In this episode of the We Are PoWEr podcast, we explore the transformative power of prioritising self-worth and the impact of saying no to things that no longer serve us. Join hosts Michelle Eagleton and Rupinder Ashworth as they dive into personal stories of growth, empowerment, and collaboration. Michelle shares how mentorship from Ria Hebden reshaped her career, while Ru reflects on her journey towards self-discovery after leaving a toxic work environment and embracing life as an empty nester. Together, they discuss the profound shift that happens when we align our choices with personal well-being and the liberation found in letting go of perfection.

In this episode, we also celebrate the growing movement from competition to collaboration among women, united under the mantra "together we rise." Rupinder shares her decision to prioritise family over career and her involvement with the Esprit Foundation, emphasising the importance of pursuing genuine passions and setting clear intentions for growth. We talk about the small joys, like festive tunes and vision boards, that can enhance our journey towards success and well-being.

The conversation also touches on the courage of asking for opportunities and support, especially for women in leadership roles. We discuss the power of assertive communication, mentorship, and the strength of community support in achieving our goals. As we look ahead to the 2025 Northern Power Women Awards, we celebrate those who champion gender equality and resilience.
