This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership doesn’t start when someone gives you permission - it starts the moment you decide to stop hiding.I sit down with Amy McLean - founder of Te Kainga Wāhine - an Indigenous-led initiative that uplifts wāhine (women) through culturally grounded business and leadership development.Amy’s journey has taken her from the quiet corners of accounting and corporate roles… to the front of the room, where she now leads with aroha, commitment, and a deep sense of purpose.This episode is for you if: ✅ You’ve been stuck in the background, supporting others but hiding your own power ✅ You’re ready to lead not just for yourself, but for the next generation ✅ You’ve felt the tension between who you “should” be and who you really are ✅ You’re ready to stop talking and start movingWe explore: 🌿 Reindigenising leadership and returning to collective power 🌿 The cost of staying silent and why courage is a requirement, not a bonus 🌿 What burnout reveals about misalignment 🌿 Why wāhine need spaces created by wāhine, for wāhine 🌿 Letting go of roles, brands, and expectations that no longer fit 🌿 The moment Amy stepped into the front of the room and never looked back 🌿 Why your mission must matter more than your fearAmy’s story is raw, reflective, and resolute. A kōrero for the wāhine who know they’re here for more and are ready to lead in a way that actually feels like them.Your time is now. Show up.
