  • Summary

  • Do you ever reflect on what your unique gifts and talents are?


    It's rare as women to take a moment to think of ourselves in this way. But what would happen if we made an effort to dig into what our gifts are, and how we could get more enjoyment, growth and fulfilment from them in our everyday life?


    This is Top Mast - The podcast for women in the middle of their personal and professional journey; who value continuous learning and growth; and who want to dedicate time to understand themselves better.


    This is a space for us to collectively dive deep and witness our true talents, to feel seen by a community of women on a similar journey, and to celebrate and understand our gifts no matter where we are in life.


    My name is Bec Newman. I’m a Creative Director living and working in London. In each episode of Top Mast, I’ll be in conversation with different people who identify as women about what they believe to be their greatest gifts in life. We’ll unpack how each woman discovered these gifts, how she nurtures them, and how they manifest in her professional and personal lives.


    The women I speak to are so generous with sharing their journeys, and all of them are uncovering some brilliant insights, no matter how old they are, where they come from, where they work, or where their passions lie.


    I hope that in listening to these in-depth and open conversations with these women, you reflect on what your own gifts are. Because I believe that once we acknowledge and nurture our unique gifts, we can find an ongoing sense of fulfilment, wonder, and purpose in our lives.

  • Samantha Connaughton: Balance

    Samantha Connaughton: Balance
    Aug 11 2023

    Today’s guest is Samantha Connaughton, who works in the music industry, and who I knew would be a dear friend as soon as we met a few years ago. To borrow her own turn of phrase, she is simply a good egg, and has a knack for making everyone around her feel supported and safe.


    In our conversation we discuss her gift of maintaining balance in all aspects of life, expanding empathy through your lived experience, and authentically expressing your sense of self.

  • Danika Gregg: Eternal optimism

    Danika Gregg: Eternal optimism
    Aug 4 2023

    My guest today is Danika Gregg, who I met at high school and reconnected with now that we both live in the UK. Danika is Global Social Impact Communications Director at Dentsu and also has founded her own agency, The Comms Crew.


    I love catching up with Danika because we always skip the small talk and jump straight into the deep stuff, and it’s always hard not to keep talking for hours on end, so it was such a treat to record this conversation for the podcast. We discuss her gift for making space for people to be their authentic selves, inheriting her eternal optimism from her parents, and where her unwavering self belief comes from.

  • Erin Boylan Allen: Determination

    Erin Boylan Allen: Determination
    Jul 28 2023

    My guest for this episode is my friend Erin Boylan Allen. Erin works in television as a production manager, and also has her own small business named Ziggy Pop Shop where she beautifully crafts handmade earrings inspired by the music and fashion of the 60s and 70s.


    In our conversation, we discuss how this love of music has played a significant role in all aspects of her life. We also discuss the determination that drives her, whilst making sure to always think about the bigger picture to allow joy to flow.


    Both determination and warmth exist at the same time within Erin, and when you’re around her you really feel inspired by both energies, so I hope you come away from this conversation as inspired as I was!
