Episode Why I Refuse To Fit In Or F**k Off As The Only Woman In The Room

0:00 29:16

For years, Helen Masters worked in environments where she was the only woman in the room.

From the high-pressure world of corporate sales to professional football, she found herself surrounded by cultures built on power, performance and fitting in. But while others played the game, Helen refused to compromise who she was.

This is a conversation about resilience, loyalty, identity and the courage to stand your ground when the easier option would be to stay quiet.

Because sometimes the hardest thing you can do is refuse to become someone else.

In this episode:

• The "fit in or f**k off" culture of male-dominated industries • The reality of working behind the scenes in professional football • Raising children as a single mum while building a successful career • Why Helen walked away from alcohol after years of living life at full speed • The importance of staying true to your values, even when it comes at a cost
