In this WomenWise episode, Azmina Airi, Group Financial Controller at Channel 4, shares the real story behind her career in global finance — the highs, the hurdles, and the moments that reshaped her perspective.
From travelling the world in audit, to leading major finance teams, to navigating motherhood and working through a cancer diagnosis, Azmina opens up about what leadership truly looks like when life doesn’t go to plan.
She reflects on choosing authenticity over fitting in, letting go of perfection, and learning to see work and life as one interconnected journey rather than a delicate balance.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stretched, overwhelmed, or unsure - and needed the reminder that you can still lead, grow, and thrive through life’s hardest moments.
