In this episode of The Founder Tapes, I sit down with Fiona Sanford, CEO of The Flourish Journey, an Australian charity dedicated to enhancing the well-being of teenage girls. With a background as an award-winning gymnast and a passion for mental health, Fiona shares her journey from sports to social impact, and how she's helping young women build resilience, self-awareness, and confidence.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Fiona's transition from competitive gymnastics to mental health advocacy
- The mission and impact of The Flourish Journey's programs across Australia
- Challenges faced in scaling a purpose-driven organisation
- The importance of rites of passage in teenage development
- Insights on fostering self-esteem and combating societal pressures among young girls
Fiona's dedication has led to the transformation of over 25,000 lives, earning her recognition as a finalist in the 2024 Women’s Agenda Leadership Awards.
