This season, we’re exploring one powerful question:
Who made a difference in your life?
In this heartfelt episode, Ashley sits down with Sarah Hughes, co-organiser of Womanifest, mum of four, and business owner, to explore the impact of one person who changed everything for her.
From self-doubt and feeling stuck… to building a business, stepping into leadership, and helping run a transformational festival for women and teen girls—Sarah shares the story of how one person’s belief helped her begin to believe in herself.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that it’s not always the big moments that shape us…
it’s the people who see us, support us, and stay.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- The one person who made a life-changing difference for Sarah
- How belief from others can unlock confidence within us
- The impact of having someone who doesn’t let you give up on yourself
- Overcoming self-doubt, fear, and feeling “not good enough”
- The ripple effect of growth—how it influences the next generation
- Why you might already be that person for someone else
Key Takeaway
It doesn’t take perfection or having all the answers to change someone’s life.
Sometimes it’s simply:
- Showing up
- Listening
- Holding space
- Believing in someone… before they believe in themselves
