Former professional footballers Mollie and Rosie Kmita and now founders of The Powerhouse Project join me for one of the most authentic leadership stories we’ve had on the podcast.This episode is packed with real leadership stories you rarely hear: the setbacks, the identity shifts, the emotional toll, and the courage it takes to keep showing up when things don’t go your way.Mollie and Rosie openly share:What it took to succeed in a male dominated worldHow to lead through failure after two businesses didn’t work outHow they learnt to slow down without losing ambitionHow they have evolved their identity from footballers to business ownersThe impact people-pleasing had on their leadership decisionsHow they have had to learn to lean into conflictMollie and Rosie show what success after repeated failure actually looks like - the mindset resets, and the quiet self-belief you need to keep going.​​These are everyday leadership stories delivered with humour, honesty and heart, the kind that remind you anything is possible when you focus, put the work in, and back yourself.We Cover: 00:00 – Introduction01:12 – Growing up in boys’ football and learning to belong05:04 – Why young women in sport need better pathways09:31 – Finding confidence in environments not built for you14:42 – How childhood trauma shapes your drive20:50 – Coping with loss while still showing up26:19 – When resilience turns into survival mode33:08 – The guilt behind always saying yes38:12 – “We haven’t sat still for 16 years”46:54 – Rebuilding identity beyond football52:33 – Learning to slow down without losing ambition58:48 – What leaders can do to create real change01:00:31 – A message for leaders and organisations that want to make real changeDon’t miss out on this powerful episode. 👍 Stay inspired by joining our YouTube community!
