Unspeakable Leadership

I Am Not the Problem, Neither Are You.

In this season-closing reflection, Rohene Bouajram invites us to release one of the most persistent lies many of us carry: that who we are is something to fix. Through stories, letters, and the wisdom gathered from this season’s guests, she explores the living practices of radical self-acceptance and radical self-trust as pathways back to ourselves. We hear what it truly means to stop rehearsing smaller versions of who we are and start choosing the line to cross next, thought by thought, memory by memory, step by step. Rohene shares pieces of her own journey, including the grief of staying too long, the courage to leave, and the sacred act of devoting herself to truth, joy, and alignment. This finale reminds us that desires are data, our bodies are an archive of wisdom, and our individual becoming is right on time.

Decolonizing Mental Health By Returning to Your Body

The answers you’ve been searching for have been living in your body all along. In this conversation with Kay Thellot, an ethnotherapist and founder of Prensip Minokan, we explore what it means to decolonize mental health and its role in our leadership journey. Remembering that our healing isn’t something we have to earn, it’s something we return to. Kay shares with Rohene Bouajram how reconnecting with ancestral practices, movement, and the quiet wisdom of the body helps us reclaim the parts of ourselves that colonial systems taught us to silence. We talk about how fear can look like excitement, what it means to cross the line back to your true self, and why the body is both archive and compass for women of colour reclaiming their power in leadership roles.   Connect with Kay: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kay-thellot-0300aa251](http://linkedin.com/in/kay-thellot-0300aa251) [http://linkedin.com/in/kay-thellot-0300aa251%5D(http:/linkedin.com/in/kay-thellot-0300aa251)] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prensip.minokan/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/prensip.minokan/?hl=en] Website: https://www.prensipminokan.com/ [https://www.prensipminokan.com/]   Connect with Rohene: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/] Website www.rohenebouajram.com [http://www.rohenebouajram.com]   Access resources to redefine your leadership: https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources [https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources]   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OyBTHVaCa2o?si=FclnHElQovw5YCUG [https://youtu.be/OyBTHVaCa2o?si=FclnHElQovw5YCUG]

Dare to be Ambitious: Redefine, Hold Joy, and Build Self-Trust

Ambition, radical self-trust, and intentional joy. This conversation between Rohene Bouajram and Bianca B. King explores what it means for women of colour to redefine ambition on our own terms.  Leaving home at 13, later walking away from a successful corporate real estate career, and rebuilding from her “$38 moment” are all experiences that Bianca points back to as a series of catalysts to cross her line into the next version of herself. That experience fueled her mission to help women pursue success with joy, rather than burnout. Rohene and Bianca unpack the difference between ambition and perfectionism, and how women can reframe ambition as a source of self-liberation rather than pressure.  This episode reminds us that success and joy can coexist, and radical self-trust is the bridge between ambition and peace.   Connect with Bianca: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancahenryking/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancahenryking/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pdambitious/ [https://www.instagram.com/pdambitious/] Website: https://www.biancabking.com/ [https://www.biancabking.com/]    Connect with Rohene: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/] Website www.rohenebouajram.com [http://www.rohenebouajram.com]   Access resources to redefine your leadership: https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources [https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources]   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NQwe3WUayMY?si=x949JvLHmJFYQKp5 [https://youtu.be/NQwe3WUayMY?si=x949JvLHmJFYQKp5]

How Neurodivergent Women Lead Through Radical Acceptance

In this episode, masking, ADHD, neurodivergent identity, and radical acceptance take center stage as Ammara Wood shares her story of unlearning and rediscovery. She opens up about the years spent hiding her true self to survive in systems that were never built for her, and the liberation that came from choosing authenticity over approval. Through her lens as a late-diagnosed Black woman with ADHD, Ammara explores how neurodivergent women can reclaim their power by embracing self-awareness and self-compassion. Rohene Bouajram and Ammara Wood unpack what it means to “cross the line” from silence to radical self-acceptance and how that act becomes a form of leadership. There is an emotional toll of masking, courage required to stop, and organizational shifts needed to create inclusive workplaces. This episode is a raw, healing dialogue about identity, resilience, and the freedom that follows when we stop performing and start leading from who we truly are.   Connect with Ammara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ammara-wood/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ammara-wood/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blissfully_nd [https://www.instagram.com/blissfully_nd] Website: https://paperbell.me/blissfullynd [https://paperbell.me/blissfullynd]  Connect with Rohene: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/] Website www.rohenebouajram.com [http://www.rohenebouajram.com]   Access resources to redefine your leadership: https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources [https://www.rohenebouajram.com/resources] Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRktD6YQ3cs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRktD6YQ3cs]
