    Lady Lydia Davies, the inspiring founder and CEO of Osprey, joins us to share her journey from being a young athlete and musician in male-dominated fields to creating a powerful community for women in sports and entertainment. Her story is one of resilience and vision, motivated by the lack of mentorship she faced and her determination to empower others. Lydia takes us through how Osprey bridges the gender pay gap and offers women resources and opportunities to thrive in their careers. It's a conversation about turning challenges into change and building a network where women can support each other to succeed.

    Explore the expansive growth of the Global Women's Leadership Network, a community dedicated to supporting women across diverse fields, from Olympians to executives. This initiative, which started with humble online pods and pop-up events, has blossomed into a network of over 100 members in North America and Canada. We emphasize the pivotal role of mentorship, highlighting the big sister program that pairs college athletes with seasoned professionals. With an ambition that transcends borders, this network is on a mission to embrace language inclusivity and cultural diversity, ensuring every woman feels welcomed and has access to a wealth of resources globally.

    Balancing professional and family responsibilities is a challenge many face, but Stephanie, a single mother of two, shares her disciplined approach to integrating her children into her work life. We address the pressures of hustle culture in America and the need for harmony in managing multiple responsibilities. The episode also shines a light on Dr. Jen Welter's exciting initiative that empowers women through sports like football, offering them opportunities to learn alongside NFL coaches and players. As we explore the significance of women's influence in marketing strategies, we express our excitement for future endeavors that continue to elevate and support women in sports and entertainment.

  • David Smith MBE: Embracing Presence, Redefining Identity, and Finding Freedom Beyond Societal Labels
    Feb 15 2025

    Send us a text

    What happens when you stop defining yourself by societal labels and start embracing the beauty of just being?

    Join us for an enlightening conversation with David Smith MBE, who shares his personal evolution from identifying solely as an athlete to finding freedom in presence. David opens up about his journey through paralysis, shifting his focus from achievements to the impermanence of life, and how these experiences taught him to live as a human being rather than a human doing. Through his story, we explore the liberation that comes from releasing rigid identities and appreciating life's transient beauty.

    Our discussion takes a poignant turn as we examine the disconnect between personal fulfillment and societal expectations. We share the touching story of a man who lost his passion for fishing amidst the relentless pursuit of material success, highlighting how modern life's pace can lead to depression and a lack of deeper purpose. Reflecting on personal adversities, such as illness, we consider the lessons learned through suffering and the potential for post-traumatic growth. We question how we might reclaim meaning and happiness against the backdrop of technological advancement and societal pressures.

    The episode wraps up by exploring the importance of human connection and finding balance. Personal anecdotes about village life warmth and unexpected urban encounters underscore the significance of simple gestures of humanity. We contemplate the wisdom of being present and self-aware, drawing inspiration from Buddhist philosophies and timeless questions about our roles in the world. With insights on balance and moderation, we encourage listeners to "be where your feet are," prioritizing meaningful interactions and embracing life's finite nature.

  • Dr. Nico Van Oudenhoven: Finding Collateral Beauty Amidst Adversity and Inspiring Global Youth Empowerment
    Jan 19 2025

    Send us a text

    What if beauty could be found in the most unexpected places—even amidst adversity and hardship? Join us as we explore this compelling question with our special guest Nico van Oudenhoven, who introduces the paradigm of "collateral beauty," a concept that stands in stark contrast to the familiar notion of collateral damage. Through Nico’s work with young people and families in challenging environments, we uncover stories of resilience and creativity that emerge even in the darkest situations. From slums that paradoxically draw admiration to communities sparking hope during conflict, Nico's insights reveal how beauty and hardship often coexist in surprising ways.

    Journey with us as we examine the powerful role of creativity and empowerment in youth. Even as technology sometimes isolates, it also connects, offering young people a chance to engage with the world and build their self-confidence. Nico shares stories of young women in Iran finding empowerment through these global connections, and we discuss how parents can guide their children through this digital maze. Our reflection on children's rights leads us to confront the complexities of advocating for their intrinsic value, a subject that continues to evolve and challenge us.

    As global conflicts resurge, we see a new awareness and empathy emerging among today's youth. Drawing inspiration from figures like Greta Thunberg, we discuss how this younger generation demonstrates a strong sense of global citizenship and interconnectedness, embodying the essence of "collateral beauty." We also touch on its presence in professions like medicine and psychology, highlighting the need for humility, gratitude, and the recognition of beauty in the act of helping others. This episode leaves us hopeful for a compassionate future, driven by the awareness and unity of a connected world.
