Not everyone needs to stand in the spotlight, but nothing happens without the ones holding it up.

In this minisode, I’m reflecting on my conversation with Conor Buckley, founder of Human Collective - a values-led fashion brand that champions quiet impact, equality, and inclusion.

This chat reminded me of the people behind the scenes, the dads, the partners, the allies, who don’t always get the attention, but whose support makes all the difference. We talk about legacy, true allyship, and what it means to build something that lasts, without shouting the loudest.

It also reminded me that women’s progress doesn’t happen without men on board too, and why it’s not about perfection, but participation.

✨ In this episode:

• The quiet power of Conor’s leadership
• His reflections on both his parents’ impact
• Why real change happens through collective effort
• What allyship looks like in action, not just intention
• How community moved the needle in the Marriage Equality referendum
• Why I believe collaboration, not competition, drives progress
• And yes, I talked too much... but only because it meant so much
