QuestX Episode 4: When Women Lead – Rewriting the Rules of Work, Family & Power

Host: Tania and Yasser  
Special Guest: Sandra Dsouza

Description:
In this powerful and personal episode, we dive deep into the real conversations happening at the intersection of gender, leadership, and societal norms. From CEOs reflecting on how raising daughters changed their perspective, to confronting the harsh choices women still face between family and career — this discussion doesn’t hold back.

Our guest shares her own story of choosing career over motherhood, only to later find a new path with a supportive partner and a daughter with a disability — a journey that reshaped how she leads and advocates for equity. Alongside Tania, the conversation unpacks unconscious bias in leadership, the role of upbringing and culture, and why traditional business environments often unintentionally exclude women.

We tackle tough questions:

• Why are women still underrepresented in boardrooms?

• How can we make networking more inclusive?

• What’s holding men back from taking parental leave?

• And most importantly — when did society start believing that women couldn't lead?

With candor, insight, and a touch of humor, this episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about gender parity, inclusive leadership, and the future of work. Whether you're a woman in business, a father raising sons and daughters, or someone passionate about creating sustainable, balanced change — this conversation will stay with you.

👉 Tune in, reflect, and join us in reimagining what leadership can look like — for everyone.
