Raised Ready: The Hidden Cost of Being the Girl Everyone Could Count On
<p>I was hosting a leadership conference. Senior women. CEOs, founders, executives. Ruth Limkin asked one question -"How many of you are the eldest child?" - and 85% of the room put their hands up.</p><p></p><p>That's not a quirky data point. That's a pattern worth pulling apart.</p><p></p><p>This episode is about the conditioning that shapes high-achieving women long before they ever step into a boardroom. The identity that gets built around reliability. And the specific ways that wiring — combined with the demands of career, family, and everything in between — becomes a very direct route to running on empty.</p><p></p><p>I get into the signs (including the ones that hide behind achievement), the systems that exploited those traits, and practical steps that don't involve vague advice about self-care.</p><p></p><ul><li>The Banyans Healthcare: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thebanyans.com.au" target="_blank">thebanyans.com.au</a></li><li>Ruth Limkin / The Banyans research on professional burnout and alcohol use trends</li><li>Research on birth order and leadership (eldest child studies)</li><li>Research: 90% of female CEOs played competitive sport</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Connect with Yas London:</b> </p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://yasminlondon.com" target="_blank">yasminlondon.com</a> </p><p>Instagram: @<i>yaslondon</i> </p><p>LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmin-london/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmin-london/</a></p>

Abuse With a Glow Up: How Everyday Technology Has Become the New Weapon of Control
<p>⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains references to domestic abuse, coercive control, and family violence.</p><p><br /></p><p>What if the most dangerous weapon in a domestic abuser's hands isn't a fist — but your bank account?</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode, Yas London sits down with Catherine Fitzpatrick, CEO of Flequity Ventures and Australia's leading expert on financial abuse and technology-facilitated domestic violence. Catherine spent nearly a decade as a senior bank executive before uncovering a disturbing pattern: everyday products — bank accounts, insurance policies, smart devices, utility bills — being weaponised as tools of coercive control.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this conversation, you'll learn:</p><p>— How bank transfer descriptions are being used as weapons of harassment and surveillance</p><p>— Why 51% of Australians will experience technology-facilitated abuse in their lifetime</p><p>— What Safety By Design means — and why most companies still aren't doing it</p><p>— How AI is both the problem and the solution in financial abuse detection</p><p>— What you can do right now, whether you're a business leader or an individual</p><p><br /></p><p>If something feels off in your relationship with money or technology, this episode will give you language, clarity, and a clear next step.</p><p><br />Catherine Fitzpatrick | Flequity Ventures: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://flequity.au" target="_blank">https://flequity.au</a></p><p>Learn about Design to Disrupt: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://designedtodisrupt.au" target="_blank">https://designedtodisrupt.au</a></p><p>Respect & Protect Campaign (check if your company has signed up): <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://respectandprotect.au/" target="_blank">https://respectandprotect.au/</a></p><p>1800RESPECT (National domestic violence support line): 1800 737 732 | <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.1800respect.org.au" target="_blank">www.1800respect.org.au</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Yas London:</p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://yasminlondon.com" target="_blank">yasminlondon.com</a></p><p>Instagram: @_yaslondon_</p><p>LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linkedin.com/in/yasminlondon" target="_blank">linkedin.com/in/yasminlondon</a></p><p><br /></p><p>"What we make visible shapes what others believe is possible."</p>

The Price of Being Visible Online
<p>What do online abuse, the boardroom, and elite sport have in common — when it comes to women?</p><p><br /></p><p>The same system, playing out in different venues. And in this episode I'm making the case for exactly what that system is, what it costs, and why the organisations that say they want more women at the top are often the last ones to see it happening on their watch.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pipeline isn't broken.
