53. Redefining Power: Inner Work, Systemic Change, and Leading on Your Own Terms (with Jen Murtagh)

“A hundred percent of our intuition is fully developed. But our ability to trust it isn't.” - Jen MurtaghWhat happens when success on paper feels suffocating in real life? In this episode, Jen Murtagh peels back the layers of ambition, identity, and survival mode to name the invisible internal limits we carry - and the systems that quietly reinforce them. She shares how her lived experience as a mother, executive, and heart disease survivor fuelled not just personal transformation but tangible systemic change for women in the workplace.We explore the internal narratives high achievers often don’t question. The pressure to perform, the quiet cost of hyper-independence, and the ongoing journey of trusting your own inner wisdom - even when it challenges everything you’ve built.
