In this episode of The Founder Tapes, I sit down with Fiona Sanford, CEO of The Flourish Journey, an Australian charity dedicated to enhancing the well-being of teenage girls. With a background as an award-winning gymnast and a passion for mental health, Fiona shares her journey from sports to social impact, and how she's helping young women build resilience, self-awareness, and confidence.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Fiona's transition from competitive gymnastics to mental health advocacy
• The mission and impact of The Flourish Journey's programs across Australia
• Challenges faced in scaling a purpose-driven organisation
• The importance of rites of passage in teenage development
• Insights on fostering self-esteem and combating societal pressures among young girls

Fiona's dedication has led to the transformation of over 25,000 lives, earning her recognition as a finalist in the 2024 Women’s Agenda Leadership Awards.
