Ever had life bring you to your knees in that quiet, private way that makes you feel deeply human?

I'm in that season. In this episode I share the health news I'm navigating and the leadership reset it sparked: why going back to basics isn't a setback, how to be confidently humble, and the seven foundations I'm using to rebuild in body and leadership.

If you're facing uncertainty - career, health, motherhood - this is a gentle, practical companion for beginning again.

In this special conversation, Nicky welcomes friends and co-founders Clare Radford and Harri Demetrios to introduce the Empow-Her Collective - a new, research-led collaboration reshaping how senior women are supported in leadership.

Together, they unpack why "fixing women" misses the point, the systemic patterns that stall brilliant careers, and how psychologically safe, evidence-based development can create real change. You'll hear the origin story, the themes they're already seeing in their study, and how you can lend your voice. If you've ever felt like you're leading with one hand tied behind your back, this one's for you.

The mental load isn't just yours to carry - it's a leadership issue. Learn how cultures that care can ease the juggle at work and at home.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a global speaker series we delivered to our client, UKG, to explore why the mental load isn't just a personal struggle - it's a leadership issue.

Together we unpack how invisible responsibilities at home and at work impact wellbeing, retention, and culture, and why building 'cultures that care' matters for every organisation.

Joining me to share the story are two inspiring UKG leaders who brought this initiative to life - Mille Holst-Barry and Jeremy Casupanan

Together we discuss:

- Why UKG decided to invest in this global iniative around the mental load

- How conversations about the mental load can transform both workplaces and homes.

- The personal and cultural nuances of mental load across families, genders, and geographies.

- Why recognising the invisible tasks at work is vital for equity and retention.

- The practical impact of addressing the mental load in the workplace

This is an honest, inspiring, and hopeful conversation about how organisations can support their people to thrive and why every workplace should be talking about the mental load.

Tune in and discover how small shifts in awareness can make a big difference in creating workplaces (and homes) where everyone can flourish.
