In this episode of She Owns It, host Anissa Cavallo sits down with Australian retail icon Colleen Callander, former CEO of Sportsgirl and Sussan. Colleen shares her remarkable journey—from leaving school early and starting on the retail floor to climbing the ladder to lead two of Australia’s most recognizable fashion brands.
Behind the executive titles and professional success, Colleen opens up about the reality of corporate burnout, hitting an emotional wall, and the pivotal moment that forced her to redefine success. She and Anissa explore why confidence must be actively cultivated, the power of setting firm boundaries, and why kindness and empathy are the ultimate tools for modern leadership. Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, running your own business, or navigating burnout, this conversation will inspire you to lead with confidence and stay true to your values.
