by admin | Mar 10, 2025 | Blog, Change Makers, Conqueror, Female Empowerment, Female Power, Podcast For Women, Sexual Harassment

You want brutal honesty? Well here it is. Jane Evans says she has always been radical and these days she is not afraid to point out the bleeding obvious, not that she ever was. The issue being, midlife women, women of a certain age, simply fade from sight. For many, they become invisible.

Jane Evans is an executive creative director and activist who has lived & worked in the advertising sector in Australia. Now back in the UK, Jane is the Co-Founder of Visible Inc., and on this episode of the Power Of Women Podcast, she shares how she has created a movement to empower midlife women, and the need for societal change to support women in their careers. Jane and Di explore the challenges and opportunities faced by midlife women, emphasising the need for a shift in perceptions, empowerment, and the recognition of this cohort’s consumer power. The conversation highlights the need for a new narrative that embraces aging and redefines beauty, while also honouring the contributions of previous generations of women.

by admin | Feb 3, 2025 | Blog, Female Empowerment, Podcast For Women, Transformational Change

The Year of the Wood Snake. Last week’s episode with Kerry Henwood was dynamic, so when Kerry suggested she could return for a second week to continue our discussion, of course I jumped at the opportunity. And that is a great segway, as opportunity is one of the key themes that repeatedly came to the fore as we reviewed what is in store for 2025.

Kerry Henwood, an intuitive healer, speaker, and teacher. Drawing on her global network, including her Tibetan Lama friends, Kerry explains the significance of the Lunar New Year. The energy of 2025 is expected to feature collaboration, leadership, the integration of empathy in technology and an abundance of opportunities if you are open to them.

If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to go back & listen to Episode 45, to gain a comprehensive picture of the year ahead. It’s compelling.
