Some careers begin with a plan. Others begin with a quiet decision made far earlier than anyone expects.
In this episode of Naked at the Top, Aleyx sits down with Colleen Callander — a leader who started working in retail at just 16 and went on to become CEO of two of Australia’s most iconic fashion brands. But this conversation isn’t about polished confidence or highlight-reel success.
Colleen speaks candidly about imposter syndrome that never truly disappeared, burnout that hit at the peak of her career, and the internal stories that quietly shape how leaders show up every day. She shares why confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you build through action, reflection, and repetition.
This episode explores leadership through a deeply human lens — kindness as a strength, values as decision-makers, and environments where people genuinely want to do their best work. From redefining success to rebuilding after burnout, Colleen offers grounded insight for anyone navigating leadership, ambition, or self-belief.
If you’ve ever looked capable on the outside while questioning yourself on the inside, this episode will resonate deeply.
