Honest conversations about leadership, growth, courage and the realities women face at work and in life.
Something shifts when women have honest conversations. Not the polished, professional kind – the real ones. The ones where someone says the thing everyone else has been thinking, and half the room exhales because they finally feel seen.
That’s what the Rising Bold Podcast is built on.
Hosted by two of the Future Female Leaders Co-Founders, Claire Seeber and Emma Burdett, each episode picks up where workshops, events and programs leave off. Because leadership development isn’t a moment – it’s an ongoing process of learning, reflection and growth. And the conversations that spark something in a room deserve to keep going long after people have left it.
Podcast Episode Topics
From confidence and self-belief to burnout, boundaries and workplace double standards – Emma and Claire cover the full reality of what it means to grow as a leader. Topics across the series include:
- Confidence and stepping into leadership
- Career growth and ambition
- Workplace culture and double standards
- Mentors, sponsorship and building meaningful networks
- Communication and courageous conversations
- Burnout, boundaries and sustainable careers
- The role of community in leadership journeys
Some episodes are Emma and Claire in conversation with each other, working through topics they’re navigating in their own lives and work. Others feature guests from the Future Female Leaders community and beyond – practitioners, leaders and women with something worth saying.
Every episode is grounded in one shared belief: leadership is never a solo journey.
