Empowered Mindset - Episode 6 - Wendy Gardener

What a guest, what an episode! On Episode 6 I'm joined by the immeasurable Wendy Gardner who is the founder of Ohana Foundation, an organisation which combines corporate rigour with disarming warmth, helping leaders and teams move from surviving to thriving.

In this episode we discover how Wendy's experience working at retail giants and tech firms taught her how to navigate boardrooms and break barriers, but it was her daughter's attempt to end her life that transformed her perspective entirely—showing her that not everything needs solving.

Some of the key topics we dive into:

• Why self-love isn't selfish—it's vital for well-being
• The importance of compassionate leadership and authenticity
• The masks we wear that hide our true selves, leading to exhaustion and disconnection - it’s time to take the masks off!
• The struggle to (and importance of!) embracing self-belief
• The urgent need for supportive communities that foster connection and open dialogue

 

Enjoy!
