This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with fashion designer, Nikki Atkinson, who is on the path to taking her Australian Merino wool wedding dresses to the global bridal market. A country girl at heart and living regionally on a merino-wool growing property in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, Nikki is championing our golden fleece as not only a luxury alternative for bridal couture, but also as a sustainable alternative. Merino wool is a renewable and biodegradable material. Listen to Nikki’s journey as a business woman, a farmer’s wife, weekend sporting coach and mum. There is a reason women are great at multi-tasking. They have to!

I don’t think anyone could be more radically authentic than Gill Moakes. On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast, Di gets into the weeds with the award winning business coach, writer, speaker and the host of the Heads Together podcast. Having both made a commitment to no more sugar, they explore the importance of prioritising ourselves, the concept of rewilding and the benefits of cutting away what no longer serves us. Gill works with freedom-seeking, risk-taking women to help them grow phenomenal businesses. She believes that when you’re brave enough to do things your way and you’re outstanding at what you do, you deserve a life of infinite possibilities. They also shine a light on the privilege it is, to love what you do. That’s empowering.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di spends time with Angela Rakis in Washington DC. cAs a child, she would spend time in her grand-parents iconic store, the Acropolis Food Market, providores of Greek and Mediterranean foods and condiments. We discuss how these influences along with the exemplary role modelling from her mother, who now in her 80’s is still a working & exhibiting artist, have played a key role in Angela’s life choices, the roles she pursued and ultimately her own business, Favorite Daughter LLC. We also discuss the Great Resignation post the COVID 19 pandemic, the rise of female entrepreneurs, and how more and more people are re-evaluating what they want from their careers and more broadly, life in general.

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. It is a fascinating and rich topic. Both domains demand a high level of resilience, focus, and perseverance. They also agree the future looks bright given the extraordinary performances at the recent Paris Olympic & Paralympic Games and the level of support shown in & out of the competitive settings. Through the lens of the Power Of Women, there is much to celebrate when we look at the talent of future leaders in the pipeline.

This week on the Power Of Women podcast, Di sits down with the incredible woman at the helm of Anther Distillery, Dervilla McGowan. Dervilla left bartending to become a Scientist and like most scientists, she enjoys mucking about with things to see how they work. After working in bars in Australia and London, completing a PhD in Microbiology, becoming a Mum and working as a Microbiologist in the innovation of rapid composting of food waste, she stepped into the world of entrepreneurship. Dervilla left research to make gin, exploring the science of flavour and running Anther Gin in a way that helps to support the craft distilling community. She loves working on gin recipes, distilling, collaborations, and the flavour of Australian native botanicals. She is a fierce advocate and supporter of women and Dervilla’s spirit is most definitely a tilt to her Celtic ancestry.

On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast Di is enlightened by Melina Cordero who shares her concept around a better way to work. 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. She had experienced significant success at a young age, yet with each step forward Melina felt this disconnect, as if she was failing. 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. Joining Di all the way from Mexico City, Melina shares the reasons why she left her job to make yours better.

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.
