Listen here to find out more.

Why do we need to live our best lives and not just better lives?

The word best can be a challenge, that can sometimes force us to no longer enjoy our lives but focuses on being perfect.

What about if we decide to make increasingly better decisions? Leanne explores this concept as well as her living her own better choices era.

This means taking each day as it comes and taking control of all the small decisions rather than thinking there has to be a life overhaul.

There is a very strong narrative around Gen Z, their expectations of society, work and their careers.

What is often missed is how the most critical time of their lives was heavily impacted by the pandemic and what that means for them today.

Join Leanne and Iyanu as they discuss a counternarrative and how this will inform and change the dynamics of employers and Gen Z.

Join Leanne and Nomathemba Malinga, as they talk about finding your communication style.

Whether personally or professionally, how we communicate determines how people perceive us, but also communication increases how we can impact the lives of others. How did we make the other person feel? Did we create the emotions we wanted to?

Nomathemba outlines some tips to self-mastery which helps us to develop the communication style we want.

Getting to your best self is not just about weight loss, there is so much more involved. It means changing how you see your body and breaking bad habits.

Join Leanne as she sits with Brit Tafoya who walks her through how we can develop better habits, how we can make it part of our lives and ultimately sharing her journey about she unlocked these keys through her personal experience.

Join Leanne as she sits down with Rhiane Fatinikun as they discuss overcoming obstacles and finding to courage to spend time outdoors and doing it with a community.

Rhiane is one of the pioneers in a movement that has now started to gain momentum globally of creating space for Black women to enjoy the outdoors together. Connecting with the outdoors is part of our heritage and something that we should focus on getting back.

And what better way to do it, than in the company of other Black women.

Join Leanne and Eleanor Mayrhofer as they discuss, how to find the balance between our work identity and corporate identity and the importance of maintaining a strong digital footprint.

Stringent compliance rules often stop Black women from being able to express themselves outside of the workplace, but this often hinders progress when looking for another job or trying to show multi-dimensionality beyond CVs.

This is why a digital footprint becomes even more important. So that we can be found and seen, but also showcase how multi-faceted and talented we are. Organisations often leave little room for a side hustle.

Eleanor gives tips on how this can be created and still benefit both Black women and their organisations.

Join Leanne as she sits down with Ashlee Braxton to discuss the role of sisterhood and building that connection with others and the importance of building these relationships.

As Black women living abroad it can sometimes feel like you don’t need a closer connection, but the silver lining of the pandemic has been building this connection, but it’s also been about learning from others and they skills they bring.

Ashlee is a one of a kind multi-hyphenate who brings so much authenticity and love to everything that she does, especially when she’s organising events. Events are so much more than the event itself but an way to create memories which in turn create bonds.
