Alana Roper has a really powerful story to share. In April 2017, Alana's darling little boy Ozzie was diagnosed with leukaemia. He was two years of age.

Alana wrote to us via our Facebook page introducing herself as "a different sort of ‘bossy boots".

"I may not be a typical woman in business, however, the true power in an oncology mum is something else."

In this special episode of Miss Bossy Boots, Alana shares her journey from Ozzie's initial diagnosis through to where the family are today.

This is a story of resilience and love. Alana wanted to share her story to be the voice of so many families that are living with childhood cancers or who have lost children to cancer.

She says that while leukaemias are the most common type of cancer diagnosed among Australian children, accounting for around one third (33%) of all cases, this is not a topic that gets a lot of airtime. As a result, childhood cancers don't tend to receive as much funding. If it's out of sight, it's out of mind.

If you would like to help support Alana and her family you can follow her journey on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ozziesheros/

Stacey and Jane love a good chat. Especially when it comes to sharing stories about running their businesses. Stacey is a dance educator and principal of a dance school and Jane is managing director of a marketing agency. Both of them have ambitions as high as the heavens for their consecutive businesses. 

They are motivated, passionate and driven female business leaders who love to share their insight with anyone who will listen. They're also incredibly curious as to how other business leaders run their business. Most of all, they are determined to inspire more women into leadership positions. 

Having both been described as 'bossy' when they were little girls, the 'Miss Bossy Boots' Podcast was inspired by Sheryl Sandberg's famous quote 'I want every little girl who is told she is bossy, to be instead be told she has leadership skills'. 'Miss Bossy Boots' is the perfect avenue to embrace their leadership skills and to interview other inspiring business leaders from a huge range of backgrounds and share their uplifting stories. 

The Miss Bossy Boots podcast will be a fortnightly podcast after a saturated launch period of two weeks and will cover a range of topics to help encourage other women to lean into positions of leadership in their business, in their community and their industry.
