Series 2 Episode 1 Summary:

For this episode, Athene Parker talks to emPOWER’s first guest speaker of 2025, the INCREDIBLE Sally Miller, in a moving and profoundly human conversation.

Today, Sally celebrates her 50th birthday, offering a moment to reflect on a life and career marked by strength, humour and compassion. She speaks candidly about caring for her mother, who is living with advanced dementia, sharing the daily realities of family caregiving that so many face but few discuss openly.

Sally also takes us through some of the most defining and challenging moments of her life while building a remarkable career in advertising and media. From navigating grief and loss to finding resilience and joy, her story shows the power of vulnerability, empathy and connection in leadership and beyond.

The chat is woven around a trip down a musical memory lane. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
