Anika Millington

In this episode, we meet Anika Millington — cancer survivor, life coach, and advocate for women in business. Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and empowerment. After her own cancer journey, Anika channelled her experience into helping others navigate life after treatment, becoming a life coach who offers guidance, support, and hope to survivors facing new challenges.

Through ConnectHer, she provides tools, mentorship, and community that help women find their purpose, achieve their goals, and thrive.

This conversation goes beyond business tips; it’s about the power of lived experience. Anika shares lessons on overcoming adversity, creating networks of support, and how personal stories can ignite collective success. Her journey reminds us that resilience is contagious and that empowering women not only strengthens individuals but also enriches the wider business community.
