About Northern Power Women

We were delighted  to be commissioned to create a podcast for the awesome Northern Power Women. And for nearly two years we produced an hour long magazine stye show each month, bringing you a  no holds barred discussion on the biggest issues that affect our careers and lives – recorded in front of a live audience every single month. There were also in-depth interviews and an advice style section called Ask The Hive.

When Covid-19 hit in March 2020, we pivoted to become a weekly podcast, full of news, updates, discussion and your Life Lessons.

The Latest Episode of
Northern Power Women

In this episode of the We Are PoWEr Podcast, we sit down with Dr Penny Trayner, a neuropsychologist who has discovered a fascinating connection between DJing and brain recovery.

Penny shares how her work in neuropsychology led her to explore the impact of music on rehabilitation and why she believes that the only real barrier is what we tell ourselves. She also reflects on her childhood in Abu Dhabi, how her parents’ careers and support shaped her, and the drive to help people that guides her work today.

Beyond her groundbreaking research, Penny has also taken to the decks, DJing at the Northern PoWEr Women Awards—Europe’s largest celebration of gender equality—for two years in a row. She also discusses the significance of receiving a purple plaque in recognition of her award-winning innovation.

If you’re looking for inspiration, proof that music can heal, or a reminder that you can achieve anything, this episode is not to be missed.
