  1. You Can Rise Again: From Self-Sabotage to Self-Belief!

    You Can Rise Again: From Self-Sabotage to Self-Belief!

    💔✨ “From scratch to the summit again.” We often talk about women’s success. But we don’t talk enough about the moments we fall apart. 🎙 This is the third and last episode in our 3-part summer series in English — and it’s a raw, inspiring journey of resilience. I sat down with Kanika Holloway, Chief Growth Officer in a Belgian scale-up, who rebuilt her life and career after hitting rock bottom — far from home, in a new country, a new culture, with no job and a toxic relationship. 💡 In this episode, we talk about: What self-sabotage really looks like when it’s hiding behind love, sacrifice or fear. The inner beliefs that made her feel she had to “do twice as much” to be seen — and how she finally rewrote that narrative. How building a powerful support circle helped her rise — professionally and personally. The mindset shifts that turn failure into fuel. We also dive into: ✨ How to navigate toxic work cultures (including “mean girls” at the office). 😱 ✨ The unspoken codes of male-dominated environments — and how to stay true to yourself. ✨ The power of journaling, faith, and daily rituals to stay grounded — even in chaos. A bold, intimate, and empowering conversation — for any woman who’s ever doubted her worth or felt she had to shrink to fit in. Discover more Episodes in French Together Women Rise.

    Can Your Partner Make or Break Your Success?

    ⚡ We often talk about work-life balance. But we rarely discuss the REAL dynamics happening behind the scenes with our life partners! 🎙 This is the second episode in our 3-part summer series in English --- an authentic and eye-opening conversation about the real impact of our life choices on our ambitions. I sat down with Maria Marta Perez Lipi, former sales director at Google, who shares how she and her husband COMPLETELY rewrote traditional codes so both could thrive. 💡 In this episode, we dive into: How to navigate moments of self-doubt after pregnancy --- when your career feels stuck and confidence crumbles. The REAL conversation you need to have before redefining roles in your relationship (spoiler: it's not what you think). How to OWN your unconventional choices against judgment --- even from your own family. Concrete techniques for couple discussions that BUILD instead of breaking down. We also explore: ✨ What happens when HE becomes the primary caregiver while you climb the corporate ladder. ✨ The mental shift from "What will people think?" to "This is what works for US." ✨ How to be fully present as a working mom --- quality over quantity. ✨ Why investing in relationships (not just networking) is your secret career weapon. A bold, honest conversation --- for any ambitious woman questioning if she can have it all on her own terms. 📢 What about you? Have you ever had to choose between your partner's dreams and your own career goals? Which tip(s) from Maria could you use to fully embrace your ambition and be aligned with it?

    Born This Way? Or Made This Way?”

    This is the very first episode in English 🇬🇧, kicking off a 3-part summer series.And we couldn’t have started with a more powerful voice. I sat down with Dewi Van De Vyver, CEO of Effex, named Tech Woman of the Year by ELLE Belgium — and a bold advocate for women in leadership, diversity and ethics in tech. Our conversation dives deep into the tension between nature and nurture — and how to reconcile both without losing yourself. You’ll hear: 🔹 What shapes us : our inner nature, or the way society raises and conditions us? 🔹 Why society “nurtures” us — and how to stay authentic without being excluded. 🔹 The invisible narratives women carry — and how to spot them, challenge them, and rewrite them. We also explore: 🔹How to build a company culture where sexism has no place. 🔹 How to create a workplace that empowers both women and men to be their true selves — beyond societal expectations. 🔹 The power of embracing your full self — including the parts you don’t like. 🔹 Why “the cure for everything is salt water”. Dewi also opens up about: → Why trying to “look like a good mother” almost broke her. → Why she’ll always choose a fast-paced startup over a billion-dollar corporate. → Her two top tips for navigating corporate environments without losing your soul.
