maiden shattered stereotypes  and redefined the landscape of what women could achieve in male-dominated fields. 
 
Skippering the 1st all female crew in a Yacht Race around the world, Tracy shares how in 1989/1990 she challenged the norm, broke boundaries and at what at first seemed like a “selfish goal” evolved into a movement for women that was far bigger than herself.  
 
In 2017, she rescued the Maiden and brought her back to the UK and then restored her for The Maiden Factor Project whose mission is to empower the 130 million girls  worldwide who are not receiving their right to education as - ‘when we educate girls, we change the world’.

Author of Lilith, Nikki Marmery joins me today to talk about the inspiration behind her joyous rampage through biblical history where she re-tells the story of the ‘demoness’ Lilith. 
 
Nikki shares why Lilith who was banished from the Garden of Eden for disobedience - visits and collaborates with other female biblical characters as she spends thousands of years trying to restore natural balance (and the power of the feminine) back into the world.
We reflect on the broader implications of women's stories in our own narratives. Together, we explore how these stories, often missing or misunderstood, can shape our perceptions and experiences as women and how when we change the root of those stories, we empower women across generations.
