An interview with Dr Joanna Martin founder of One of Many, a women's leadership community which started in the UK and is now global through its online community and trainings. She was a medical doctor and an actor before finding her mission as a coach helping women lead.
We talk about:

- Why women tend to burn out so easily
- The importance of setting boundaries so we can thrive better
- Why women are generally more unhappy now than at the time of the Women's Liberation Movement
- Why women need to find a new kind of power to be consistently effective
- How midlife women are often drawn to take more of a leadership role but need to find a way to do that without burning out
- Reframing feminine power as soft power – it does not mean weak
- We can bring more femininity to our lives without that being a mark against us
- How Covid has brought out wonderful examples of soft power leadership from women
- The five women's power types and why they're so powerful
- How we can access these power types to help us face challenges and access our strength
- The shared vision of women wanting to make a difference in the world
- The power of women coming together to effect positive change such as in the NHS during Covid, detention centres and environmental initiatives
- How Jo's medical, family and drama background impacted her work today
