Africa Brooke is a consultant, coach, writer and speaker who specialises in helping many people including public figures. entrepreneurs, teams, and individuals with challenges related to self-censorship and self-sabotage. I really enjoy following Africa’s work, her straightforward (yet compassionate) no BS route to helping people examine what is going on with them, establish boundaries and define their values. There is such a genuine curiosity to Africa’s approach which I love.
In January 2021. Africa published an open letter called ‘Why I’m leaving the cult of wokeness’ which has now been read almost 5 million times. You can read the full thing here: https://ckarchive.com/b/d0ueh0h67mpd
We discuss this, why she invites people 'into the grey', why uncomfortable conversations matter and much much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's been a year since I last posted on this podcast. Sometimes it’s all a bit too much. Have you considered doing nothing about it? For years, I have written about work, wellbeing and productivity. Then I was struck down by chronic burnout and could barely get out of bed. Something had to change. So I bring you: A Year of Nothing, a moving account of why I had no choice but to switch off, go underground, and find joy and wisdom in mundane pleasures. Split over two books and four seasons, I write about dog borrowing, dopamine dressing, learning how to swim (again), choosing to be child free, tuning into nature and much more. Every purchase of this memoir includes three exclusives: - A foreword by The Godmother of creativity Julia Cameron. - Five beautiful A6 prints by artist and illustrator Georgia-Maia Oliphant, one for each season and one just for you (pictured). - An invite to a virtual event on July 4th, where Emma and TPP founder JP Watson will host a Q&A; and workshop the book’s central question: when you've worked out how to do the most, how do you learn to do nothing? ** Print books will be published on June 12th ** If you would prefer just to buy the digital edition please click here.
