Why do women, as a generalisation, tend to undervalue their work? And how can you lead with humanity when the world feels broken?

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Reem Borrows sits down with Jessie Kernot, a formidable leader in community engagement, infrastructure, and a passionate feminist. Jessie shares her journey as a leader and as a mother to two young children, Pravi (4) and Arjan (2), and how that's only strengthened her resolve.

We explore:

• The "quiet and unseen" work of women and generations of social conditioning.

• The critical "keys on the table" lesson: why you are not your business.

• Jessie's career-defining pivot from a safe corporate job to volunteering with a microfinance group in Vietnam.

• The "Is this it?" feeling and the courage to chase your purpose.

• Why "it takes a village" isn't a cliché, it's a leadership necessity.

Reem also shares her personal, non-negotiable belief: that you cannot separate leadership from humanity and advocacy. This is a conversation about leadership, value, and our shared commitment to truth.
