In this special episode, I was extremely fortunate to welcome Stephanie Boyce. Stephanie's story is not just about breaking barriers—it’s about building bridges. As the first person of colour to become President of the Law Society of England and Wales, her journey is one of grit, grace, and generational impact goes deeper than titles.

We explore:

• The silent ceilings of race, class, and expectation
• The coded exclusions that shape professional spaces
• The emotional toll of leadership and advocacy
• The power of persistence in systems not built for you

Stephanie shares how her family’s sacrifices and her own self-belief helped her navigate a world that often said “no” before she even asked. She reminds us that every door is open—if you PUSH: Persevere Until Something Happens.

This episode asks the hard questions:

Join us for an inspiring conversation with two remarkable women breaking barriers and championing change. Jess Rad, award-winning founder of The WomenHood and 2024 National Diversity Award winner, shares her powerful journey as a late-identified neurodivergent entrepreneur navigating premature menopause while closing gender gaps across women's health, finance, and workplace inclusion. Alongside her is Lisa Ardley-Price, a seasoned financial services lawyer, certified coach, and mentor who's spent over 15 years empowering women through leadership initiatives and holistic wellness approaches.

Together, they tackle some of the tough questions that we are grappling with in society. These include, can women truly achieve work-life balance? What's behind the motherhood penalty versus the father bonus? How do we challenge negative perceptions of feminism while creating genuine workplace inclusion? From menopause as a workplace issue to financial independence, neurodiversity in professional settings, and the evolution of women's roles in society, this conversation doesn't shy away from the topics that matter most.

Whether you're navigating your own career challenges, supporting women in your workplace, or simply want to understand the complex landscape facing women today, this episode offers practical insights, personal stories, and actionable advice that can inspire change.

In this episode on Prim Rose Light I am delighted to have welcomed Sarah Boutros. Sarah and I spent some time talking about boundaries, what is that and why is it so important to put into effect to preserve your well-being. We also talk about emotional safety and how to self-sooth, what is the role of our ego, enmeshment, and how to develop compassion for our parents, who despite creating childhood trauma, did the best they could within their level of consciousness. We all have varying degrees of trauma to work through and in fact, "forgiveness" is a misnomer and gives us an entitlement that we have been victimised by our parents. Let's take the opportunity for our evolution and understand that by needing apologies and to forgive parents or others, only further sustains the illusion of victimhood that life is happening to me and not for me and my development. Hence, the opportunity for us is to rise above without any sense of blame and shame so that we lose the ego and surrender to the learnings, as an observer of life. This point was exceptionally well said by Peter Crone, who I absolutely love as a profoundly wise soul. This also chimes with the Vedantic philosophy which I so deeply resonate with. This concept of oneness and that we are all brothers and sisters, regardless of labels, colour or creed and that we are all part of the infinite.

Sarah Boutros is a dedicated Relationship Coach based in Dubai, specializing in helping women
