Women on Top - Donna Ashworth

This special live episode was recorded at The Balmoral Hotel, where Kylie was joined on stage by poet and author Donna Ashworth for a powerful and deeply moving conversation as part of our Women on Top Scotland tour.Donna – whose words have resonated with millions across the world – brought her signature honesty, warmth and reflection to a room of 200 women on International Women’s Day. This episode captures a moment that felt both intimate and expansive, as women came together to reconnect, reflect and feel something real.Together, Kylie and Donna explore identity, resilience and the quiet parts of ourselves that often get lost along the way. At the heart of the conversation is Donna’s reminder of the “little firecracker” within us – the bold, instinctive version of ourselves that still exists, waiting to be heard again. Donna shares how to:Reconnect with the version of you that once said yes without hesitationMove forward while honouring everything you’ve been throughNavigate grief with honesty, openness and supportStop waiting for the “right time” and take the chance anywayEmbrace midlife as a powerful new chapter, not a limitationShow up for yourself and others with more intention and careThere’s emotion, reflection and that unmistakable egg energy throughout. From moments of stillness to laughter and connection, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that it’s never too late to come back to yourself. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected or ready for your next chapter, this conversation will stay with you long after you listen.
