Wrapping up Season 2

Send us Fan Mail

In this Season 2 wrap-up, Nuala and Jane reflect on the themes that emerged across their conversations with six women about power at work.

They explore the tension between needing power to get things done and the discomfort many women feel in naming or claiming it. Instead, power is often reframed as influence, empowerment, or lifting others - language that both softens and reshapes how it’s understood.

The conversation looks at the role of 'scripts' - the messages we inherit from family, culture, and organisations - and how these shape our relationship with power, often outside our awareness. 

They also reflect on power as something fluid rather than fixed, and how approaching it with curiosity can expand what feels possible in any situation.

The episode closes with a reflection on the pattern that emerged across the season: reject dominant ideas of 'power over', reframe what power can be, and reclaim it in ways that feel constructive and real.

Wonder Women: Power Reimagined explores how women experience, express, and redefine power. Join us each week as we unpick old narratives, challenge expectations, and imagine new ways of leading that are grounded, connected, and bold.
