Hema Prakash | Revolutionising Women’s Healthcare

by admin | Jul 14, 2025 | Change Makers, Female Entrepreneur, Health & Wellbeing

Hema Prakash isn’t just a successful businesswoman— she is revolutionising women’s healthcare with Ponti Health—enabliing women to reclaim agency over their wellbeing. After years navigating the boardrooms of tech and private equity—where she was often the only woman in the room—Hema turned her energy to a new frontier: transforming women’s healthcare in Australia.

Now the co-founder of Ponti Health, Hema is building what she calls “slow medicine”: a one-stop clinic for women that respects time, intelligence, and lived experience. And she’s doing it on her terms.

In this episode, we explore:

⇛ Menopause isn’t a disease—and Héma’s on a mission to change how it’s treated

⇛ Why financial independence and self-prioritisation aren’t luxuries—they’re essentials

⇛ Research in women’s health is underfunded and needs support.

⇛ What it means to lead with humility, excellence, and empathy in business and health.

Hema highlighted so many salient points including:

On menopause: “Menopause shouldn’t be medicalised—it’s a transition, not a disease.”

On women’s financial independence: “Women need to be financially independent… it’s free money, literally free money everyone, compounding at 10% interest a year.”

How her business is delivering women’s healthcare: “We’ve taken everything back to basics. We’re calling it slow medicine… because we need time.”

Highlighted the alarming steps midlife women are taking due to menopause: “Women over 45 are activating income protection insurance at $12,000 a month—because they’re falling off their perches.”

by admin | Jun 2, 2025 | Blog, Burnout, Female Empowerment, Female Entrepreneur, Health & Wellbeing, Podcast For Women

Is your energy depleted? Do your feel drained? What if the root of your exhaustion isn’t just in your schedule—but in your organs?

Di sits down with renowned Chinese Medicine practitioner Dr. Marina Christov, founder of The House of Life on the podcast to challenge the notion of why so many women are energetically depleted —and what your liver, kidneys, and nervous system are trying to tell you. With over 25 years of experience, Marina brings a rare blend of clinical wisdom, emotional insight, and unapologetic truth-telling to this deeply personal conversation.

Marina also shares her own story of rejection and resilience—from being dismissed for being “too personable” to building a thriving wellness practice grounded in compassion, feminine energy, and fierce intention.

In his episode, we explore:

Why so many women are energetically depleted—and what your liver, kidneys, and nervous system are trying to tell you
How emotions are stored in the body, and how Chinese medicine maps this connection
Why burnout, brain fog, and tension aren’t just physical—they’re symptoms of fragmentation
How self-understanding and energetic alignment can become your greatest tools for healing

Megan Draper | The CEO Turning Discarded Furniture into Human Dignity

by admin | May 26, 2025 | Female Entrepreneur

DescriptionIn this episode of the Power Of Women Podcast, host Di Gillett speaks with Megan Draper, Founder and CEO of Furniture Reuse Solutions (FRS) — a 100% female-owned environmental company that has quietly redefined what it means to lead with purpose.

Megan was raised to believe that women were meant to be subservient to men — homemakers in the background, while men took the lead as breadwinners. A chance encounter at a gas station led her into the world of recycling and environmental logistics. Today, she leads a company that has redirected more than £60 million worth of surplus furniture to over 200 nonprofits and humanitarian organisations — avoiding landfill and transforming lives in the process.

We explore the growing intersection of sustainability, circular economy principles, and social responsibility — and how impact-led leadership is no longer optional in today’s business landscape. This episode is for anyone building something bigger than themselves — especially women navigating leadership, visibility, and purpose in a world that still questions their right to take the lead.

In this episode we reveal:

The truth about leading in a male-dominated industry
How one desk or chair can transform a child’s future
The power of circular economy thinking in business
Why real leadership today must include social impact

Judy King | Reclaiming Her Life After Childhood Trauma

by admin | May 12, 2025 | Blog, Conqueror, Female Author, Female Entrepreneur, Female Podcast, Podcast For Women

Judy King is the first octogenarian guest on the Power Of Women Podcast — and she is nothing short of extraordinary. Now living her best life in Mallorca, Judy’s story is a powerful journey of success and healing, after unearthing repressed childhood memories.

Our conversation is a true emotional rollercoaster. We celebrate Judy’s remarkable achievements, including her domination of the Paddington real estate market in the 1960s — a feat few women could dream of at the time. But behind the success, Judy battled hidden demons: repressed childhood memories that left her overwhelmed by a persistent, haunting sense of failure. In recent years, therapy helped Judy unlock deeply buried truths — a harrowing history of undiagnosed trauma, sexual abuse, abandonment, emotional deprivation, and lifelong impacts on her mental health.

Judy shares her raw and courageous story with us, offering hope and wisdom for anyone who has faced darkness and fought their way back to the light.

Her full journey is captured in her powerful new book, AGNES – A Childhood Betrayed and Reclaimed.
