The Empower Breakfast Podcast with Sue Higgs Is Out

The latest episode of The emPOWER Podcast is here, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!

Host Athene Parker sits down with the brilliant Sue Higgs, an award-winning executive creative director with over 25 years in advertising, to talk about resilience, reinvention, and the realities of navigating the industry.

Sue’s career has been filled with highs, but she’s also faced immense challenges, including extreme workplace bullying. Long before the #MeToo movement gave women the language to articulate coercive behavior, Sue was living it. But rather than allowing that chapter to define her, she turned her experience into something powerful by writing candidly about it in industry publications and sparking conversations that revealed the extent of bullying across the industry, for both men and women.

This episode is a vibrant, insightful, and uplifting listen - one that celebrates not just Sue’s courage, but her joy, wit, and determination to make the industry better for the next generation.
