Women on a Mission with Sue Revell

How many of us can say that we’ve blown our whole life up for our mission? If you’re one of the 69,000 people who follow LuinLuland on Instagram you could be forgiven for thinking that her life is one long transatlantic venture of vintage visibility.

It’s almost unthinkable that someone with such vibrance, energy and passion in front of the camera would once (only a few years ago!) have struggled to show her teeth and find her voice.

So what happened? A diverse career that includes children’s social care in Cardiff, advertising in London, and creating vintage experiences with Airbnb in Portland took a new turn after the pandemic. Spurred on by an unexpected midlife encounter with the Vagina Whisperer, Lou’s increasing online visibility and the response of those who were drawn to her radiant online presence, all helped her to find her voice.

Ready to return to the UK, Lou prepared to leave her family and crowd-sourced the purchase of a lime green & shocking pink 35ft vintage disco motorhome, and began her drive across America on the Self Love Revolution tour (now in the UK!), encouraging other women to love themselves too.

Lou Featherstone is an accidental middle age influencer and positivity rebel (more below).

This episode is for women who want to find their own voice, step out of their comfort zone and feel empowered to love who they really are.

Looking back on Season Five, and reflecting on the stories and experiences shared by each of my guests, the word that stands out this season is fulfilment. Our external search for ‘more’ and our internal search for meaning.

Whether it’s a quest to give and be more so that we can be the difference that matters for others, or a deep personal need to achieve our own potential, there really is something for everyone in this season:

As I look back over the season, there really was something for every woman on a mission:

• Olukemi Ogunyemi on anti-racism: working together to challenge racism and build a better world for future generations (Ep 65 & 66)
• Heather Anstey-Myers on getting what you settle for and/or leading a more fulfilling life (Ep 67 & 68)
• Honor Wilson-Fletcher MBE on getting comfortable with discomfort and owning your own space (Ep 69 & 70)
• Kathryn Billing on the search for fulfilment in life and leadership and realising our full potential in order to live our best life (Ep 71 & 72)
• Andrea Byrne on infertility: the challenge of normalising conversation around taboo topics and taking time to be quiet too (Ep 73 & 74)
• Rachel Flower on resilience: how much one person can take and the importance of strategies to support mental resilience (Ep 75 & 76)
• Sherry Bevan on imposter syndrome and self doubt and what would be possible if you weren’t holding yourself back (Ep 77 & 78)

In the sharing of our stories and experiences, we encourage other women on a mission to do and BE more when all is going well, and we inspire others in those moments where we simply need to keep going too.  Whether you are short on time, new to the podcast, or would simply enjoy a recap on the rich learning we have heard from each guest, this summary of Season Five is for you!

What’s the difference between self doubt and full blown imposter syndrome, and why does it matter?  If you’ve ever experienced thoughts or feelings that make you feel like a fraud, you’ll know how much even a little self-doubt can hold you back.  

And when you’ve got a big mission to fulfil, the last thing you need is your mental monkeys running amok, asking who DO you think you are to do this!

In last week’s interview (#077) I talked to leadership consultant and coach, Sherry Bevan, about her mission to get more women into leadership roles in the technology sector. We talked about the power of authenticity and the difference it makes when you use different strategies to manage those moments where you feel really challenged in your mission.

Looking back on our conversation, in this week’s episode I take the opportunity to learn more about imposter syndrome and how it affects us when our experience is more persistent and intense than everyday self-doubt.  You’ll also hear 3 important questions that can help us disrupt the thinking that holds us back when doubt creeps in.

If you’re a woman on a mission who is tired of doubting yourself and holding back from being all that you can be, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

Episode 77: I'd Never Felt Like An Imposter with Sherry Bevan

What makes a true action taker? For Sherry Bevan, it’s her passion for making a difference, the way she can’t NOT take action when something needs fixing and her unwavering mission to get women to rule the world.

And in this interview you’ll hear something else.  Something that really stands out at a time where it’s suggested that over 70% of us have felt like an imposter  – and that’s where Sherry reflects on her career and shares how it has never really occurred to her that she wouldn’t be able to do the roles she’s been appointed to. What would be possible if we could all say that?

Sherry is a leadership consultant and coach who is on a mission to get more women into leadership roles in the technology sector. She specialises in partnering with technology and cybersecurity companies to attract, develop and retain female talent so they make progress on closing the gender pay gap.

This episode is for women who are leading change and want to be better at taking inspired action without compromising who you really are.

How much resilience does one person need is an interesting reframe on the oft asked question, how much can one person take.  When you have survived some of the toughest times as a loving human; challenged inequity in and through the legal system, and taken on politicians on major issues of injustice during a global pandemic, you might be forgiven for taking a well earned rest or pivoting into a less fraught career for your next life chapter.

In last week’s interview (#075) I talked to business coach and legal consultant, Rachel Flower about her multiple missions to rectify injustice, advocate for the underdog and tackle issues of equality and diversity. We learned how, in building resilience, Rachel looks for the gift in the hard times and carries her learning into the next opportunity to make a difference and become an even better version of yourself.

Looking back on our conversation, in this week’s episode I reflect on the importance of disrupting our thinking in challenging times and having strategies in place to build our mental resilience.

If you’re a woman on a mission who is looking to feel more resilient in times of challenge or uncertainty,  this week’s Insights episode is for you.

Normalising a conversation is a curious thing. Part of us wants to talk more, listen more and experience the healing power of not being alone in our experience.  Another part of us doesn’t know if we’re ready for what that might mean. What if it’s not just our story to share? Or we’re not in the right time or place to cope with the response?

In last week’s interview (#073) I talked to ITV presenter and host of the Making Babies podcast, Andrea Byrne. During our conversation she shared the story of her mission to tackle the stigma around infertility and how, when she was unable to give voice to her own story, she was inspired by the people who were sharing when she couldn’t.

Looking back on our conversation, in this week’s episode I explore the power of sharing when the time is right, and reflect on what we can learn from the three simple strategies that Andrea used to resist the pressure, stay safe and prepare for the time when it was her turn to speak out and lead her mission.

If you’re looking for permission to pause, recharge and reset, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

Episode 73: Infertility: It’s Time to Talk with Andrea Byrne

Normalising conversation about any taboo topic is a challenging mission. And when that topic is something you have deeply personal experience of, it takes the challenge to a whole new level: especially when the topic is as complex and emotionally charged as living with infertility.

It's an intense experience that changes lives and challenges relationships - with partners, family, friends and (especially) ourselves. It’s not just emotionally and physically exhausting, it can leave us questioning who we are at the deepest level of our own personal identity.

It’s not surprising that infertility can leave us feeling isolated on many levels. There is so much to make sense of, and how do you share a story that may not be yours alone to share?

Andrea has spent her professional life giving voice to other people’s stories and, as a result of her own experience navigating the world of fertility, she is on a mission to tackle the stigma and reduce the isolation associated with infertility.  A true story teller, she shares the story of her mission and how, during the period where she was simply unable to give voice to her own story, she was inspired by the people who were sharing when she couldn’t.

Andrea Byrne is one of the faces of ITV news, anchoring the BAFTA award-winning daily news programme, Wales At Six, as well as ITV’s national bulletins. Andrea also presents the current affairs programme Wales This Week and presents her own fertility podcast, Making Babies.

This episode is for anyone in need of inspiration that they just can’t find inside themselves right now, and for women who are leading change and want to feel more comfortable with sharing their own story. It’s an episode about identity, self-acceptance and self-belief.

In addition to her news portfolio, Andrea also presents the current affairs programme Wales This Week and presents her own fertility podcast, Making Babies.

Away from the newsroom, Andrea is a keen yogi, a novice stand-up paddle boarder, and a budding novelist. She’s also married to Wales and Lions legend, Lee Byrne.

Making Babies – A fertility podcast with Andrea Byrne

Are you living your best life? What does that mean for you? For some people it’s about power, money or status and all that they dream that will bring. For other people it’s about the quest for fulfilment, answering their calling and realising their full potential.

In last week’s interview (#071) I talked to Chief Fire Officer for Cornwall Fire & Rescue, Kathryn Billing. During our conversation she shared how a life of service to her community had become a personal search for deepening fulfilment, and her true sense of self, as she navigated the career path and stepped into leadership.

Looking back on our conversation, I explore three key themes that stood out for me: the pursuit of self-discovery, the power of language to create influence & impact, and the desire for self-actualisation and to be our best self.

If you’re looking to find fulfilment and deepen your understanding of who you need to be to realise your full potential, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

Episode 71: “Learning to Live My Best Life” with Kathryn Billing

When you’re truly brought up to believe that women can do anything, anything really is possible – including becoming the Chief Fire Officer. Driven by a heart for service, a love of community, and a deep desire to make a difference, Kathryn built a varied and interesting career, until her pursuit of improvement led her to discover that not all women in the fire service shared the same experience. Something had to change, and she shares her story of stepping up and confronting institutional sexism and committing to being part of the solution.

There were further challenges ahead. Making a difference and serving others had been the cornerstone of Kathryn’s career, but it was embarking on the journey of self-discovery that opened her eyes to the most important impact she had yet to make… finding how to make the shift from living her life in service of others, to loving herself enough to live her own best life.

Kathryn Billing is the Chief Fire Officer in Cornwall Fire and Rescue.  She’s a high performing woman with a heart for service and community, blending ambition & achievement with a deep desire to really make a difference, while having fun along the way.

This episode is for women who are leading change and want to learn more about leading others and themselves. It’s an episode about identity, self-acceptance and self-belief.

MORE ABOUT MY GUEST: KATHRYN BILLING (FULL BIO ON PODPAGE)

Kathryn Billing is the Chief Fire Officer for Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service. She joined the service as a retained firefighter in 1999 and she has built her career across a range of functions and locations, including training which, as you will hear, she loved very much. After a series of promotions she was appointed to Chief Fire Officer in 2021 and is exceptionally proud to hold this role in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Are you taking up your own space in the world?  And what does it mean, for you and your mission, when you diminish your presence through your physical movement and positioning, the language you choose or the thoughts you allow to occupy prime space in your mind?

In last week’s interview (#069) I talked to Chief Executive of the British Exploring Society, Honor Wilson Fletcher. During our conversation she shared how leaving home, and seeing the world through the eyes of those around her, had been a powerful catalyst in her mission to create fairness of opportunity for girls and women.

Looking back on our conversation, I explore three key themes that stood out for me: the value of safe space in enabling brave thinking and the exploration of opportunity and possibility;  the power of servant leadership; and the importance of taking up your own space in the world.

If you’re looking to think, dream & BE more creative and brave  in the change you are leading, this week’s Insights episode is for you.

Episode 69: “Taking Up Your Own Space!” with Honor Wilson-Fletcher

Imagine being the Chief Executive of an organisation that exists to take young explorers to extraordinary destinations - in the world AND in their own lives. Where the very raison d’être is to explore possibility, take young people out of their comfort zone and change their lives for the better.  What an opportunity to make a difference!

An opportunity made all the more exceptional when you’re a woman, leading in a highly male-dominated sector, and the first female CEO in the 90 year history of the organisation.

Honor Wilson-Fletcher is a servant leader, driven by her mission. A mission of fairness.  Fairness in the workplace. Fairness for girls and women. And fairness of opportunity to know who you really are.

Her story begins on a farm in Dorset, trying to make sense of life as an unhappy child grappling with mixed expectations.  In this deeply personal conversation,  Honor shares how her exploration to find who she really is began with a move to London, becoming self-sufficient, and learning to see the world through the eyes of those who saw possibility very differently to her own experience.

Her raging determination to find places that were fair drove her ambition to take up her space in the world and become the boss, so that she could shape the future and create fairness of opportunity for herself and others.

This episode is for anyone who would like to find their voice, get more comfortable with discomfort, and own their own space in the world.

Find Your Fire  - an introduction to the British Exploring Society

What does it mean to settle? And how do we navigate our way out of stuckness in order to live and lead a life with more impact and greater fulfilment?

In last week’s interview (#067) I talked to Chief Executive of Manufacturing Wales, and Business News Wales, Heather Anstey-Myers. During our conversation she shared her personal story of navigating a challenging childhood, and how a throwaway phrase from Thelma & Louise significantly impacted the beliefs and values that were to drive the next 30 years as her leadership career unfolded.

Looking back on our conversation, I begin by considering what it really means to compromise living our best lives, by settling for less than we deserve. I then look at the importance of values-based leadership if we are to find fulfilment in our mission.

If you’re looking to create more personal impact and experience a deeper level of fulfilment in your mission, this week’s Insights episode is for you.
