Boardroom Besties

This is a podcast series about women of influence – women who have had a positive impact on society. We’re asking about their biggest wins and losses and the definitive moments that shaped and changed their lives for good, because this podcast aims to change other women’s lives forever, too.
There are many false narratives on social media today, pulling young women into the pressure of being someone that they are not, throwing them into a cycle of instant gratification. We want this podcast to shine a positive light on hard work, staying focused and realising our boundless potential. Come and join us – we’ve made a place just for you.
