S3 Ep12 - Leading With Kindness: Purpose, Reinvention & Entrepreneurship with Carmel Saulbrey

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489643/fan_mail/new] What happens when outward success no longer feels enough? In this episode of the She Leads Collective Podcast, Mary is joined by entrepreneur and founder Carmel Saulbrey. After building and selling one of the UK's largest school photography businesses, Carmel could have retired. Instead, she followed a deeper sense of purpose into children's residential care. Today she owns therapeutic homes for traumatised children and is developing an innovative AI-powered training platform to help care staff navigate some of the most challenging situations they face. Together they explore: *  Reinvention and purpose  *  Leadership through kindness  *  Female entrepreneurship and funding  *  Supporting frontline teams  *  AI as a force for good  *  Why compassion and patience are becoming essential leadership skills  This is a conversation about what happens when success alone is no longer enough, and how purpose, kindness and continuous growth can lead us to make an even greater difference, genuinely changing lives for the better.

S3 Ep11: - Divorce, Work and the Hidden Cost for Women with Tamara Glanvill

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489643/fan_mail/new] What happens at work when life falls apart at home? We talk openly about maternity, menopause, wellbeing and bereavement, but one major life transition remains largely invisible in many workplaces: divorce. In this episode of the She Leads Collective Podcast, I’m joined by family lawyer and partner at Taylor Walton Solicitors, Tamara Glanvill, who has spent more than 30 years helping people navigate separation, divorce and complex family transitions. Together we explore: *  Why divorce impacts far more than finances and legal arrangements  *  The hidden effect on confidence, identity and wellbeing  *  How divorce can expose inequalities around childcare, careers and the mental load  *  Why women often face a steeper financial recovery after separation  *  What employers can do to support people through major life transitions  *  Tamara's own leadership journey as the youngest and only female partner in her firm  This is a thoughtful conversation about leadership, communication, resilience and the realities many people are navigating behind the scenes while still showing up at work every day.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2489643/fan_mail/new] This week on the She Leads Collective Podcast, I'm joined by women's health advocate, senior leader and Co-Chair of Menopause Mandate, Tina Backhouse. Tina's story is extraordinary. After losing both parents as a baby and growing up in care, she developed a resilience and self-belief that would later help her build a successful leadership career and become one of the UK's most passionate voices for women's health. In this powerful conversation we explore: • Tina's journey from a children's home to senior leadership • Why she believes resilience is a leadership superpower • The courageous decision to leave a highly successful career and follow her purpose • Why women's health is still misunderstood, underfunded and under-prioritised • The link between women's health, careers and gender equality • What organisations can do to better support women at work • The work of Menopause Mandate and the future of women's health advocacy This is a conversation about leadership, purpose, inequality and creating a world where women no longer have to suffer in silence. A must-listen for leaders, HR professionals, policy makers and anyone who cares about gender equity.
