Welcome to Ep. 3 (Series 2) of the Tales of Female Badassery podcast!

In this episode we speak to UK-based Founder of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company Hubbix, CEO of Ablewight, and business coach LISA WIGHT.
Join us as Lisa shares her tales of badassery with our podcast host & Not Sorry Club Founder, Betty Adamou.

*Trigger warning*
This episode contains several references to bullying, domestic abuse, suicide, and drug use. A verbal warning is provided when this part of the conversation will begin, include how far forward to skip, should you not wish to listen to the conversation containing this content.

Join us as Lisa shares...

• Why it's important to uncover your values, and how to do that
• How she traversed a life of bullying, domestic violence and drug use and came out of the other side surviving and thriving
• How, ironically, it was a job at Club 18-30 that helped Lisa get clean and change her life
• How personal development was a key part of her growth and how she is transforming that into a 'F*ck Yes' ethos for other people
• Her admiration for the founder of the Red Balloon Foundation
• Why performers like Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are an inspiration
• And so much more!

Welcome to Ep. 2 of Series 2 in the Tales of Female Badassery podcast!

In this episode we speak to UK-based Professor Elaine Cloutman-Green; a woman who has several job titles and 37 letters after her name (these are explored in the episode), so get ready to get motivated as Elaine shares her tales of badassery with our podcast host & Not Sorry Club Founder, Betty Adamou.

Join us as Elaine shares...

• Choosing what to wear to the KING'S ACTUAL CORONATION, and meeting Lionel Ritchie
• How a little bit of fear is your friend when it comes to getting out of your comfort zone
• Why it’s important, as a leader, to be open about our negative emotions, not just the positive
• What it’s like working in healthcare, and during the pandemic
• How Elaine supports other women to overcome imposter syndrome
• What does “knowing your why” mean, and why that matters
• Calling out inappropriate behaviour at work
• speaking ‘truth to power’ in her role as an advisor during the pandemic, helping to ensure that safety for people always came first
• How her @girlymicro blog became an act of rebellion
• And much more!

(At approx. 1 hr 24 mins in, my neighbours dog started barking, and our walls are thin. This could not be removed in the editing, so thank you for your patience!)

PS. Who is Shonda Rhimes? (Elaine mentions her in the episode) She is an American TV producer, screenwriter, & founder of the production company Shondaland. And a total badass.

Welcome to Series 2 of Tales of Female Badassery!
This podcast shares & celebrates acts of Bravery, Authenticity, Determination, Assertiveness, Strength, and Self-Care by women from all over the world.
(And in case the mnemonic wasn't obvious, those are BADASS qualities!).

In this 1st episode of Series 2, we speak to UK-based dancer (and, fair to say, fast-growing influencer) ROSY MAY who shares her badass stories with our podcast host & Not Sorry Club Founder, Betty Adamou.

Join us as Rosy shares...

• her recent work in sharing dances from the African diaspora
• the challenges & triumphs of her dance career
• channelling the "no's" from auditions into a big YES by taking her career into her own hands
• speaking out about the lack-of-diversity-elephant-in-the room, while live on stage
• How we all suffer from, what we're calling 'hindsight badassery'; having awesome things to say/retort after the fact (and always in the shower! Why?!).
• How Rosy uses dance to build confidence in herself and others
• And so much more!
