30 years to Everest – Decisions, setbacks, and staying power | Dr Jeannette McGill

In this inspiring and deeply personal talk, Dr Jeannette McGill shares the 30-year journey behind her summit of Mount Everest — a dream that began as a quiet “one-day” goal and evolved into a test of resilience, commitment, and courage. From pioneering roles in the mining and technology sectors to multiple attempts on the world’s highest peak, she reflects on setbacks, turning back when it mattered most, and the discipline of consistent preparation. More than a story about climbing Everest, this is a powerful reminder that extraordinary achievements are built through daily commitment, calculated risk, and the willingness to begin — even when success isn’t guaranteed.

We Inherit the Fire | Kagiso Lesego Molope [Read by Jane Sopeng]

Any story worth telling must begin with the women. There is that photograph, of course. My mother: standing in front of a soldier, closer than anyone else would dare . . . A gorgeously rendered, unflinching portrait of the fractured relationship between a mother and her daughter—set against the tumultuous end of apartheid in South Africa. In late-1980s South Africa, teenager Kelelo is forced to leave her mountain school for a newly desegregated school in town, where her identity as the daughter of celebrated freedom fighter Kewame “Dolly” Malaka makes her an instant curiosity. While her classmates see her as a symbol of progress, at home she struggles with a mother who is emotionally unreachable, still haunted by the violence and deprivation she endured as a political prisoner under apartheid. Kewame, now living in material comfort, hides a growing inner collapse as memories of prison life and the women who sustained her resurface, stirred by her grandmother’s illness and the pressure of maintaining a façade of perfection. As mother and daughter navigate a shifting political landscape, We Inherit the Fire interlaces their voices to reveal the unspoken wounds, buried histories, and complex inheritance of resilience, pain, and responsibility that bind and divide generations of Black South African women.

S03 #183 IN THE ROOM with Health Diplomat to SA Presidency | Lwazi Manzi

If you consider yourself a change agent, you are a politician. What happens when women step into the room where power, policy, and pressure collide? In this exclusive IN THE ROOM interview, Conscious LeadHERS Founder Carmen Murray sits down with Dr. Lwazi Manzi, Health Diplomat to the Presidency of South Africa, for a rare, unfiltered conversation on politics, diplomacy, power, and purpose. From behind-the-scenes moments during COVID-19 and global vaccine negotiations, to the future of AI, African innovation, and political literacy, this episode challenges everything we think we know about leadership. It asks the uncomfortable questions: Are you already a politician if you call yourself a change agent? What does diplomacy really require? And who truly holds political power? Raw, intelligent, and deeply human, this conversation reframes politics not as something to avoid, but as a skill women must master if they want to shape the future. website · podcast studio · Join our community for free · Join our YouTube channel for more

Raising Resiliance | Ilanit Gerson

If your house feels like a war zone every morning, your teen controls the Wi-Fi password, and “I’m sick” means another day of vomiting before a test, this fireside chat is your lifeline. Educational psychologist, Elenet Gerson, unpacked, for a room full of exhausted parents and teachers, why anxiety has hijacked our kids since COVID, how it turns bedtime into a hostage negotiation, and, most importantly, delivering the exact scripts, rules, and breathing tricks that actually shrink the panic hole instead of feeding it. No fluff, no blame, just tools that work even when your 15-year-old swears they’re “fine” while clutching their stomach. Listen before the next meltdown costs you another night’s sleep.
