Welcome to Lipstick, Laughter & Leadership — a leadership podcast for women who want to lead well, live fully and stop pretending everything’s fine when it isn’t.

Lipstick, Laughs & Leadership is the podcast where real women talk real leadership without the corporate BS. Hosted by Emma and Jodie, two experienced executive coaches and leadership development consultants who’ve lived the highs, the mess, and everything in between, this is an honest, down‑to‑earth conversation from the sofa. Expect laughter, straight‑talk, and meaningful discussions about confidence, influence, wellbeing, burnout, ambition, and leading in a world that wasn’t always built for women like us. No jargon, no fluff, just relatable stories, practical insights, and leadership lessons that actually stick.

Hosted by Emma Shepherd and Jodie Salt, two experienced executive and leadership coaches, this is a relaxed, sofa‑style podcast that explores real leadership, real life and real conversations — without the corporate BS.

This podcast is for women in leadership, senior roles, business owners and ambitious professionals who care about success and wellbeing. We talk honestly about what leadership actually feels like behind the scenes — the confidence wobbles, the burnout warning signs, the pressure to perform, and the desire to do things differently.

• Leadership without the corporate mask
• Confidence, credibility and influence at work
• Burnout prevention, recovery and sustainable success
• Feminine energy in a masculine, performance‑driven world
• Boundaries, bravery and bold career decisions
• Navigating senior leadership as a woman
• Wellbeing, balance and leading as a human, not a robot

This is not a polished, performative leadership podcast.

It’s two women on a sofa, a cuppa (or a glass of something fizzy), and conversations most people are thinking but rarely say out loud.

Emma and Jodie bring together decades of experience in leadership development, executive coaching and wellbeing, alongside real lived experience of burnout, career pressure, family life, ambition and recovery. Expect warmth, challenge, laughter and practical insight you can actually use.

Whether you’re:

• A senior leader or executive
• An emerging leader or manager
• A business owner or consultant
• Or simply navigating work, ambition and life with heart

…you’re in the right place.
