45 Strong is a series of conversations with women from many walks of life about what it means to be strong.
I was born ‘Strong’ – my birth name is Kate Strong – and from an early age I was told to ‘be Strong’, without fully understanding the interpretation of this word.
In these chats, I explore women’s definition of strength and the rewards, as well as pitfalls, of striving for being strong in today’s world.Â
And, why speak with 45 women?
This year (2024), I celebrate my 45th birthday, and what a better way to celebrate than connecting with women who are:
independent, empowered, confident, self-reliant, resilient, bold, assertive, trailblazers, visionary, unapologetic, fierce, inspirational, determined, innovative, courageous, influential, ambitious, strong-willed, tenacious, empathetic, vulnerable.
From Olympic athletes, singers, CEOs, mediums, footballers, LGTBQI+ activists, world record holders, mothers, dancers and many more, I’m sharing their views on the misconceptions, methods and achievements experienced while striving to be strong.
