What if the reason you handle change so well… is because you’ve lived it your whole life?

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, Julie Tague sits down with Erica Hodgson – Change Director, creative thinker and global citizen – whose life has been shaped by movement, disruption and reinvention.

Born into a military family in the US, raised in Israel during times of war, living independently as a teenager, and eventually building a life and career in London – Erica’s story is one of identity in motion.

Together, we explore:

• How to flow with change instead of resisting it• Why discomfort is often a growth signal• What it means to belong everywhere – and nowhere• And her powerful metaphor of the snake and the eagle

This episode is for female leaders, founders and anyone navigating transition – personal or professional.

Because unstoppable isn’t about never falling.

It’s about getting back up – wiser, stronger and ready for what’s next.

When voluntary redundancy landed on her desk after almost 16 years in the rail industry, Emma Somers made a decision most people spend years circling.

She chose to leave.

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, Emma shares what it really takes to walk away from long service, rebuild your identity, and start again as a founder.

We talk about:

– Losing a sponsor and feeling suddenly exposed– Leading your team through redundancy while navigating your own– Imposter syndrome and self-doubt– Reinventing your career from the inside out– Designing work that is energetically aligned, not just impressive on paper

Emma now runs her own consultancy, working with leadership teams to strengthen trust, connection and performance.

This conversation is for any woman facing a crossroads - redundancy, restructuring, burnout or the quiet realisation that security no longer fits.

Unstoppable doesn’t mean fearless.

It means choosing yourself anyway.

What does it take to stand your ground when staying silent would be easier?

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, Julie Tague is joined by Rachael Chadwick-Harrison, CEO and Managing Director of Chadwick Accountants, for an honest conversation about leadership, ethics and choosing values over comfort.

Rachael shares her journey of leaving home young, becoming a mother early, and building a career in male-dominated and often toxic environments. She speaks candidly about discrimination, the cost of speaking up, and the defining moments that led her to build a business rooted in fairness, integrity and people-first leadership.

Together, Julie and Rachael explore:

• What it really means to stand your ground at work
• Why ethical leadership matters more than titles
• How women navigate sexism without losing themselves
• The difference between traditional success and values-led leadership
• What legacy looks like when you lift others as you rise

This episode is for founders, leaders, and professionals who know that fitting in isn’t the same as belonging – and who are ready to lead in a way that actually feels right.

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, I’m joined by Yvonne Harrison, CEO of Women in Football, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about sport, leadership, and navigating a full life as a woman, Mum, wife and successful female in the world of women's football.

Yvonne shares how sport has been a constant anchor throughout her life – not as elite performance, but as a way to regulate, reset and reconnect when life feels demanding.

We talk about:

• The reality of women’s sport today – progress alongside fragility

• Leading in environments that still aren’t built with women in mind

• Juggling ambition, family life, and personal wellbeing

• Why movement matters when pressure is high

• Self-belief, quiet confidence and staying in the game

Yvonne’s mantra captures the heart of this episode:

I canI willWatch me

This conversation will resonate with anyone balancing leadership, career, family and the desire to keep moving forward on their own terms.

In this episode of Unstoppable Women, Julie Tague is joined by Jess Harman for a powerful conversation about what really happens after life-changing events.

Jess shares her experience of post-traumatic growth and why the language of “reinvention” never quite fit. Instead, she explores the idea adjusting how you live, lead and choose what matters, without losing who you are.

This is an honest, grounded discussion about resilience, boundaries, identity and finding meaning after challenge. No platitudes. No performative strength. Just real insight into how women move forward when life doesn’t go to plan.

If you’re at a turning point, questioning what’s next, or quietly recalibrating your own path – this episode is for you.

We open Season 2 of Unstoppable Women with Sharon Parmar – Chief Heart Officer and CEO of Humanity Works.

In this deeply honest conversation, Sharon shares her personal journey through trauma, burnout and identity shift, and how it reshaped her understanding of leadership, resilience and success. From corporate ambition to heart-led leadership, she explores what it really means to recalibrate rather than reinvent – and why human connection is not a “soft” skill, but a critical one.

Together, we unpack:

• Why resilience is built through people, not pressure

• How identity shifts can feel unsettling – and why they’re necessary

• The difference between pushing through and recalibrating

• The character traits Sharon believes define truly unstoppable women

This episode also marks the beginning of Season 2’s deeper focus, building on insights from Series 1 and feeding directly into the Unstoppable Women book and live research project, created with Sarah Bar Lev – exploring the shared traits, patterns, and stories of women who move through change with courage and clarity.

If you’re navigating change, questioning who you’re becoming, or craving a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone – this conversation is for you.

And if you’re feeling called to share your own story, this season is being shaped in real time. There may be space for you to join the conversation – just get in touch.

Unstoppable Women is a podcast that celebrates real stories of courage, clarity and reinvention - women who’ve faced turning points and found the power to move forward on their own terms.

In this episode, I sit down with Razane Boustany, a Lebanese project manager whose international career in the justice sector has taken her from Brussels to Rome to Qatar. We talk about what growth really looks like - the messy, human kind that happens when life pushes us to stop, reflect and start again.

This conversation is full of heart, honesty and perspective. Razane reminds us that transformation often starts in the quiet moments when we finally listen to ourselves.

Here’s what we cover:

🌍 How travel and culture shape the way we work and see the world⚖️ Why innovation in justice starts by listening to people, not systems🔥 Her experience of burnout and how she found her way through it💬 The power of language and reframing: turning “lows” into “GLOWTH”💫 The importance of surrounding yourself with the right energy and people

I finished this episode absolutely buzzing. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments often bring the clearest growth - if we’re brave enough to sit in them.

This week, I speak with Jordan Graham, a learning and leadership expert and doctoral researcher at the University of Bath exploring gender diversity in corporate leadership and the talent pipeline of women aspiring to board positions.

Jordan’s journey is one of curiosity, courage and quiet confidence - from falling into leadership development “by accident” to shaping global conversations on how women rise.

Together, we talk about:
💡 The power of serendipity in shaping careers
🔥 How to “put doubt in a box” and act before you feel ready
🌍 What Jordan’s research is uncovering about women’s pathways to leadership
🤝 The importance of mentors, networks and allyship
❤️ The guilt many women carry and how to turn it into growth

It’s a smart, inspiring and deeply human conversation about what it really means to be unstoppable - one bold, curious step at a time.
