This series of The Dangerous Women Collective podcast is sponsored by ESET, providing Next-Gen Digital Security for Home and Business.

In Episode 3, Series 3, Sophy Norris speaks to Rachelle Peterson about her mesmerising resurgence after being made redundant over a year ago.

Rachelle Peterson is a visionary entrepreneur and storyteller, driving innovation and connection through her two ventures, both founded post-redundancy, and both when she was North of 50.

As the Founder of LOQIA Group, she leads a pioneering media consultancy that specialises in strategic growth across the B2B and D2E (Direct to Enterprise)sectors. With her deep expertise, Rachelle empowers media companies to navigate complex markets and crafts tailored content strategies for hospitality and travel brands, captivating international audiences.

In addition, Rachelle is the force behind Rebound & Rise, a female-led networking and events platform designed to uplift women in business. Rebound & Rise creates a safe, empowering space for women rebuilding their confidence after career transitions, whether returning from maternity leave, navigating redundancy, or overcoming networking challenges. Through meaningful connections and collaborative growth, this initiative inspires women to rise stronger together.

Rachelle is not only making her mark with her new ventures, both of which are giving her a renewed sense of purpose, but she is also sharing her post redundancy story through her rapidly growing LinkedIn following and seeringly honest posts, which shine a light on uniquely female issues – from being a working mother, to a road rage attack, launching a new career and the power (and pitfalls) of redundancy.

We cover more in this expansive Episode, including:

• Owning it in our late 50s, recognising our power and knowing our worth
• Finding the power to go it alone, and recognising the pivots and motivators when they are presented to us
• Embrace being 20% terrified, it keeps our arses in gear
• Be prepared, only then will you be able to seize the opportunities ahead of you
• When you realise you can do anything, when you stop caring what others think, you become unstoppable
• Your self-worth is not pegged to what your company thinks of you
• Being unashamedly ambitious
• Surviving a road rage attack, if it feels wrong, don't do it!
