Cathleen O’Sullivan is inviting leaders to rethink how they lead in her series of The Legendary Leaders Podcast.
With over 15 years working inside high-stakes global organisations, Cathleen uses the podcast to have conversations with female leaders who have challenged the status quo.
“This isn’t about climbing ladders or ticking boxes anymore,” she says. “We’ve played the game, and it burned us out. This podcast is for those who want to lead with integrity, compassion, and clarity—without losing themselves in the process.”
After years of working sixteen-hour days and waking at 4am to prove herself, Cathleen hit burnout. Told to take time off, she turned that into a permanent change, redefining her leadership approach and building a business to help other women do the same.
The Legendary Leaders Podcast hears from senior leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who have led differently and share how it changed their lives.
“This podcast is a rebellion against outdated models of leadership and a rallying call for those ready to lead on their own terms,” Cathleen says.
Listeners will hear stories of transformation, leadership beyond job titles, and moments of truth that shaped careers and lives.
Cathleen is known for her mix of deep empathy, fierce clarity and real-world business experience, supporting clients at TikTok, Pinterest, PWC and Unilever.
The podcast explores what happens when leaders trade perfectionism for presence, and power for purpose. It aims to create space for leaders to show up as themselves, without performance or posturing.
