by admin | Oct 7, 2024 | Blog, Champion, Female Empowerment, Female Entrepreneur, Female Leaders, Women Supporting Women

I don’t think anyone could be more radically authentic than Gill Moakes. On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast, Di gets into the weeds with the award winning business coach, writer, speaker and the host of the Heads Together podcast. Having both made a commitment to no more sugar, they explore the importance of prioritising ourselves, the concept of rewilding and the benefits of cutting away what no longer serves us. Gill works with freedom-seeking, risk-taking women to help them grow phenomenal businesses. She believes that when you’re brave enough to do things your way and you’re outstanding at what you do, you deserve a life of infinite possibilities. They also shine a light on the privilege it is, to love what you do. That’s empowering.

Today on the Power Of Women podcast, Di spends time with Olympian, Margot Foster to discuss the correlation between being an elite athlete and a leader in business. The podcast explores the intersection of mental toughness required as a business leader, by comparison to the mental fortitude it takes to perform at the highest level in sport. It is a fascinating and rich topic. Both domains demand a high level of resilience, focus, and perseverance. They also agree the future looks bright given the extraordinary performances at the recent Paris Olympic Games and the level of support shown in & out of the competitive settings. Through the lens of the Power Of Women, there is much to celebrate when we look at the talent of future leaders in the pipeline.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with the incredible woman at the helm of Anther Distillery, Dervilla McGowan. Dervilla left bartending to become a Scientist and like most scientists, she enjoys mucking about with things to see how they work. After working in bars in Australia and London, completing a PhD in Microbiology, becoming a Mum and working as a Microbiologist in the innovation of rapid composting of food waste, she stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. Dervilla left research to make gin, exploring the science of flavour and running Anther Gin in a way that helps to support the craft distilling community. She loves working on gin recipes, distilling, collaborations, and the flavour of Australian native botanicals. She is a fierce advocate and supporter of women and Dervilla’s spirit is most definitely a tilt to her Celtic ancestry.
