Change and transformation start with you and your mindset.This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di explores this possibility with Michelle Stanton, Founder and CEO of Complete Success.

We’re diving into something so many of us have faced at some point in our lives: Burnout. It can creep in and take a serious toll on our health and well-being as well as impact those around us. In this episode of the Power Of Women podcast, I engage in a candid discussion with Shirley Wardle, an Australian-born, UK-based female executive who has navigated a remarkable career across multiple industries—including telecommunications, media & broadcast, and cybersecurity. Despite her impressive achievements, the relentless pace and high-stakes demands of corporate life took their toll, leading her to the brink of burnout. Shirley opens up about her journey through the corporate ranks, the warning signs she ignored, and the turning point that forced her to reset. The turning point is still raw & still elicits an emotional reaction when talking about it. After stepping away from her executive role, she discovered a new path to balance and well-being. Shirley has just launched a rejuvenating Pilates oasis in the heart of Kent, UK—a project that symbolises her commitment to both physical and mental health. Listen to how Shirley transformed burnout into a fresh start, what she learned about maintaining well-being in high-pressure environments, and how she's using her experience to help others find balance in their own lives.Key Topics:06:58 Identifying Burnout and Its Triggers16:47 Recognizing and Addressing Burnout20:08 Overcoming Burnout and Finding Passion21:11 Taking Control of Menopause and HealthFor more information about Shirley Wardle:Shirley Wardle LinkedInStudio Pilates, West Malling.

Today on the Power Of Women podcast, Di spends time with Olympian, Margot Foster to discuss the correlation between being an elite athlete and a leader in business. The podcast explores the intersection of mental toughness required as a business leader, by comparison to the mental fortitude it takes to perform at the highest level in sport.

Melina powered up the corporate ladder, a female in a male dominated industry. However, as she moved closer to the upper echelons of management, she realised something just didn’t feel right.

Breaking away to launch her own business in 2021, she has developed a new digital platform designed to drive inclusion, innovation and leadership in organisations.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di connects with Julie Otter, co-Founder of Otter Craft Distilling (OCD) to discuss how she and the business survived the pandemic. Having launched OCD only five months before COVID hit, they were left out in the cold when it came to Government support. Timing is everything and things aren’t always fair and it also appears, are not always equal in business. Julie shares candidly how tough it was and how to stay strong when it feels like the ground is shifting under your feet. She also shares insights around when your team are also your family, and why it is still super important to hold each other accountable. I’m guessing though, that the boardroom bar-fridge is very well stocked. Guest: Julie OtterJulie’s Business: Otter Craft DistillingHost: Di GillettSound Design: Daryl Missen Contact Di | Suggest a Guest: https://powerofwomen.com.au/contact/ Sign up to the weekly episode update to power your week: https://powerofwomen.com.au/ Watch the podcast on our YouTube channel | PowerOfWomenPODCAST Connect with Di on LinkedInFollow The Power Of Women podcast on InstagramFollow & connect Di on Insta Keep up with the latest episodes on the Power Of Women website Thank YOU for joining the conversation.We would love it if you could help us power the pod.

If you were to ask yourself or friends in your inner circle, do you have visibility to the household finances, what would their answer be? On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast Di gets enlightened by wealth coach, Julia Scott, and if your answer to the aforementioned question is “No”, then you need to listen too. Julia was an Accountant and wealth management expert who trusted her husband to manage their family finances. Just as many of us do, right? Well as it turned out, she was wrong. It wasn’t until her marriage broke down that she discovered her trust was misplaced. She was cut off financially and left living on welfare. Motivated by this experience and putting her professional skills to work, today, Julia is a successful self-made woman, and she has made it her business to help others achieve the same in building their own financial security. Guest: Julia ScottJulia’s business: Love Luck WealthHost: Di GillettSound Design: Daryl MissenContact Di | Suggest a Guest: https://powerofwomen.com.au/contact/ Sign up to the weekly episode update to power your week: https://powerofwomen.com.au/ Watch the podcast on our YouTube channel | PowerOfWomenPODCAST Connect with Di on LinkedInFollow The Power Of Women podcast on InstagramFollow & connect Di on Insta Keep up with the latest episodes on the Power Of Women website Thank YOU for joining the conversation.We would love it if you could help us power the pod.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with self-proclaimed laughaholic, Tracy Bartram. A candid discussion that isn’t always so funny. Tracy shares insights into her childhood and how that shaped her, the rampant sexism she endured as she built her career in radio, television, comedy & music, and the pain & dysfunction she managed despite being in the public eye. Tracy is an open-book and a fabulous example of the commitment it takes to battle one’s demons and the rewards you can reap from putting in the hard yards. It’s a brave narrative about addiction, resilience and finding success. It’s a testament to the human spirit's capacity for transformation. Guest: Tracy BartramHost: Di GillettSound Design: Daryl MissenFilming: Chocolate Studios Contact Di | Suggest a Guest: https://powerofwomen.com.au/contact/ Sign up to the weekly episode update to power your week: https://powerofwomen.com.au/ Watch the podcast on our YouTube channel | PowerOfWomenPODCAST Connect with Di on LinkedInFollow The Power Of Women podcast on InstagramFollow & connect Di on Insta Keep up with the latest episodes on the Power Of Women website Thank YOU for joining the conversation.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast Di spends time with a true powerhouse, Beverley Honig. What is impressive is that Beverley didn’t hesitate to make herself available which is amazing given the many hats she wears; professor of practice, CEO, thought leader, global innovator and renowned entrepreneur. A thought-provoking discussion that shines a light on Beverley’s own narrative: as well as explores her advocacy of ‘women at the table’; a fresh perspective on the ‘glass-ceiling’; explores ‘imposter syndrome’ v. self-fulfilling prophecy; and the distinction between diversity and inclusion. When it comes to inclusion, it is very clear, we have a lot of work to do.Guest: Beverley Honig, Chief Executive of Honeylight EnterprisesHost: Di GillettSound Design: Daryl MissenFilming: Chocolate Studios Contact Di | Suggest a Guest: https://powerofwomen.com.au/contact/ Sign up to the weekly episode update to power your week: https://powerofwomen.com.au/ Watch the podcast on our YouTube channel | PowerOfWomenPODCAST Connect with Di on LinkedInFollow The Power Of Women podcast on InstagramFollow & connect Di on Insta Keep up with the latest episodes on the Power Of Women website Thank YOU for joining the conversation.

Anna is an Australian artist based in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia who is successfully transitioning from a corporate career to the art world.

A deep dive into the complexities, chaos and change we face in our personal and professional lives and the importance of trust, respect and self-confidence.In this episode, Di talks with the inimitable thought leader, Dr Desley Lodwick. The phrase that defines Desley and she lives by is, her best is yet to come. A powerful phrase, and as we age an unbelievably uplifting take on life.We discuss the reality that we are dealing with complexity much of the time within organisations at lower & lower levels, and interestingly, Desley has found people don’t understand the difference between complicated and complex. Historically our jobs were complicated, however nowadays they are not merely complicated but becoming increasingly more complex. There is always a solution for a complication, however it is the complexity that presents us with issues we simply cannot solve. This is true in our personal lives too.It's not all bad news though when faced with this complexity, as we can make progress that steers us in the direction we want to go. We just have to be willing to change. Desley’s book, Ethically Deviant: An Unconventional Guide for Leaders to Supercharge Progress in Times of Complexity, Chaos & Change is due for release later this year.Great insights from another fabulous female I have had the privilege of talking with on the Power Of Women podcast.I have to tell you, I absolutely love what I do.
