Description

Lou Wardlaw, Chair of charity One in Five and Founder of Grounded Together, is one of the optomistic, hopeful and joyous humans I know!

In this episode Lou takes us through her journey from curious student to corporate executive, now executive coach and a committed mental health advocate and leader.

Lou opens up about the opportunities that came her way and the personal challenges that shaped her path, and why hope, self-care, and leading with heart have become the foundation of her work. It's a conversation about what happens when lived experience becomes purpose.

So many gems of wisdom:-

• "Use your influence"
• "Don't disqualify yourself"
• "Choose hope"
• "Look for the lovely"
• "Lead with your heart"
• "Self care is not a reward, its a responsibility to ourselves"
