She Leads Because She Can is a education podcast hosted by Sue Aspinall and Caz Jude. It has 29 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

We believe that there is a need to provide support for female school leaders, who want to thrive and grow within international school settings. In this series of fortnightly podcasts, we share our own lived experiences and the hard-hitting realities which have shaped us as successful leaders within the sector. Each podcast forms a topical conversation which is experienced-based; sharing truths, sound council and suggested solutions.We aim to be a source of courage, confidence and practical solutions to keep others ' leading because they can'.
