In this episode of Unstoppable Women, Julie Tague is joined by Jess Harman for a powerful conversation about what really happens after life-changing events.

Jess shares her experience of post-traumatic growth and why the language of “reinvention” never quite fit. Instead, she explores the idea adjusting how you live, lead and choose what matters, without losing who you are.

This is an honest, grounded discussion about resilience, boundaries, identity and finding meaning after challenge. No platitudes. No performative strength. Just real insight into how women move forward when life doesn’t go to plan.

If you’re at a turning point, questioning what’s next, or quietly recalibrating your own path – this episode is for you.

We open Season 2 of Unstoppable Women with Sharon Parmar – Chief Heart Officer and CEO of Humanity Works.

In this deeply honest conversation, Sharon shares her personal journey through trauma, burnout and identity shift, and how it reshaped her understanding of leadership, resilience and success. From corporate ambition to heart-led leadership, she explores what it really means to recalibrate rather than reinvent – and why human connection is not a “soft” skill, but a critical one.

Together, we unpack:

• Why resilience is built through people, not pressure

• How identity shifts can feel unsettling – and why they’re necessary

• The difference between pushing through and recalibrating

• The character traits Sharon believes define truly unstoppable women

This episode also marks the beginning of Season 2’s deeper focus, building on insights from Series 1 and feeding directly into the Unstoppable Women book and live research project, created with Sarah Bar Lev – exploring the shared traits, patterns, and stories of women who move through change with courage and clarity.

If you’re navigating change, questioning who you’re becoming, or craving a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone – this conversation is for you.

And if you’re feeling called to share your own story, this season is being shaped in real time. There may be space for you to join the conversation – just get in touch.

Unstoppable Women is a podcast that celebrates real stories of courage, clarity and reinvention - women who’ve faced turning points and found the power to move forward on their own terms.

In this episode, I sit down with Razane Boustany, a Lebanese project manager whose international career in the justice sector has taken her from Brussels to Rome to Qatar. We talk about what growth really looks like - the messy, human kind that happens when life pushes us to stop, reflect and start again.

This conversation is full of heart, honesty and perspective. Razane reminds us that transformation often starts in the quiet moments when we finally listen to ourselves.

Here’s what we cover:

🌍 How travel and culture shape the way we work and see the world⚖️ Why innovation in justice starts by listening to people, not systems🔥 Her experience of burnout and how she found her way through it💬 The power of language and reframing: turning “lows” into “GLOWTH”💫 The importance of surrounding yourself with the right energy and people

I finished this episode absolutely buzzing. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments often bring the clearest growth - if we’re brave enough to sit in them.

This week, I speak with Jordan Graham, a learning and leadership expert and doctoral researcher at the University of Bath exploring gender diversity in corporate leadership and the talent pipeline of women aspiring to board positions.

Jordan’s journey is one of curiosity, courage and quiet confidence - from falling into leadership development “by accident” to shaping global conversations on how women rise.

Together, we talk about:
💡 The power of serendipity in shaping careers
🔥 How to “put doubt in a box” and act before you feel ready
🌍 What Jordan’s research is uncovering about women’s pathways to leadership
🤝 The importance of mentors, networks and allyship
❤️ The guilt many women carry and how to turn it into growth

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Emily Gallagher, founder of Motherbrand Coaching, to talk honestly about one of life’s biggest pivots - returning to work after maternity leave. Together, we explore identity, comparison, guilt and the power of reframing your story as a mother and professional.

Unstoppable Women is part of my Unstoppable by Design movement - a series that shines a light on stories of personal change and the characteristics that help women keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at them.

In this episode, I speak with Meg Waldron, Senior Academic Advisor, Adjunct Professor and Founder of Smart Solutions Tutoring. Based in Virginia, Meg has spent over twenty years helping students find their voice and confidence through education and writing - all while navigating her own pivots as a mother, entrepreneur and leader living with multiple sclerosis.

This conversation is part of the Unstoppable Women series - a collection of real, unfiltered stories celebrating women who have navigated transformation with clarity, courage and heart. These are the women I love talking to: women who have faced turning points in life or work and chosen to rebuild with intention.

Originally created to spotlight finalists from the Women in Change Awards, the series is now expanding. I'm opening up the conversation to women everywhere who are leading change in their own way - educators, founders, artists, innovators and everyday leaders who’ve found a way to turn disruption into direction.

Meg’s story embodies what it means to be Unstoppable by Design - curious, adaptable and quietly courageous. She reminds us that integrity isn’t about doing it all; it’s about doing what aligns.

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, I speak with Chidera Arum, a Nigerian-trained lawyer turned global strategist whose journey has taken her from Nigeria to Geneva, Canada and France.

Chidera’s story is one of curiosity, gratitude and resilience. She shares how her parents - teachers, entrepreneurs and farmers - became her superheroes, instilling in her the values of education, hard work and integrity. She opens up about reframing failure as feedback, embracing unexpected career paths, and carrying forward her roots into every new chapter of her life.

Her mantra is simple yet powerful: “Life is beautiful and I want to see every part of it.”

This conversation is a reminder that being unstoppable isn’t about following a perfect plan. It’s about choosing curiosity, holding fast to your values, and finding beauty even in the hardest moments.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired by Chidera’s unstoppable journey.

It’s a rich and inspiring conversation about how to thrive through change at work and at home.

Harriet shares her journey of leading transformation at work while navigating the profound identity shift of motherhood.
