  • Breaking Barriers and Building Blox with Nazia Anwar

    Imagine putting your blood, sweat, and tears into your start-up and then having a contractor try to take ownership of your App, or being taken to a champagne bar to be told someone wants to buy your product and if you say no, they will take the idea anyway and steal your market audience.

    This is only a few of the challenges Nazia Anwar has faced,

    founder of Social Blox, a platform for small non-profits and community groups to help them connect, grow, and generate revenue.

    Join Talullah for this incredible conversation with Nazia as they peak behind the curtain of what it is like to be a female founder, discuss how Social Blox first began, and the highs and lows along the way.

    As an absolutely relentless founder, oozing passion, and

    pushing down any barrier standing in her way, while juggling being a single mum and experiencing countless experiences of sexism, Talullah wanted to bring you this conversation to share in Nazia's wisdom and courage.


    Topics covered include:

    • Accidentally starting a business to solve a problem
    • Trusting your gut when something feels wrong
    • Dealing with investors who don’t align with your
      • vision
    • Leadership styles and why we need diversity in
      • the C-Suite
    • How to get out of a slump and back to yourself
    • Managing being a single mum as a founder
    • Publishing your first book

    • Fighting the Sunday Scaries with Eliza Lawrence

      Work. We all do it. Most of us will be working for at least 50 years. So why do so many of us stay in a role that gives us the Sunday Scaries, fearing the week ahead? Why are so many of us petrified to stray from the career path we chose at the age of 18, when we have time for 10 or more different careers?

      Join Talullah in this open conversation with the amazingly talented and multidimensional Eliza Lawrence. Someone who champions the importance of decreasing the gap between work and life, vowing never to have the Sunday scaries.


      In this episode they discuss:

      • Eliza's array of experiences as an actress, love and coach, writer and publisher, creative director, and now teacher
      • The importance of using your 20s to experiment
      • Developing your 'intangible assets' before worrying about the promotions and house buying
      • The fine line between being a therapist and a friend
      • How being a coach began to affect Eliza on a personal level
      • Fearlessness in the face of taboo topics and vulnerability
      • Re-branding after a breakup
      • Reclaiming the feminine ego


        • Press play and enjoy this therapeutic conversation that feels like you are getting advice from your wiser, big sis.
