    Season Finale: Sowing Seeds into the New Year

    Send us a text WOOO, WE MADE IT!  In this SEASON FINALE, we're getting all the feels as we reflect on an incredible journey of creating this podcast!  We're taking a moment to look back on what it was like putting this podcast together and sharing of our fears and surprises. As we wrap up this year, we're getting intentional about what we want to sow going into 2026.  What seeds will we plant? What visions will we bring to life? We're talking about daring to speak, finding our voice, and owning it!  It's time to focus on the trifecta of awesomeness: body, health, and wealth. But it's not just about adding more – it's about shedding what no longer serves us. We're letting go of playing small, worry, and anxiety.  We're making space for growth, joy, and EPICNESS! Before we sign off, we want to shout out some amazing podcasts episodes that have inspired us and are mentioned in this episode: "We Can Do Hard Things: Becoming Full of Yourself | Austin Channing Brown" and "Aspire with Emma Grede: Creating Success Word by Word with Tracee Ellis Ross" (check 'em out, folks!) As we head into the festive season, we want to wish YOU a holiday season filled with love, laughter, and all the things that bring you joy!  See you in the new year, in the new season!

    Rooted in Change

    Send us a text In this episode, we speak with Dr. Paddy Pampallis, founder of The Coaching Centre (TCC), about the ways change shows up in our lives—sometimes as an inflection point, sometimes as disturbance, and often as an invitation to rethink what we believe about ourselves and the world. Dr. Pampallis shares practical tools for soothing ourselves through uncertainty, reframing success as we age, and cultivating courage in moments that stretch us. Together, we explore what a “good enough” day looks like, how to midwife change for others, and how to ask—gently and honestly—what a good life might mean for each of us. A reminder that we don’t have to carry change perfectly, and that it’s possible to meet it with more softness, self-trust, and room to breathe.

    It's all one work

    Send us a text In this conversation, we sit down with theatre maker, performer, and writer Lindiwe Matshikiza, a South African artist now living in Marseille with her family. We talk about the beauty and ache of making a home in foreign soil, and the creative community she still carries with her. Lindiwe reflects on the space she’s reclaiming for herself after becoming a mother, the courage it takes to have difficult conversations, and the way life, creativity, and parenting are never separate threads but one continuous, evolving work. This episode is a gentle, thoughtful exploration of belonging, identity, and the artistry of everyday living.

    The Best Next Step

    Send us a text In this reflective conversation, we look back at the insights our guests have shared and explore what it means to move through change with intention. We talk about courage when it wobbles, the freedom of admitting “I don’t know,” and how breaking big ideas into smaller, human-sized pieces can make it easier to take the best next step forward. We also meet Ndoni’s inner drill sergeant — the one who pushes too hard, too fast, and ensures no one has a good time when he’s in charge — and we answer one of the internet's favourite friend quizzes. An open, honest episode for anyone trying to find their next, best step.

    Teachable Moments

    Send us a text In this episode, we talk with Marilyn Zakhour, CEO and founder of Cosmic Centaurs, an organisational development consultancy rethinking how leaders and teams grow through transformation. Marilyn shares how her life has been shaped by change — from the fearless “warrior princess” she imagined as a child, to a leader who has learned the quiet strength of saying no. We explore how curiosity, not just courage, has guided her choices, why rituals matter when life feels uncertain, and what fuels her inextinguishable vigour. It’s a conversation about leading with heart, staying grounded in transition, and trusting the small practices that keep us connected to ourselves — no matter how much the world around us shifts. Keep a notebook and pen close by — this one’s full of insights and reflections you’ll want to return to.

    Nurture your courage

    Send us a text When the world shut down, poet and performer Staceyann Chin found herself returning home to Jamaica with her daughter — a move filled with both uncertainty and unexpected grace. In this episode of Seasons (of Change), we talk about what it means to go back to your roots, the fears that come with starting over, and the gifts that only courage can reveal. Staceyann shares how motherhood, art, and place continue to shape her sense of freedom — and reminds us that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but what happens when we nurture it anyway.
