Why Belonging, Representation, and Self-Belief Matter: Insights from Molly and Rosie Kmita

Épisode 180

jeudi 27 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:02:06

Former professional footballers Mollie and Rosie Kmita and now founders of The Powerhouse Project join me for one of the most authentic leadership stories we’ve had on the podcast.

This episode is packed with real leadership stories you rarely hear: the setbacks, the identity shifts, the emotional toll, and the courage it takes to keep showing up when things don’t go your way.

Mollie and Rosie openly share:

What it took to succeed in a male dominated world
How to lead through failure after two businesses didn’t work out
How they learnt to slow down without losing ambition
How they have evolved their identity from footballers to business owners
The impact people-pleasing had on their leadership decisions
How they have had to learn to lean into conflict

Mollie and Rosie show what success after repeated failure actually looks like - the mindset resets, and the quiet self-belief you need to keep going.

These are everyday leadership stories delivered with humour, honesty and heart, the kind that remind you anything is possible when you focus, put the work in, and back yourself.

We Cover:

00:00 – Introduction

01:12 – Growing up in boys’ football and learning to belong

05:04 – Why young women in sport need better pathways

09:31 – Finding confidence in environments not built for you

14:42 – How childhood trauma shapes your drive

20:50 – Coping with loss while still showing up

26:19 – When resilience turns into survival mode

33:08 – The guilt behind always saying yes

38:12 – “We haven’t sat still for 16 years”

46:54 – Rebuilding identity beyond football

52:33 – Learning to slow down without losing ambition

58:48 – What leaders can do to create real change

01:00:31 – A message for leaders and organisations that want to make real change

01:26 – Why Zelda broke her NDA after years of silence

03:37 – What really happens when you speak up against power

Joanna Howes: Building Confidence: The Journey to Backing Yourself as a Leader

Saison 13 · Épisode 99

mercredi 17 avril 2024 • Durée 26:07

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m talking about the art of backing yourself as a leader. This is a topic that is very close to my heart and I wanted to spend some time discussing it today.

I’m debunking the myths surrounding self-assurance and arrogance and why backing yourself isn’t arrogance, it’s actually caring for yourself, celebrating what you're able to do, and loving who you are.

I also discuss why you have to learn to empower yourself through investing in you and building that trust with yourself and what you’re capable of.

Key takeaways include:

● Sharing my personal journey with low self-confidence
● Exploring the craving for external validation and its implications
● Embracing the highs and lows of confidence in leadership roles
● Recognising the tendencies of leaders lacking self-backing
● Encouraging personal growth through stepping out of comfort zones
● Elevating performance by setting higher standards for oneself

mercredi 10 avril 2024 • Durée 35:03

● Dealing with defensiveness when ideas are contested

Joanna Howes: People Power: Unlocking Potential Through Understanding

Saison 12 · Épisode 95

jeudi 21 mars 2024 • Durée 15:29

In episode 95 of the podcast, I am diving into the need to understand other people.

Have you ever found yourself getting frustrated with others for not understanding what you’re trying to say? It may make perfect sense to you but they just aren’t getting it. This is because we all think differently and the way you understand things isn’t necessarily the way other members of your team do.

When we take the time to not just know each other, but really understand each other, we can achieve deeper connection and increased performance.

Key takeaways include:

● The key to a successful team
● The impact of ego on team connection
● How you can enter the world of others to improve performance
● How too many assumptions are being wrongly made due to a lack of understanding
● The fastest way to build trust with those around you

Sarat Pediredla: Navigating Acquisitions and Downturns: Building a Resilient C-Suite and Making Unpopular Decisions with Purpose

Saison 12 · Épisode 94

jeudi 14 mars 2024 • Durée 40:45

In episode 94 of the podcast, I speak with Sarat Pediredla, CEO of hedgehog lab.

Join us as we discuss the importance of recognising that everyone has their strengths, but some people are just not right for your company. While it can be tempting to people please and get curious about how you can fix poor performance from team members, investing in the wrong people can inevitably be a risk to your organisation.

We also delve into the power of building a culture of psychological safety amongst your team and why this is an important measure of the team’s overall success.

Key takeaways include:

● The challenges of navigating the acquisition of a company and building a new C-suite
with a 20% downturn
● The realities of having at least 50% of the current decisions being unpopular and how
to respond to this
● Being challenged over focusing on culture at the expense of business
● The key to creating a strong leadership team is knowing and understanding each other in and outside of work
● The danger of believing that asking for help is a weakness and how much time that can cost you
● Surrounding yourself with the right people is the best way to navigate challenges.
Sarat, once bound to be a brain surgeon, shifted to software engineering and moved to the UK.

With hedgehog lab, he aspires to lead the world’s biggest and best digital product
consultancy.

Joanna Howes: Putting the Right Part of You In Charge of Your Leadership

Saison 12 · Épisode 93

jeudi 7 mars 2024 • Durée 20:29

In episode 93 of the podcast, I’m exploring how you can make sure that you are putting the right part of you in charge of your business and leadership.

This idea comes from Internal Family Systems, which was created by Dr. Richard Schwartz. It’s the idea that we as humans are all made up of a system of protected parts that we can manage and use when needed. Think of it like your own internal leadership team.

It’s risky not to have the right part of you in charge, so join me as I explore how you can make sure you have the right part in the driver’s seat of your leadership.

Key takeaways include:

● Understanding your internal world in order to self-lead
● How to identify the different parts of you
● Tips for managing your own internal board of directors
● How G.I. Jo and Hippie Jo help champion me
