I'm joined by Mikaela Jackson for this conversation about women's leadership, meaningful ambition, and creating a bigger impact in the world.

Mikaela Jackson is a leadership strategist, executive coach, speaker, and author of You Are Meant For Something Bigger. For more than a decade, she has worked at the intersection of women's leadership, ambition, human potential, and meaningful impact, helping women take ownership of their growth, influence, and impact by becoming more of who they already are.

Through speaking, leadership development programs, coaching, and thought leadership, Mikaela explores some of the most important questions facing modern women today: How do we define success on our own terms? What does meaningful ambition look like? How do we continue to grow, lead, and contribute in a rapidly changing world? And how do we create lives and careers that are both successful and sustainable?

Her work is grounded in the belief that personal growth and societal impact are deeply connected. When women have the confidence to claim their power, the opportunity to realize their potential, and the courage to lead with purpose, the impact extends far beyond the individual, influencing organizations, communities, and society as a whole.

In this conversation, Mikaela shares her insights on leadership, personal growth, purpose-driven success, and the importance of creating environments where women can thrive and contribute at their highest level.

Because when women thrive, everyone benefits — our families, workplaces, communities, and the world.

🎙️ EPISODE TITLE: From Big Brother Winner to Mental Health Warrior — Anthony Hutton on Never Throwing in the Towel

Anthony Hutton became a household name when he won Big Brother — but what happened next is the story nobody talks about.

In this raw, honest and deeply moving episode, Anthony opens up about the identity crisis that followed fame, the rock-bottom moments he never expected to face, and the extraordinary journey that led him to dedicate his life to mental health and suicide prevention.

Anthony is the founder of the Never Throw In the Towel Project — an initiative that is making waves across the UK through community meetups, corporate partnerships, barbershop safe spaces, keynote speaking, and a one-of-a-kind approach to opening up conversations that can literally save lives.

What we get into in this episode:

The moment at his grandmother's funeral that lit a fire inside him and sparked an entire movement

Why the barber's chair might be one of the most powerful mental health spaces in the world — and the science behind why it works

What happened to Anthony's identity after Big Brother ended, and the unexpected way he found his way back

The dangerous combination nobody is talking about — and why having this knowledge could genuinely save a life

The fundamentals of mental health that most people in crisis are missing — and how to start without overhauling your whole life

Why he stalked L'Oreal for 833 days (yes, really)

The law of polarity and why your darkest chapter might be closer to the turning point than you think

This is not an episode you'll forget in a hurry.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you're not alone — and this conversation is a reminder that one story, told at the right moment, can change everything.

Call 988 for support in a crisis.
