What do you do when you want to excel in your career but guilt and burnout set in because your young children need you

Most women hold back.
Louise Wong chose clarity.

As a mother of three and a leader in the clinical sciences, Louise reached a breaking point. She was travelling often, carrying rising responsibilities, facing tension at home, and quietly wondering if she was failing both at work and as a mother.

When guilt whispered “slow down,” she chose to rise.
When self doubt tried to keep her small, she leaned into purpose, courage and her strengths.

In this heartfelt conversation with Ruth Saw, Louise shares how shifting her focus from weaknesses to strengths accelerated her career, rebuilt her confidence, and brought new harmony into her home. She also opens up about how this shift transformed the way she parents her children, including her son with vision impairment who went on to thrive beyond expectations.

Her story is a reminder that women do not grow by shrinking. They grow when they honour their strengths and step into who they truly are, not just for themselves but to model courage for the next generation.

💡 In this episode, you will learn:
• How shifting from fixing weaknesses to living your strengths accelerates growth
• Practical ways working mothers can pursue ambition without losing themselves
• Why managing energy rather than time creates sustainable clarity and momentum
• How courageous conversations can strengthen support at home
• How to move through guilt, imposter syndrome and the fear of stepping out

Because when women rise with clarity, everyone around them rises too.

And for the men listening, this episode offers fresh insight into what female leaders experience and how you can better support your colleagues, daughters and wives to rise with strength and confidence.

✨ Listen now and ask yourself:
What part of your life is waiting for you to move out of guilt and into growth?
