In this episode of The Quiet Part Out Loud, Nuvyn Peters and Alexandra Stante sit down with the Honourable Rona Ambrose for a candid and compelling conversation about leadership, courage, advocacy, and the responsibility that comes with using your platform for good.

From her rise in federal politics to serving in senior cabinet roles and leading the Official Opposition, Rona reflects on the defining chapters of her career and the issues that continue to shape her work today. She speaks openly about advocating for women and girls, the fight to support Yazidi survivors, the global rollback of women's rights, and why protecting the most vulnerable must remain at the core of leadership.

The conversation also explores confidence, sponsorship, women's economic empowerment, and the importance of taking risks before you feel fully ready. Rona shares practical advice for women navigating leadership and why sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply jump.

This is a powerful conversation about purpose, resilience, impact, and choosing to lead with both strength and heart.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Rona's career journey through politics, public service, and leadership
• Advocating for women and girls in Canada and around the world
• The importance of confidence, resilience, and taking risks
• Why women need sponsorship, not just mentorship
• Economic empowerment and women in leadership
• What gives Rona hope about the next generation
