Innovation In Early Breast Cancer Detection To Enhance Health Equity.

In this new episode of Narratives of Purpose's special series from the 2025 HIMSS European Health Conference, host Claire Murigande speaks with Alexander Antrobus, the CEO of Zedsen Ltd.

Zedsen aims to bridge the gap in breast cancer screening accessibility and ensure that all women, irrespective of age or ethnicity, receive timely and effective diagnoses. Zedsen's approach involves developing a novel device, enabling more accurate detection of cancer.

This innovation promises to make screening more accessible, affordable, and comfortable, particularly for younger women and those with high breast density, who are often overlooked in conventional screening paradigms.

How do you stay committed to a big vision when motherhood and business both demand so much from you?

Kristina Babina helps families access better childcare while building a growing daycare business, and in this episode we talk about what it really takes to think long term, build strong systems, and create something bigger than a job for yourself.

What Kristina shares:

• Why going back to work 7 days after giving birth was a deliberate business decision
• Why a good entrepreneur is never truly alone
• How the childcare system in French-speaking Switzerland puts pressure on families, and why she is pushing for a model that gives parents more choice and flexibility.

This stuck with me:

When Kristina talks about knowing the difference between being self-employed and being an entrepreneur. What matters is the mindset shift. Most mompreneurs are solopreneurs, but that does not mean they need to do everything themselves. Building something sustainable often starts with letting go of the idea that you have to carry it all alone and allowing yourself to rely on other people, systems, and support.

SAVE YOUR SPOT 🔥Back to Business MASTERMIND

Stepping off stress leave into a full return to work can feel like standing on a foggy bridge: part of you has healed, yet doubts still swirl. In this episode, Karina Schneider dismantles the myth of being “100% ready” and shows why you should view the return to work as part of recovery, not proof that you’re "all set". Through her client, Carla’s, real-life story—and five revealing questions—you’ll learn to separate lingering anxiety from genuine unreadiness, gauge energy stability, and build the support scaffolding that turns an extended absence or FMLA break into a sustainable comeback.

Karina also challenges the idea that a doctor’s “fit-to-work” note or the end of sick leave automatically equals confidence. Readiness lives on a continuum; these questions help you and your care team locate the safest next step—whether that’s negotiating phased duties, delaying another week, or confirming you’re good to go.

1. Readiness isn’t binary. Mental health recovery moves along a spectrum; good and bad days can co-exist.
2. Emotion ≠ decision. Fear about work may signal external uncertainties, not personal failure.
3. Energy stability matters. Consistent stamina and micro-tests (volunteering, structured tasks) reveal real capacity.
4. A care plan is non-negotiable. Pre-identifying triggers and supports prevents relapse once routines resume.
5. Know your non-negotiables. Boundaries around meetings, commute, or therapy anchor long-term reintegration success.

How do you create strategic pricing clarity? It starts with defining what success means to you. In this episode of Live with The Pricing Lady, I’m speaking with Anna Lundberg, business mentor and founder of One Step Outside.

Here’s what we cover:

– Why defining success is key to pricing with clarity

– Anna’s early struggles with undercharging

– The concept of the “integrity rate”

– Aligning pricing with lifestyle goals

– Mindset challenges around low pricing
