To celebrate 10 years since I turned my life upside down in pursuit of happiness, I’m sharing the 10 most powerful lessons I’ve learned since walking away from a 16-year executive career.

If you’re craving a more meaningful, aligned, and impact-led life and career, this episode is your road map. Inside, I share the hard truths that changed everything for me, along with practical takeaways and reflection prompts to help you redefine success on your terms.

This one’s especially for the ambitious woman who’s done everything “right,” yet still feels like something’s off. You don’t need to blow it all up to start creating work that matters but you do need to begin. Consider this your start point.

Leadership isn’t about fitting into a system that was never built for you. It’s about reshaping that system to reflect how you lead best.

In this episode of Pennyology, I sit down with Tamara Somers—globally recognised sustainability strategist and Impact Maker—to unpack what leadership looks like when you turn bold strategy into real, systemic change on your terms.

We dive into the power of engaging the right stakeholders, why sustainability is the leadership imperative, and how women like Tam are challenging performative norms to lead with purpose and long-term impact.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why sustainability is leadership—not a side project
• How to engage stakeholders who unlock systemic change
• The difference between performative action and purposeful impact
• How Tamara redefined leadership through the Impact Makers community
• Why If Not You, Then Who? is a question every woman should be asking
