In this episode, I’m joined by Cayleen Muller, an inspiring entrepreneur who has built far more than a successful hair business. Together we explore the courage it takes to start small, the power of consistency, building a loyal community, using social media authentically, and why genuine relationships are still the best business strategy.

We talk about entrepreneurship, resilience, customer service, reputation, personal branding, faith, community, and the lessons that come from building something slowly and intentionally.

What are you building? Tell us in the comments.

What if being fit has as much to do with identity as it does with exercise?

In this episode, I get to speak with a woman who has embraced her fitness journey through Hyrox competitions while also expressing herself through fashion, creativity and her much-loved “fit of the day” posts.

Ayanda Hlophe shares about discipline versus motivation, confidence, motherhood, self-care, personal style and the surprising ways movement can transform not only our bodies but our mind and mental health.

Share in the comments the things you’re fitting in as you discover and create joy in your life…or maybe you haven’t been able to fit it in…is this the inspiration you need?

Happy listening!

Don’t be surprised if you see Paola here again and again. I had such a great time chatting to Paolo Palermo, a language teacher and enthusiast. We talked about the benefits of learning additional languages, some of the challenges, she shares some lovely stories from her time spent in other countries and cultures and also encourages us to learn and expand. It’s more than language, it’s empathy and understanding.

As usual I invite your thoughts, comments and experiences. I’d love to know about your stories with other languages or if you’re learning, what keeps you going?

Until next time,

Later alligator.

“Founder” sounds exciting until you’re the one carrying the pressure, the responsibility, the uncertainty… and still trying to keep showing up.

In this episode of F-Words, we’re talking to Liz Pretorius of The Leap about founders.The dreamers. The builders. The people trying to create something meaningful while navigating fear, expectations, exhaustion, growth, identity and purpose.

But this conversation isn’t only for business owners. Because whether you’re building a company, rebuilding your confidence, starting over, raising a family, creating art, leading a team or simply trying to become more of who you were meant to be… there’s something here for you too.

I’d love to hear your thoughts after listening.

What resonated with you?What challenged you?What has your own “founding” journey looked like; in business or in life?

F is for Farewell

I speak to my dear friend, Roxanne Leigh Moe, a South African who has lived in the US from a young age. We talk about travel and learning, travelling solo and with a family, learning to accept and love and embrace what's different.

F is for Fumble is the first episode in a conversational podcast exploring the many F-words that shape our lives: starting with the one we try hardest to avoid.

In this episode, we talk about fumbling: starting before you feel ready, doing the thing you’re afraid of without waiting for perfection, and choosing movement over mastery. If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you:
