Cara and I haven't seen each other in a while and dive right into the conversation about life in South Africa and why she choose to study music therapy at the University of Pretoria. Our chat about music therapy looks at how the practice is different in Africa vs the US or Canada and how cultural histories and experiences influence different uses of music.

About the Host

Stephanie Lear is a thoughtful guide for women who are ready to create meaningful change — without losing their peace.

With a professional background in leadership, program development, and community-building, she has spent years designing spaces that bring people together with intention. But her most meaningful work has been the quiet, personal evolution that happens behind the scenes — the mindset shifts, perspective changes, and spiritual grounding that shape a life from the inside out.

Known among friends and colleagues as the one who gives the pep talk that actually lands, Stephanie has a gift for helping women zoom out, reconnect to what matters, and move forward with calm confidence. She shares what she’s learning in real time — not from a pedestal, but from lived experience.

Through More Than Lucky, she blends practical mindset tools with grounded spiritual insight to support women navigating reinvention, growth, and intentional next chapters.

Her belief is simple: peace and ambition can coexist.

And the life you want isn’t random — it’s created.

On this week's episode I am joined by Kiran Singhachaudhuri for a light hearted chat about how we are intentional about creating our own joy and what we're doing to relieve the pressure in our lives. We chat about how having fun has changed during the pandemic and the importance of supporting your local businesses.

What are you doing to create your own fun?

One of the greatest choices of my life was to start a Mary Kay business. While I'm not a consultant any longer I am loyal to the skincare routine and the friends I made. This week Sonya Ho and Shirley Yung join me for a chat about our time as Mary Kay Consultants and what we learned about running our own business. We are talking about safety to fail, the Go Give Spirit, authentic leadership and the sisterhood. 

Shirley also shares her expertise in hosting shopping parties and the top three companies you need to discover now. She also shares her insider tips to maximize your hostess benefits!

My guest this week is one of my favourite people. Adrienne Davis is the owner of Empower Me Fitness and Stephanie's long time coach in fitness and nutrition. Stephanie and Adrienne talk about the strength of community and how we all have different needs and priorities to find our happy spot with our health and goals.

In follow up to last week's episode I also have a final coaching check in on the program I wrapped up. I also bravely ask what Adrienne's perceptions were in seeing my ups and downs of recent months.

Lastly Adrienne shares the details about her experience and training as an athlete and what drives her in her own fitness and strength goals!

This is the premier episode of the More than Lucky Podcast. For years host Stephanie Lear has had a reputation as the luckiest girl in the world but in truth it is more than luck, it is a point of view.

Episode one is me sharing recent personal revelation and my intentions to mindfully let go of what I try to control and create positive change and freedom in my life. It's a quickie but it also sets you up for episode 2 with my first guest!
