On the Bank Holiday after the Coronation we are inspired to explore the power of 'Queen Energy’ in our lives. This is one of five power types that all women can tap into as an alternative to Superwoman - you know her, stressed, juggling like crazy, putting everyone’s needs before her own on the brink of burnout and not showing up as the woman she really is. We have all met her, worked with her and probably been her.

In our latest Loose Women in Pharma podcast Miriam Kenrick and Sarah Sowerby chat to their inspiring guest Michelle Riddalls about her impressive career. In her current role as CEO of PAGB, Michelle has played an important role in The Northern Ireland protocol, advising the Government and ensuring that medicines are available to the people of Northern Ireland. We wanted to know how Michelle started in pharma, who inspired her, how she has juggled motherhood with a big career and what her missions are for the future.

It's an inspiring story that shows what is possible with deep expertise, dedication, compassion and the courage to step up.

After the replenishing Easter weekend Sarah and Miriam discuss dopamine. 

Dopamine is typically associated with pleasure and reward. But, inspired by Andrew Huberman’s recent podcast on how dopamine can be used to optimise effort and overcome procrastination, they explore how they both use the power of dopamine for motivation and drive in their work lives.

Listen to discover how dopamine is part of the Tiny Habits methodology (Miriam is a Tiny Habits coach) and how Sarah used the power of dopamine at work this week to zip through a big piece of work - and had a lot of fun at the same time!

If you are a science geek and have a couple of hours to spare while you are pottering about, get your headphones in and listen to the podcast yourself. The Huberman Lab podcasts are a favourite of ours - when we have the time They are quite long!
