LeAnne Dlamini - Woman, say yes to your purposeful self!

This episode is an ode to Women's Month. The times we are in require that women step-up. That part where we shy away from being a leader doesn’t work anymore, the excuses need to stop. Leanne and I chat about what purpose, passion, and power mean to us as women. She talks about some of the lessons she has learned around this in relation to failure, mistakes, and rising up in her power. For example, many women have a lot of fear around money, questioning – “am I worthy of it?” – I ask LeAnne questions such as, does having lots of money necessarily equal success and happiness? Is a successful woman happy? How does money correlate to purpose? Find out the answers to these questions and more. Also, get girly giggly with us at the end as we do a rapid-fire session! Incredible African voices LeAnne believes you should be listening to are @kimjansen777 and @love_thabi I encourage you to follow them on IG.
