Courage is not the absence of fear, it's saying yes when your heart whispers to go for it.

Su Carty’s journey is as unexpected as it is inspiring. From working as a nurse to becoming the first Irish woman elected to the Rugby World Council, Su has lived at the intersection of leadership, healing, and resilience. She helped grow women’s rugby worldwide, stood as a voice for women in leadership, and continues to empower others through her work in performance, wellbeing, and emotional health.

In this conversation, Su opens up about the power of teamwork, the lessons learned from setbacks, the importance of writing things down to free your mind, and why every small success matters. Whether you’re navigating leadership, chronic illness, or the everyday challenges of life, Su’s wisdom will leave you inspired to back yourself and take the next step forward.
