All Girls Roar
Welcome to the podcast where we shine a light on women who are breaking boundaries and blazing new trails
Each episode, I sit down with incredible changemakers to hear their stories, the highs, the lows, the grit, and the moments that shaped them. Get ready to be inspired by how they’ve carved their own paths and turned ambition into action.
Episode One: Leena Gade
We kick things off with the phenomenal Leena Gade, Multimatic’s Vehicle Dynamics Centre Manager and legendary Race Engineer. She made history in 2011 as the first female race engineer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, leading Audi to victory—not once, but three times.
In this episode, Leena opens up about her journey through motorsport, how she’s handled pressure and setbacks, why resilience matters, and how engineering has the power to drive real change. She’s sharp, honest, and totally inspiring. Be clear, be confident, and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it will continue to evolve, and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
Episode Two: Lucy Shepherd
From mountain peaks to dense rainforests, Lucy Shepherd is redefining what it means to be an adventurer in the modern world. She's a mountaineer, Arctic explorer, and jungle survivor, fearless, curious, and full of insight.
In this episode, Lucy takes us on a journey through her extraordinary career. We talk about what drives her, how she handles fear, and the lessons she’s learned from pushing herself to the edge-literally. She shares stories of near-death moments, what bravery really looks like, and offers up some brilliant advice for anyone craving more adventure in their life (without having to trek through the Amazon!).
Episode Three: Abigail Harrison
Aspiring astronaut Abigail Harrison also known as Astronaut Abby, is on a mission literally to make it to Mars. She has spent over a decade working towards this goal and, along the way, inspiring young people interested in space and STEM.
She has received numerous awards and accolades for her work and dedication, including recognition as one of Forbes’ 2019 30 Under 30. She has now also turned her talents to writing a book called Dream Big! How To Reach For Your Stars" to help as many young people as possible start reaching for their own stars.
She has also founded a non-profit organisation, The Mars Generation, inspiring millions around the world about the importance of STEM and space.
In our conversation, Abby talks about her passions and dreams and also touches on some of the challenges she has faced and how she has dealt with them. She is passionate about helping young people to explore careers in the space industry and talks about why representation is so important to her.
Episode Four: Amazin Lethi
Meet Amazin Lethi, a powerhouse in every way. She’s a former competitive bodybuilder, a global LGBTQ+ and human rights advocate, and a fierce voice for representation in sport and beyond.
In this deeply honest conversation, Amazin opens up about growing up as a transracial adoptee in a white household that rarely acknowledged her Vietnamese heritage. She shares how she faced racism from a young age and how the discipline and mindset of an athlete helped her overcome periods of homelessness and profound challenge.
We talk about why LGBTQ+ and Asian representation matters at every level, from grassroots to boardrooms and how sport became both her lifeline and platform for change.
It’s a raw, powerful, and incredibly inspiring episode with someone who’s breaking barriers and rewriting the rules of visibility.
Episode Five: Heather Waugh
Why are there still so few women in the rail industry? As Scotland's only female freight train driver, Heather Waugh opens up about the opportunities for women in the rail industry and how there's a place for everyone in the industry.
Heather drove passenger trains for 15 years before switching to freight trains and talks about unconsciously trying not to bring attention to herself as a way of conforming in the industry and the journey she has been on to use her voice more to encourage women to think about careers in the industry.
Heather unravels some of the myths around careers in rail and explains why diverse workplaces can only benefit everyone.
Episode Six: Ruth Mwandumba
What does a British rifle shooter look like? I bet the image you have in your head is nothing like shooting star Ruth Mwandumba and that's why All Girls Roar were thrilled to have her on the show.
Ruth is breaking barriers as one of the very few black athletes in competitive shooting. She became the first black person to represent her country and hopes to inspire others to take up the sport.
In our conversation, Ruth talks about how she was first introduced to the sport and why she loves it so much. She also touches on some of the challenges she has faced with negative stereotyping and a lack of diversity in the sport. She also talks about her role models and how she feels about being a role model.
Ruth hopes to increase diversity within shooting sports across the UK and has been working alongside British Shooting to make this a reality.
Whilst training, Ruth is also studying for a PhD in Epidemiology.
Episode Seven : Kaye Lin
Imagine waking up one morning to find your electricity cut, your internet shut down, and the threat of arrest hanging over you—for no reason at all. That was the reality for Kaye Lin, a journalist and communications expert, during her last visit to Myanmar under military rule.
In this powerful episode, Kaye shares her deeply personal connection to the country where she was born. We talk about her childhood in Myanmar, what it felt like to return years later, and how the political landscape had shifted so dramatically.
Kaye paints a rich picture of Myanmar as a vibrant melting pot, full of culture, resilience, and a sense of possibility. Through her eyes, we explore the hope behind what she calls the Myanmar Dream, and why she continues to advocate for its people.
This is a moving, eye-opening conversation about identity, courage, and the power of speaking out.
Episode Eight: Bev Logan
Bev Logan is the founder of The Badass Mother Runners Club, an empowering online community that’s helping women from all walks of life support each other through their running journeys.
What started at her kitchen table during a period of depression has grown into a vibrant, inclusive space known for its honesty, humour, and genuine connection-no judgement, just support.
In this episode, Bev shares what inspired her to create the community, the impact it's had, and why she’s so passionate about giving women a voice in the world of running. The conversation also touches on the powerful #WEWILL campaign, which shines a light on the harassment faced by women runners, and the way girls are taught to manage their safety from a young age, something their male peers often don’t experience.
Bev is open, funny, and refreshingly real, this episode is both thought-provoking and uplifting.
Episode Nine: Khyati Mody
No good ever came from bunking off school was something I heard growing up all the time. However that wasn't the case for Khyati Mody. In fact it was bunking off school that led her to discovering a new passion and skills in driving.
As a child racing was always something Khyati loved, that and Michael Schumacher and his red Ferrari and it is here her love affair with driving began.
It was bunking off school to go karting that led to a chance encounter with India's multiple national champion Rayomand Banajee. He spotted her potential and took her under his wing to coach her. From karting, she progressed to formula racing, autocross, and cross country and rally.
At 22 Khyati Mody, decided to press the accelerator and live her dreams of making a professional career in rally driving.
In our conversation Khyati talks about some of the reactions she has faced from male drivers, including one who refused to take his podium place after she beat him.
She also talks about her plans to race in Europe and how she wants to use her platform to encourage more women to take up the sport.
