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
