Note sull'episodio

Can you be fully present as a mother without losing the woman you were always meant to become?

In this episode of Her Executive Diary, Ruth Kudzai sits down with leadership development consultant, founder of The Influential Woman and mother of two, Rodna Ntabeni, for an honest conversation about motherhood, ambition, identity and purpose.

Rodna reflects on the identity shifts that come with becoming a mother, the invisible mental load many women carry, and why success isn't about doing everything at once—it's about recognising the season you're in and giving yourself permission to grow through it.

Together, they explore how to navigate career, marriage, purpose and family without feeling like you have to choose one version of yourself over another.

In this episode:

  • Motherhood and identity
  • Ambition without guilt
  • Marriage and partnership
  • Leadership and confidence
  • The mental load women carry
  • Building purpose alongside family
  • Creating The Influential Woman
  • Why every season has its purpose

If you've ever felt stretched between your career, family, purpose and personal growth, this conversation will remind you that you don't have to become less of yourself to become more for others.
