Leadership isn’t a straight line. And for many high-achieving women, it’s not ambition that drives the journey — it’s purpose, identity, and the courage to rebuild when life throws everything off course. In this powerful conversation, Sarah sits down with global CEO and leadership expert Micha-Rose Emmett, who opens up with remarkable honesty about losing her mum, losing her confidence, and slowly learning to rebuild belief from the ground up.
Across this deeply human and generous discussion, Micha-Rose shares how confidence is shaped, shaken, and strengthened. She reveals how reframing your inner voice changes the way you lead, why gratitude pulled her out of her darkest moments, and how stillness creates clarity in a world built on noise, comparison, and pressure.
Together, Sarah and Micha-Rose explore imposter syndrome, the loneliness at the top, the trap of 16-hour days, and the internal narratives that quietly define how we show up. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about perfection — it’s about purpose, connection, and owning who you really are.
Whether you’re an emerging leader, an experienced executive, or someone trying to redefine what success looks like, this conversation brings the practical insight and emotional honesty you’ll recognise in your own journey. Micha-Rose’s three pillars of authentic leadership close the episode with clarity you can use today.
