I had the privilege of being a guest on Sheryl’s podcast and when I say a high bar was set, I mean it.  From the very first time I met her I knew this was a woman of substance, style and grit.  A woman who knows who she is, what she wants, and has zero hesitation in allowing herself to have it.

So yes, you are in for a treat today as we delve into what it takes to be the active director of the film of your life.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around entrepreneurship, family and personal responsibility.

Some of what we discussed:

► Time for reflection

► Confidence

► Mindset VS Embodiment

► Escapism

► The value of a supportive family

I would love to hear about your stance on escapism and if you have given yourself permission to have those down-times, unapologetically.  Let me know in the comments.

What's living inside your head

that's no longer welcome?

What's the stories

you're whispering to yourself on repeat

stating it's okay not to perform at your absolute peak

that it's okay not to create the astounding

that says it's okay to lie to yourself

just a little

because nobody will ever know

as if

this doesn't matter.

Honey,

it's time to evacuate those squatters

inhibiting your greatness

understanding

they're YOUR creations

and ultimately

YOURS to destroy.

As we shift from the overtly masculine

into our powerful feminine

it's more critical than ever before

to become unavailable

for mediocre creations

understanding

the greatest creation of all

is ourselves.

You are the Creator

and the Creation

And the more intentional you become

in the creation of you

the more attention you pay to the smallest details

for your ultimate greatness

lies in the details

unseen by the rest of the world

yet felt by the Source of All That Is

which flows to you

and through you

based on your Choices

every minute

of every day.

Now more than ever

it's time to take full responsibility for yourself

to take full control of your mental chatter

to take full ownership of your choices.

Now more than ever

it's time to practice

the feminine art of Self-Leadership.

This is how we live our legacies: unleashed, unlimited, unapologetic.

You are loved in your allness,

Elle xo

You know the saying “What you see is what you get?” - hmmmm, I’m not so sure this applies to Anke.  That’s because there’s so much more to Anke than what you might see at first glance, or second, or more.  Instead, Anke has the depth and complexity of a masterfully blended brandy of old.

What I love about her is her intriguing ease of masculine analytical thinking with the creative feminine flair.  This is brought together expertly in her business, but also in her everyday conversations.  She’s one of the incredible members of the Unapologetic Woman’s Friendworking Soiree and I always look forward to her insights, her thought-provoking questions, and deliberate creative input.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around failure and more importantly, our thoughts around it.

Some of what we discussed:

► The sweet mold of a good girl

► Intergenerational trauma

► Confident VS Unapologetic

► What do you think is at stake

► The assumptions of plan

I would love to hear about your experience of failure and if you have reframed it from the socially constructed element causing fear, to a freeing construct of growth.  Let me know in the comments.

From our very first conversation I knew a couple of things about Missy - I knew this woman had titanium ovaries, an unapologetic air of wisdom and a depth of caring that is sure to inspire and transform those who have the privilege to meet her.  Every time I have the privilege of chatting with her, I am further inspired by her.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around belonging and not belonging.

Some of what we discussed:

► Labels

► The sense of not belonging

► The journey

► Business rebirth

► The “And” life

I would love to hear about your experience from a sense of belonging and how you create a welcoming space for others.  Let me know in the comments.

Thus far, my guests have been a few decades into life where rich wisdom has been harvested throughout incredible journeys.  Yet after hearing her story, I knew it was time to give voice to the exceptional wisdom of a younger generation.  A generation who are making difficult choices at an early age thereby allowing for a return to Self at a much younger age than I did.

Aliénor is a woman who took the experience of heart-break, to open her heart, reassess her life choices, and shift into the driver’s seat of Self.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around becoming untamed by being curious about ourselves.

Some of what we discussed:

► The ease of desire

► Books as tools for introspection

► Wanting to be fluid

► The liberation gained from feeling deeply

► Understanding that we can’t escape ourselves

I would love to hear about your experience in becoming untamed.  Let me know in the comments.

I think the responsibility that goes with hosting this show really hit me as I listened to the incredibly vulnerable story shared with compassion, wisdom and grace by Jac. 

This is a woman who lived through my secret worst fear, and turned it into a beautiful approach to life.  I will say that this episode can be hugely triggering for mothers, so please listen with absolute care for yourself. 

I think it’s really easy to get stuck on her social achievements.  After all, her career spans multiple industries, including at companies such as LearnVest, DailyCandy, The New York Times and Armani Exchange, as well as numerous consulting clients. As a highly sought-after thought leader, she has spoken at ShopTalk, Advertising Week, The New York Travel Festival, and Northside Innovation events, appeared on Fox Business News, and has been featured in publications including Inc, Forbes, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur. 

Yet, when she sits down in front of you, woman to woman, and allows herself to be seen, to be heard, to be felt, you understand the uselessness of social pedestals when truly what women such as Jac desire more than anything, is happiness for themselves and others.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around creating a life that is meaningful to us.

Some of what we discussed:

► Discovering the power of what is important to me

► When failing to have a child is your first real ‘failure’ in life

► Gaining fearlessness

► The thrill and fear of being pregnant during lockdown

► When the worst has happened

I would love to hear your approach to living a meaningful life.  Let me know in the comments.

Once you’ve listened to this interview, I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Maria Belanic is a woman of depth and curious contradiction.  On the one hand she is so light-hearted, deliciously quirky and funny, and on the other she talks about the most profound grief in losing her child.  In her beautifully unique way she has found this life-altering experience to be her path to self-love.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around the emotion of grief and how it impacts our lives, our relationships, and our relationship with Self.

Some of what we discussed:

► Depth

► Following joy from within

► The loss of a child

► How do we show love to ourselves

► Acknowledging your pain points

I would love to hear your experience of grief in whatever form or area.  This is after all one of the profound emotions we get to experience through this life experience.  Let me know in the comments.

I remember our very first meeting in the offices of Raizcorp, a business incubator in South Africa. Mots will tell you the story of how she walked out of that very encounter with the words “You are a goddess, celebrate it and bring it out” edged on her mind. This is what I saw within her, and today I feel the embodiment of her powerful self in every way.

Mots shares her story in an unfiltered voice of confidence. Her story of becoming a traditional African healer, a path she held in severe judgement and wanted nothing to do with. Her story of how she came back to herself.

In this episode, we delve into a deep conversation around what it takes to show up in our fullness.

Some of what we discussed:

► Flow

► Losing R100 000 in an hour of lockdown

► Initiation for acceptance of our gifts

► The evolution of business

► When there is no empirical evidence

I would love to hear your experience of personal initiation in whatever form that took for you. Let me know in the comments.
