Welcome to Women Don’t Rush, hosted by Leadership Mentor & Speaker Maria Rush.
This podcast is for women who are successful and intentional about the lives they’re building and it's a space where I explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out. Not by doing more, pushing harder, or chasing the next milestone but by refining self-awareness, strengthening inner leadership, and aligning ambition with calm and clarity.
Each episode offers thoughtful conversations and reflections designed for women who value depth, discernment, and sustainable success. This is for women who understand that real mastery isn’t just about performance and achievements - it’s about how success is experienced internally on a daily basis.
This is a space to slow down, enhance your awareness, and have to courage to lead yourself with greater ease and fulfilment.
This is Women don’t Rush.

Episode Summary:
In this episode, I’m joined by sustainability and AI strategist Madalina Buzdugan for a thoughtful and grounding conversation on how we, as women, can navigate the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence without feeling overwhelmed.
With constant updates and an endless stream of information, it’s easy to feel as though we’re always playing catch-up. We explore how to approach AI in a more sustainable way, including the role of the 80/20 principle by focusing on what we’re currently able to do, both individually and within organisations, to create meaningful impact that is good enough.
We also reflect on the broader implications of AI in female-present work sectors, shifting workloads and the impact on cognitive wellbeing. We also explore what it means to stay informed, while also protecting our energy and how we can support the younger generations to make informed decisions and help them enter the workforce on their terms.
