In this episode, we explore the haunting ITV drama Believe Me, based on the true story of the victims of serial offender John Worboys — widely known as the "black cab rapist" — and the women who fought back against a justice system that repeatedly failed them.

Through a feminist lens, we unpack the invisible barriers and systemic injustices women continue to face — from victim blaming and people pleasing, to the ways women are conditioned to doubt themselves, minimise discomfort, and carry the burden of male violence.

Hosts: Lulu Minns & Mary Lobo

Lulu brings her perspective as a former criminal defence lawyer and criminology lecturer, while Mary shares insights from her background in investigative journalism and long-standing interest in true crime. Together, they discuss how these systems shape women's lives, relationships, safety, confidence, and sense of self.

This episode includes discussion of sexual violence, trauma, coercion, and failures within the criminal justice system. Please listen with care.

Key Takeaways

1. Victim Blaming Is Deeply Embedded in Society

The episode explores how women have historically been scrutinised for their behaviour, appearance, alcohol consumption, or perceived "risk-taking" following sexual assault. From questions around red nail varnish to why a woman accepted a drink, the discussion highlights how blame is subtly — and overtly — redirected onto victims rather than perpetrators.

2. Women Are Conditioned to Prioritise Politeness Over Safety

A central theme in the episode is the conditioning many women experience to remain agreeable, avoid conflict, and not appear "rude" — even when uncomfortable or unsafe. Lulu and Mary discuss how this conditioning can make boundary-setting difficult in dangerous situations and why systems often fail to understand this reality.

3. The Criminal Justice System Often Reflects a Male Perspective

Lulu and Mary examine how courtrooms, policing, and legal structures have historically viewed crimes against women through a male-dominated lens. The episode discusses concepts including victimology, "victim precipitation" theory, and epistemic injustice — where women's testimony and lived experiences are minimised or discredited.

4. These Injustices Impact All Women

The conversation moves beyond the individual case to explore the collective psychological impact violence against women has on society — including self-blame, hypervigilance, fear, and the ways women modify behaviour in everyday life to stay safe.

5. Change Is Possible — and Women Have Driven It

The episode also highlights the tireless work of survivors and campaigners, including Harriet Wistrich and the Centre for Women's Justice, whose legal challenge following Worboys' attempted parole led to significant changes in the parole review process and greater victim involvement. We now also need men to carry the mantle.

Film director Ali Ray joins Lulu Minns on She Rebel Radio to talk about Frida: Exhibition On Screen – the updated re-release of the documentary exploring the life, art and enduring legacy of Frida Kahlo. Recorded following the Brighton launch event at La Choza in collaboration with digital lifestyle magazine Brighton On The Inside, the conversation explores why Frida still resonates so powerfully today – from feminism, pain and disability to identity, activism and the politics of being seen.

Ali shares how making the film transformed her understanding of Kahlo beyond the familiar iconography, revealing the depth, intelligence and radical honesty behind the artist's work. Lulu and Ali also discuss the wider history of women artists being overlooked, including connections to Lee Miller, and why stories by and about women still matter so deeply now.

''Frida put the private experiences of women into art' - Ali Ray

The episode also explores:

– Brighton's connection to the film and why Ali thinks "if Frida was a town, she'd be Brighton"
– The impact of Frida's work on generations of women
– Art as a way of communicating pain and difficult female experiences
– The Tate Modern exhibition Frida: The Making of an Icon
– Why female artists are so often remembered for everything except their work

In this episode of She Rebel Radio, we explore the most common traps and triggers faced by women leaders.

Common Traps:

1. Self-Doubt: Navigating a masculine world and structure can erode trust in our own abilities and instincts.
2. Balancing Daily Life: Women are cyclical beings, and finding balance often requires looking at longer periods rather than just day-to-day.
3. Awareness of Phases: Understanding personal seasons, such as menstrual cycles, personal growth cycles and life stages, is crucial for managing both personal and professional life.

Common Triggers:

1. Comparison: Social media and societal expectations can lead to self-criticism and anxiety.
2. Visibility Pressure: The need for visibility and/or validation in professional and marketing contexts can cause stress.
3. Difficulty Saying No: Struggling to say no can lead to overcommitment, resentment and guilt.

• What are the three most common traps women struggle with?
• What are the three most common triggers women face?

Join us to explore these critical questions and find strategies to overcome these challenges.

Where are you going? What is your main objective/purpose and the outcome that you are hoping to reach?

So often, I see women setting off for a journey without thinking through their actual destination and one that is fulfilling to them.

When we seek to fix things outside of ourselves (rather than from within), what is inevitable is finding yourself at yet another empty destination (of which there is no space for in the new paradigm).

This week we explore ' the external fix' which leads to empty destinations and how to find an internal fix which leads to a brighter and more fulfilled destination.

"An empty destination is one which is devoid of all meaning and one which takes too much sacrifice to even get there"

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why you need to DECIDE on where you are going.

• How to pick a fulfilling destination and not another empty one.

• Why women can be more prone to picking an empty destination.

• How the external fix contributes to an empty destination & how to identify that trap.

• Why introspection is key to finding a more fulfilling destination.

Are you treading water? Just keeping your head above water?

Are you fed up with continuing to make no progress and constantly waiting for something to happen where things might change?

The Pandemic has forced so many of us to tread water but as we emerge from lockdown - it is time to move forward and for you to move forward powerfully.

During this episode we explore the dreaded consequences of continuing to tread water and several solutions you can use to stop the tread and start to swim (or even ride the wave) instead.

"We can only Tread Water for a limited period of time before we become exhausted, burn out and eventually drown"

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• We explore what treading water is and how this may be playing out for you.

• The consequences of treading water and staying stuck without progress.

• We explore the potential solutions you can map out to stop the tread.

SRR 46 : Discovering our Cultural Inheritance with Bethany Webster

Bethany Webster joins me this week and is considered a global expert on healing the "Mother Wound", something we inherit to varying degrees as women living in patriarchy. To heal this core wound, Bethany teaches women how to discover their own "Inner Mother".

During this episode we discuss our cultural inheritance as women as being 'less than' men and how this manifests personally, culturally, spiritually and at planetary level.

"Our cultural inheritance is as women — we get this message from birth that 'we are less than' which gets reinforced in so many ways. It's filtered through the family, school, church and everywhere , it's baked into society"

- Bethany Webster

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• We explore our 'cultural inheritance' as women and the 'mother wound'

• Discover the four levels we find the "mother wound" manifesting at

• How the 'mother wound' feeds into the roles women play of people pleasing, approval seeking and overachieving.

• Why there may be reluctance to look at the 'mother wound' and do the internal work.

• Why we have a cultural responsibility to do the 'inner work' as women.

• How your 'inner mother' can help you.

Additional Quote :

"The mother wound is the seat of our most de-habilitating beliefs and patterns. And the reason why is those beliefs about how to survive as a woman are fused with our deepest needs of love, safety and belonging "

Are you shirking responsibility and what is that costing you?

Do you find more responsibility a burden you don't have time for?

Do you prefer to stay the deputy in your life and business rather than play the lead role?

Is having too much responsibility, simply too much weight to carry?

Do you hide from responsibility &/or take responsibility for (and do) the things you shouldn't be?

This week on She Rebel Radio we explore how the word 'responsibility' can be triggering for women. We explore why that might be and where you may be taking responsibility for things which are not helpful to you or really within your control.

And importantly we discover the things you ought to be taking responsibility for.

'Not taking responsibility is like continually preparing for the race but never actually stepping over the start line' - Lulu Minns

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• We explore why the word 'responsibility' can be triggering for women and something we avoid.How avoiding it can harm you and the growth you want to make.

• The responsibility you need to ditch and things you need to take responsibility for instead.

• Discover four questions you can ask yourself to explore your relationship with responsibility and what is holding you back.

Dana Denis-Smith joins me this week for a special episode celebrating Women's History Month where she shares with us her first decade in business and how she also found the time to create the First One Hundred Years, a project celebrated the centenary of women in law throughout 2019 and is followed by the Next 100 Years.

Dana is a serial entrepreneur, former lawyer and international journalist. In 2010, she founded Obelisk Support, a London-based alternative legal services provider built around flexible, highly- skilled ex-City lawyers. During this episode Dana shares how her childhood, contrasting careers and time in India inspired her to becoming an entrepreneur and what the first ten years in business has taught her.

"It's about the methodology and the finish but then its also about how targeted you are and really at the end of the day — how motivated you are in seeing the goal being achieved, no matter how difficult it is to achieve it"

- Dana Denis-Smith

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why she retrained as a lawyer whilst being a journalist.

• How India has been a source of inspiration and place where her business ideas have been formed.

• Why spotting the problem is not enough, it's about distilling and creating powerful solutions.

• How her passion for optimising and problem solving as well as people and disliking waste created a powerful business model for her.

• Why she has never been afraid of failure and trusted whatever happened would make her a bigger and better person.

• What inspired her (and how she found the time) to start the First 100 Years Project around her business and motherhood.

• What is next for women and entrepreneurship and how she plans to continue to support women founders in the legal profession.

Additional Quote :

''The legal profession and journalism was such a contrast but it gave me a sharper focus of what I was good at. Sometimes it's good to be a fish out of water as then you realise you like the water and where you can flourish "

To celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month : today, I talk about several ways women underplay themselves and their businesses. I ask the question :

"Where are you not using your knowledge, your experience and wisdom - where are you not leading with that and stepping up as the expert?"

- Lulu Minns

Put on your seatbelt as I delve into the five ways women act as less than important in their businesses and the wider impact this can be having. We wrap up in imagining a 2020 where you are doing the opposite of all of those things.

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Exploring several ways in which women underplay and perform in a restrained way.

• How we should really be sharing the work of other women

• Why you need to step up as the expert you are

• How your business idea needs to be validated (rather than validating yourself)

• Why you need to make decisions and quickly

• The filter you can use to decipher the free content that is worthwhile

This episode is for you — if you have found yourself learning all the business strategies and it hasn't worked for YOU. Or if you've been feeling overwhelmed by all the strategies that are available and don't know where to start.

We dive into why women from positions of prestige favour strategy over identity when they start their businesses but why it needs to be the other way around as strategy without identity is futile.

"The real problem — is when you go for strategy without looking at the identity piece. Yet how can you nail your niche or know who your ideal client is when you don't yet know, who you are or what your business stands for?"

- Lulu Minns

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why business strategies and processes may not be working for you

• I share two crucial pieces of identity that helped me root my business

• Why women leaving prestigious positions have to reconnect with their identity

• The idea of transitional stress coupled with the bombardment of marketing strategies leading to overwhelm

• The homogenisation of the online business space

• Why identity and discovering more of your inner essence will support you moving forward

This week, Karen Dobres an elected Director of Lewes Football Club also known as Equality FC which is the first football club in the world that pays its female players the same as the men which not only means equal pay, but an equal level of coaching and the same quality of strengths' and conditioning training.

During this episode, we discuss how Football teaches us some lessons as to why the game is representative of what is and has happened for women on a wider scale by being excluded from business. We explore why it's crucial we create a level playing field for women in both in prestigious positions and in business.

"For so long, female players have been accepting crumbs from the men's table and the reason is they've had to overcome so much to be there in the first place"

- Karen Dobres

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• How being a non-football fan led her to being an elected director of a football club

• Why women players are 'behind' the male teams (this will shock you)

• How football for women is representative of society and women in business

• How Lewes FC have marketed and created support for the women's team

• Why we need male bastions to support and even initiate a level playing field for women

• How female footballers can provide as role models for women in their businesses

During this episode, I share with you exactly why when leaving your prestigious position and starting your business of significance - you need to dial up your intuition and dial down your instinct. I highlight and illustrate the differences between these two things and why dialling up your intuition is essential.

We explore why as women we can be hardwired for some instinctive behaviour that's not beneficial to growing a business yet when we tune in with intuition -- its a super power we can actually leverage. We explore the core differences between Intuition and Instinct, how you can identify which one you are leading from and the different outcomes you can expect.

"It's important as women we are having a conscious conversation with ourselves in doing the opposite of what our instincts may tell us—dialling it right down.

But when it comes to your intuition, make the space to listen to the super power you have as it will create a trail for you to step into your genius"

- Lulu Minns

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why your instinct will dial up when leaving your prestigious position

• Why intuition is where you actually want to lead from and a super power

• How intuition and instinct are different in nature

• The instincts women in business may need to conquer

• How you can identify Intuition vs Instinct

• The different outcomes you can expect when dialling up or down

This week, former BBC producer, Confidence Speaker, Author and Personal Impact Expert : Esther Stanhope joins me as we say Goodbye to Glossophobia and banish the fear of public speaking.

During the episode we explore the issues around Women being reluctant to speak up in public including in the boardroom, on stage and as a speaker in business. Esther shares her top tips for women and her experience as to why as women can be reluctant to show up as the expert. She also talks about why she left the BBC to start her own business and her initial reluctance to also speak up.

"When it comes to communication and speaking up, you are never going to be 100% sure. So let's make a pact now and just go for being 80% sure. My first tip is to say to yourself — I'm just going for 80% today"

- Esther Stanhope

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• The 60% phenomenon men need to speak up compared to 99-200% for women

• How to create the scene and stage for being in the spotlight

• Why it needs to be normal to see more women speaking up

• How we can mix power, warmth and our oddities to be an asset when speaking

• What you should be visualising instead of a 'naked audience'

• Power Posing and how you can use it (and what to wear)

• Why public speaking is both a formula and an art

Esther's advice for She Rebels :

"If there is anything women need to do differently, we have to have a bit more courage. And use power mixed with warmth. Warmth is about being generous and sharing with your audience"

- Esther Stanhope

During this episode Sara explains how she was inspired by businesses disrupting broken systems and we discuss what it takes to effectively start a 'business for good' and the challenges you are likely to face and overcome. And why its so important to surround yourself with likeminded people and communities.

During this episode I discuss why we shouldn't just be "retaining" women in prestigious positions and why we also need to support the brave women who are ready to exit those positions and create new platforms for success.

We explore the reasons that have been given as to why women are leaving prestigious positions and how we have barely scratched the surface for the unconscious bias that exists for women in traditionally male dominated roles. I ask important questions around whether equality is enough and how do we begin to shape the world of prestige with more feminine based principles?

"As women we are expected to fit into patriarchal versions of success. And we are expected to be contained within its structures, systems and it's rules. It's no wonder so many of us feel trapped, caged and suffocated."

- Lulu Minns

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• I discuss my decision to exit the legal profession

• We explore the reasons why women are being called to leave prestigious positions which is not meeting the need for our significance and ambition

• Why we need to stop using the word "retain" and what it actually means

• The masculine shape of prestigious positions and unconscious bias that exists

• If asking for equality in prestige is really enough

• Why exclusion is the real key to diversity and essential for women

• How we must consider finding the space for feminine based principles and how entrepreneurship allows us to do that

• And why we must support women who are brave enough to exit those positions

Founder of Blue Health Coaching, Ocean Activist and Blue Mind Award winner Lizzi Larbalestier joins me this week where she shares how water ripples through her purpose and how each of us can use blue environments to ask important questions about possibility, purpose and why each of us are here.

During this episode, Lizzi explains how the ocean encourages us to slow our breathing whereby we become more aware and connected to our heart rhythm and body which enables us to make decisions from the entire nervous system. This allows us as humans to check in with our individual eco system and the wider one as well. We discuss how living in a digital world which values structure and certainty fuels the inability to make sensory decisions and navigate change effectively.

"The beach is a space of continual transition. There is a lack of being static and that reminds us that change is constant "

- Lizzi Larbalestier

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why as humans, we are built to connect with water.

• How you can use blue environments (even in urban areas) to ask questions about purpose, possibility and why you are here.

• How being at the beach allows for solitude and reflection and provides a strong formative, playful and restorative experience.

• How the beach causes us to slow down, be more open to exploring possibilities and ensures that our decision making becomes coherent and connected to the wider impact.

• How directed attention creates fatigue compared to soft fascination which opens up our entire nervous system.

• How the ocean automatically provides an environment for mindfulness.

Lizzi's advice for She Rebels :

"When you stifle creativity, you become very conditioned to the way you respond to circumstances and that actually doesn't allow for change"

- Lizzi L

Are you ready to make 2020 your most transformational year yet? How would less frustration and moving more gracefully into 2020 feel to you? Then dive into this episode where I explain why setting strict and rigid business goals vs softer intentions may be the exact thing that has been keeping you stuck.

When going through a period of transformation, intentions will set the course for you, allowing the space for growth, receptivity, flow and the co-creation you need to create change. Find out why intentions will act as a filter for the decisions you make and help to effortlessly move you in the right direction. During this episode, I discuss the the difference between intentions, strict business goals, annual resolutions and giving "things" your attention.

"Setting softer intentions are crucial when in a period of transformation vs strict business goals which will create frustration" - Lulu Minns

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• Why you need to start the new year, decade, month and every day with intentions.

• Why intentions are crucial when in a period transformation compared to rigid strict business goals which will create frustration and the need to control.

• How intentions are feminine in nature and require openness, receptivity and the space for growth.

• Intentions vs strict business goals, resolutions and attention.

• How business goals and the measurable aspects can lie underneath the intention.

• Why resolutions are often clouded in lack with nothing to replace the gap with.

• How attention energises and can spotlight a problem rather than transform or change anything.

• I share 3 journaling tools with you to start tuning in with those intentions for the year ahead.

• Why you should end the year, month and day with gratitude which is an important alignment piece of the puzzle.

Female CEO and Co-Founder Alex Bailey joins me this week — where she shares 5 years into her business journey, who inspires her, the compelling vision which pulls her forward and the organic route her business took which gives the ultimate freedom in making important decisions which are purpose led.

With a traditional background in Occupational Psychology, Alex pioneered the first strengths- based performance programme to a UK organisation in 2004 and went on to scale this out in a global role to 27 countries and 65,000 people at Aviva.

During this episode, Alex further discusses how "fear" is not a good basis for change and how at Bailey and French Ltd, they place people as the expert in their own environment using new experiences to inspire openness and receptivity to change. With the world undergoing rapid transformation, Alex discusses how being purpose led with a focus on humanising the future world of work underpins everything she does.

"We are hurtling towards a very transformed future and in the process loosing the art of meaningful human connection and conversation. We must do better"

- Alex Bailey

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• How occupational psychology and the early part of her career was quite rigid in thinking and diversity.

• How creating change need not be complex but can in fact be very simple.

• The discrimination faced as a female CEO but also how diversity is being demand led by the marketplace.

• The limits of "fear" as a basis of change rather than inspiring openness and receptivity

• How her company focused on providing solutions for clients and not the competition.

• The business leaders and compelling vision which inspires her daily.

• The need for boldness and a radical approach to business and the world of work.

• Why the focus on setting up quickly, rapid growth and selling out is outdated versus purpose led businesses with a vision for cultural evolution.

• Why she listens to her intuition and has learnt to dial up her own voice.

• Why finding your tribe is crucial to testing your 'boldness'.

• How she checks in, reflects and asks what it is she wants to be know for.

• On how sharing her "why" openly means her leadership team can also hold her accountable to it.

Alex's advice for She Rebels :

"I regularly reflect and ask MYSELF the question around - is this the right thing? Is this really what I want to be known for? Is this what I really want held up against my name? It really is important to dial up the volume of your own voice"

This week I celebrate 5 years since I handed in my notice as a criminal defence lawyer, litigator and Head of Department. I take you through my story of why I made that decision and 3 things that helped me decipher that 2015 was the year I decided to build a new arena for myself to play in.

During this episode, I discuss how Kimberley Motley's quote of "getting out of the boxing ring' resonated with me so deeply and how that women leaving corporate and building their own arenas is indicative of what is happening on a wider scale. Is 2020 the year, you're going to get serious about building your new arena? Is it time to assume a new version of power and significance? Is it time to express yourself more creatively instead of being conditioned to follow the rules? And why it's crucial to win the internal battle first and allow your intuitive side to take the lead.

"I discovered that I was no longer in the arena I wanted to play in — I needed to lay the foundations for myself for a new arena to play in, one built on my terms, with more meaning, more significance and built on feminine presence."

- Lulu Minns

This Week on She Rebel Radio:

• I explain how I decided it was the right time to take the leap to build my new arena.

• I celebrate 5 years since making that decision and share with you 3 things to consider

  when deciding if it's YOUR TIME to build your new arena.

• We discuss hard power (threats, competition, forcing, fear) vs Soft power based on

  empathy, understanding, support and collaboration.

• How exhausting exerting power in the wrong way can be

• Needing to express yourself creatively vs being stifled, following the rules, templates,

  systems and structures.

• How systems and structures in your new arena may also be keeping you stuck.

• Why finding your authentic voice is essential to creating that new arena

• Why winning the internal battle of allowing intuition to take the lead is crucial

• And why embodying change is more than mindset and connects with feminine presence

Clare Griffiths is an award-winning entrepreneurship educator and social entrepreneur whose passion is to enable women to reach their business goals. In June 2018, Clare launched The Thrive Effect, a social enterprise on a mission to give female founders and women in business the inspiration, knowledge and connections they need to build a business that lasts.

Clare joins me today where we discuss what it takes for women to Thrive in business including the latest research on the core barriers preventing female founders from starting and succeeding in their own businesses.

We also discuss the difficulties women leaving prestigious positions encounter when starting their own business which means embracing a whole host of new skills sets and mindsets from idea generation to implementation and learning to do it all initially without the support of a team.

"Listen to your gut, when something isn't right - be confident enough to change it. Pivot, change the focus and even the business model"

- Clare Griffiths

This week on She Rebel Radio :

• The latest research papers from Deloitte and the 3 core underlying barriers for female founders

• Clare's insights on why women don't lack self-belief but the self-belief and confidence in their own ideas

• Why learning to test and validate your ideas and not being afraid to pivot is key

• Her direct experience on why women thrive when supported by other women

• The lack of ACCESS women have to networks, role models and funding but how new ways and ideas are being generated

• How the Thrive Effect is supporting women in building their networks and having access to female founders and role models

• How the corporate world encourages a linear path and not to break out to do your own thinking including creativity, innovation, problem-solving, being self-critical as well as analytical

• Why women leaving prestigious positions often have huge business assets but without the support of a team - have to learn to juggle the balls including new skills sets and mindsets

• We discuss how ditching the rules and expectations from male leaders is crucial.

• How the Thrive Effect started as a magazine before changing to a membership organisation.

Clare's advice for She Rebels :

"Nothing ever quite works out as you originally anticipated! You can have the most beautifully researched business plan and can be out of date within 24 hours of launch"

This week we talk about why becoming a different version of you is essential when you're moving through your business journey. And if you want to make it a success — why your personal growth and development is essential to you stepping out and into your new business venture.

During this episode, I discuss why the evolutionary journey is more granular than it can appear in the online world and why there is a process of learning things before you can begin to expect acceleration and your entrepreneurial plane to start taking off. I also explain how the unknowns and taking action despite this differs from what you've been taught in the corporate world.

"Having a position prestige is a very linear path, you know the outcome and all the steps before you get there. But the journey of a business owner is very different and the feminine one is even more foggy and unknown"

- Lulu Minns

This Week on She Rebel Radio:

• Why you need to take gradual and baby steps as well as big leaps.

• The feminine spiral of success vs rigid goals and expectations.

• Why its important to sow the seeds and build the foundation first.

• Why the Heroines journey is very different having many destination and not just one.

• How softer intentions will allow an unfolding around you instead of restricting your thinking by way of linear goals.

• Why sustainability is key versus grabbing the low hanging fruit

• How the evolutionary process is getting to know yourself more which enables you to

  show up more fully in your business.

• How I work with clients via the Rebel Heart Club Mastermind and Breakout Strategy workshop which is coming to Brighton in Jan 2020.

This week we dive into a totally different perspective on what your gifts actually may be and why they might also be your curse. Trying to nail down what your great at is difficult when leaving a position of prestige. You've maybe dived into personal development, all the personality tests, looked at what you loved doing as a child and asked others what you were great at.

But during this episode, I ask you to flip the script and instead ask - what is it you were criticised for? What did you get into trouble for? What were you picked on for and what were your sufferings as a child? Where is your gift in being different? How can you leverage that as an asset and not let it drag you down? There cannot be strengths without its opposite weaknesses. Where might your gifts be hidden in all of that?

I also discuss how the curse of competence can keep many women stuck from finding their gifts and what they're really great at.

" Where our gift anchors us, might show up as a weakness elsewhere - that's why it can also curse us and get us into trouble" - Lulu Minns

This Week on She Rebel Radio:

• We flip the script and search elsewhere for your gifts and zone of genius.

• Discuss how the curse of competence and being good at anything can keep you stuck.

• Why strengths cannot exist without its opposite weaknesses.

• How the things you got into trouble for, picked on and criticised for — could be the key

  to your gift/s.

• How you can leverage your differences as an asset and not a curse.

• Biopics and how musicians stories guide them to their greatness (and yours)

Are you scared of remaining insignificant? Perhaps you feel the need to step into your significance, but you're not sure of how to get on the right path? You need to leave the feeling of unimportance - of fading into the background - behind and figure out what has been holding you back. Garner the support of other women to step up to be visible as a powerful leader with presence and integrity. This is what you were born to do.

Today I share how I realized I was destined to find significance in my professional life and how I was inspired on that journey by a variety of female role models and mentors. I discuss how you can change your narrative and find significance as a leader and why the path is different for each one of us. I also encourage you to consider what is holding you back from seeking noteworthy positions and preventing you from stepping up to be seen as the committed, powerful, significant woman you are.

"It takes standing in your power. It takes working with integrity. It takes being grounded and embodying your values so much that you vibrate it through the very core of your being." - Lulu Minns

This Week on She Rebel Radio:

• What significance truly means for women
• Why women fear significance and the importance of overcoming this fear
• The correlation between significance and accountability
• Why you need to think about who inspires you and gives you courage
• How to persist in a culture which does not favor women
• Identifying what you need to give up to find your significance
• The process of becoming comfortable with being visible

Lousia Hirst is the founder of Orelia, a boutique jewelry brand that was born from her love of travel and a desire to source beautiful, ethical jewelry at an accessible price point. After leaving her prestigious job as a jewelry buyer at the high street jewelry chain, Accessorize, Louisa took a sabbatical to travel before taking the plunge into entrepreneurship. As a mother, Louisa juggles family life with her new roles of public speaking, coaching, and mentoring entrepreneurs.

We discuss the benefits of giving yourself time to process ideas and trusting your intuition to guide you along the right path. We discuss the importance of speaking out when your gut is telling you 'no.'

You want to grow your business and expand your reach, but finding the right time can be hard. Our society and global views often value expansion over contraction, but before you can get bigger, you need to assess where you're at right now and where you want to go. Autumn is a perfect time to re-assess and reflect on your business goals and build a foundation for your future expansion.

Today, I discuss the process of contraction and why we need to reframe it as a necessary part of the growth cycle. I share my journey of contracting different aspects and processes in my business and why it was a vital part of building a robust and sustainable business. I also dive into the feminine principles of contraction, why it is an essential female process, and why it should be treated as the other side of the coin to expansion.

"The braver you are in your period of contraction, the more energy you'll muster and gather to have the next period of expansion" - Lulu Minns

This Week on She Rebel Radio:

• How a period of contraction can build a strong foundation for your business
• Why contraction is essential in nature
• Why we should consider contraction as significant as the expansion
• How to learn to contract
• Why the pressure of constant expansion creates tension
• How to create a plan for the future with a period of quiet reflection
