Breaking Barriers & Building Workplaces Where Women Thrive
In this powerful episode, gender equity specialist Samantha Sutherland explores the deep‑rooted structural barriers that shape women’s experiences at work and at home. Drawing on years of consulting with major organisations, Samantha explains why women often blame themselves for struggling — assuming they just need to be “more organised, more confident, more everything” — when the real issue is systemic. She highlights how gender pay gaps, biased policies, rigid work structures, and cultural expectations around caregiving all intersect to limit women’s ambition and wellbeing. Samantha also shares her personal journey into diversity consulting, her transition from corporate leadership roles, and how hosting the Women at Work podcast has deepened her understanding of what women truly need: respect, flexibility, development pathways, supportive partners, and workplaces designed for real lives. With practical reflections on ambition, guilt, co‑parenting, and mindset, this episode offers clarity and reassurance for any woman navigating the messy, overlapping worlds of career and caregiving.

Gerri opens up about her own rocky journey through IVF, newborn sleep deprivation, and the societal expectations that convince parents they “just have to cope.” She busts some of the biggest sleep myths, explains why “gentle vs. not gentle” sleep training is a false debate, and shares how evidence‑based sleep support can transform family life.
If you’re a parent craving better sleep, less guilt, and more confidence in your instincts — this episode is for you.

[…] And finally, we've provided value for councils. So councils at the moment have to do a number of compliance related activities with mobile vendors, especially when you think about food trucks and the environmental health aspect. So we've brought a whole bunch of governance and compliance processes into our platform. All things like public liability documents, council registration, all of that is stored on our platform, meaning that councils can refer back to this and see who's operating in their local area and making sure that they have all the right permits and all the right checks and balances.
