Playing the Big, Beautiful Long Game with Debbie Zita

In this episode of Playing the Big, Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita welcomes Award winning author and women’s leadership expert, PhD Researcher in women’s spirituality, Megan Dalla-Camina. Together they dive deep into the intersection of spirituality, feminine wisdom, and entrepreneurship. 

This episode invites you to reflect on what it truly means to live a heart-led life and reminds you that when you stay true to your vision and trust your inner wisdom, you already have everything you need to create the business—and the life—that is meant for you.

Some highlights include:

• How Megan’s spiritual awakening was shaped by illness, study, and a lifelong search for wisdom
• The importance of integrating both masculine and feminine energies to live fully and lead authentically
• Why building a business is both the hardest and most rewarding personal development journey you will ever go on

Through stories of her own journey—from corporate burnout to leading a global movement for women—Megan shares how grit and grace, heart and strategy, can coexist in business. You’ll hear candid reflections on money, purpose, gaslighting ourselves, and why entrepreneurship is not as “sexy” as Instagram makes it seem.

If you’ve been questioning whether you can follow your heart while building something sustainable, this episode is here to remind you: your purpose is valid, your wisdom is trustworthy, and your vision is yours for a reason.

In this episode of Playing the Big, Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita shares from her heart about the deep-rooted vision and mission behind The Heart Centred Way™️—and why it exists at all.

With vulnerability and truth, she recounts the personal journey that brought her here; the doubts, the healing, the love, and the decision to stop hiding and start leading with soul.

She shares why it took three years to find the courage to launch the podcast, how living as an “extra” in her own life sparked the path back to authenticity. She also shares the powerful values that underpin The Heart Centred Way™️: kindness, compassion, strength, and resilience.

Deb invites listeners into a tender remembering—that we were never meant to do this life disconnected from ourselves. Through her story, she reveals how every wound and every moment of clarity led to the creation of a space where women can reconnect, rise, and ripple love into the world. This episode is a love letter to anyone who has ever felt like they weren’t enough or didn’t belong, and a reminder that your softness, your strength, and your heart are not only needed—they’re sacred.

In this episode of Playing the Big, Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita welcomes Candy the Creator, a powerful business mentor for women who are ready to collapse timelines and create quantum success.

Together they explore…

• What "business energetics" really means (and why it changes everything)
• How to create quantum leaps by building from your future self
• Why soul-led speed beats waiting for the "perfect" moment

That’s why she now teaches women how to create a magnetic personal brand, master high-converting visibility, and step into their full, unapologetic power online — without burnout or playing small.
