Lisa Welsh is a Sexual & Pleasure Educator, Copywriter & Connector. Her playful approach to sexuality helps people to relax their guard, ditch shame and get curious about things that usually make them blush.  

Lisa has always been interested in the sexual health space, but it really kicked off when she underwent the Dark Goddess ritual with herself where she experienced, what I call, a 'sexual awakening'. She explains this journey in the episode and explains how it also helped her in a sense of 'sexual healing', and the rest is history.  

Lisa offers a FREE Masterclass: Unlock Your Pleasure! as well as a Better in Bed Academy for those looking to unlock their inner sexual power, empower their sexuality and start building their confidence.  

Put on the FURNACE because this tea is PIPING HOT ;) if you get what I mean.

Priyanka is Co-Founder and Director of Sinevis, a global professional services organisation providing cybersecurity implementation, consulting, and managed services. She is also one of the co-founders for Women in Cyber Security Middle East (WiCSME). 👩🏽‍💻



With over 16 years of experience in cybersecurity technology and risk management across multiple industries and 20+ countries, she is a big advocate of making cybersecurity and overall risk management part of the business strategy and process and not as a standalone activity expecting business stakeholders to reach out to security teams as a tick box exercise for change approval or when something goes wrong.

She holds a number of industry standard certifications and is a mentor to a few young professional girls and men in India and Middle East. 🦄



Priyanka joined me to spill the tea on her experience as a woman in the field of Cyber Security, how to break into the industry, and what companies can do to encourage more women to join their teams! ✨

Heide Young is currently based in the UAE as Head of Cyber Security Strategy, creating innovative essential cyber security strategies and practices required for teams to securely function, without interfering in daily business processes. Heide is also a co-founder of Women in Cyber Security Middle East (WiCSME), established in March 2018 by nine women. Previously based in Australia, she was part of the leadership team for Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN) while also being a FITT (Females in IT&T) Mentor. 💪



Outside of cyber security, one of her other passions is learning foreign languages and encouraging others to learn. This led her to write the first Arabic children’s book written in Arabic, English, and phonetic Arabic. Meaning that even if you cannot read the Arabic traditional words, you can still read the phonetic words and learn how to speak Arabic. 💙



We discuss Heide’s career path evolved from chasing her diverse passions and not being afraid of change, and how her own journey into the cyber security field arose in her +14yrs experience spanning across 3 continents within varying fields, organically transpiring to where she is today. 🌻
