Three weeks before I lost my partner Simon, my friend Fiona lost her partner, Evo. In this deeply personal conversation, we share what those early days of grief really looked like — the shock, the survival mode, and the weight of continuing for our families. Fiona opens up about how she found the strength to lead, parent and keep moving forward, even when her world had stopped.

The Courage to Continue is a podcast exploring the human stories behind resilience, perspective, and purposeful leadership.

Hosted by Nina Sutton, the show features honest conversations with people who have been shaped by adversity — not defined by it. These are leaders, founders, creatives, and change-makers who open up about the moments behind the titles: the uncertainty, the pressure, the missteps, and the quiet decisions that changed how they lead.

This podcast isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about navigating life and leadership in real time — leading through change, staying grounded under pressure, and continuing forward when confidence wobbles or clarity feels just out of reach.

This podcast is for you if…


You’re a leader who doesn’t relate to “perfect” leadership narratives


You want real conversations, not rehearsed advice


You’re carrying responsibility and want perspective, not platitudes


You’re curious about what actually builds resilience and trust


You value growth, self-awareness, and leading with integrity

Follow & subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & YouTube.
