Equality isn’t just about intention - it’s about outcomes. 🤝

Women of the Future Podcast – Motherhood Mini-Series

In 2018, Kim was made redundant from her role at The Telegraph—just a day after winning a Award. 😮 In the whirlwind that followed, she reached out to us to see if she could use her podcasting skills for something meaningful, and that’s how this journey started.

Fast forward to today, after interviewing 100 incredible alumni over nearly 7 years, Kim is the one being interviewed by Rhona Hunt for our special Motherhood mini-series.
