Why Women Shouldn’t Have to Do the Heavy Lifting Alone: Advocate Together

Why Women Shouldn’t Have to Do the Heavy Lifting Alone: Advocate Together

Can’t tell you how damn refreshing it is to have a male guest who is a champion for women – and one who advocates why women should not have to do the heavy lifting alone.

We may be shoulder to shoulder in today’s workplace — but that doesn’t mean the playing field has always been level. For some, it still isn’t.

But we don’t have to be defined or limited by the past. The question is: how do we thrive better together?

This week marks a first for the Power Of Women Podcast — our very first male guest, Wade Kingsley. Wade is a creative entrepreneur, mentor, and the founder of The Creative Coach. He’s spent his career helping people unlock bold ideas and back themselves. Together, we explore creativity, ageism, and gender dynamics — and explore how men and women can work and thrive better together.

 

In this, thought-provoking episode, we explore:

 – Why creativity and confidence are inextricably linked

– The role men can play in championing female leadership

– Ageism, gender dynamics, and the importance of finding a supportive network

– Reskilling and embracing new technologies

– How the workplace is shifting — and why collaboration matters more than ever.

 

Wade doesn’t just talk about empowering women — he’s actively doing it.

“It’s all very well to rant about it on a podcast — but you have to walk the walk… I’m hoping through some of the initiatives that I work on, that’s how I can make a difference.”

Ep.29 Gill Moakes | Radical Authenticity: How to be the best version of you

Ep.29 Gill Moakes | Radical Authenticity: How to be the best version of you

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.
