In the latest episode of The emPOWER Podcast, Athene Parker sits down with Mia Powell for an honest and uplifting conversation about change, creativity and finding your way back to yourself.
In the latest episode of The emPOWER Podcast, Athene Parker sits down with Mia Powell, Head of New Business and Executive Producer at Caviar, for a conversation that is as funny and heartfelt as it is honest.
Mia speaks openly about resilience, creativity and the courage it takes to rebuild yourself through periods of personal and professional change. Together, she and Athene explore what it means to navigate transformation when life doesn’t go to plan, and how those moments can often become the catalyst for something deeper, more meaningful and more aligned.
With warmth and clarity, Mia reflects on the experience of redefining success, reconnecting with joy and learning how to hold ambition alongside vulnerability. It’s a conversation that touches on leadership, identity and creativity, but always through a very human lens.
At the heart of the episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always arrive in the way we expect it to. Sometimes it shows up in the quieter moments. In the pauses. In the rebuilding. In the decision to keep going, even when the route forward looks different from the one we had imagined.
Mia’s reflections will resonate with anyone who has found themselves at a crossroads, whether in work, in life, or somewhere in between. Her perspective is thoughtful, grounded and generous, offering a refreshing take on success that feels both personal and quietly powerful.
As with every emPOWER conversation, the episode creates space for honesty, nuance and connection, the kind of dialogue that helps people feel seen, understood and a little less alone in the challenges they may be carrying.
And, of course, no emPOWER Podcast episode would be complete without a soundtrack. Woven through the conversation is a musical trip down memory lane, adding another personal layer to a chat full of insight, humour and heart.

With thanks to our podcast sponsors String & Tins, and to our brilliant production team for bringing these conversations to life.
