    Unpacking Scarcity, Insecurity and Sisterhood in the Workplace with Khethiwe Nkuna

    In this episode, I’m joined by Khethiwe Nkuna, entrepreneur, executive leader and author of Tear Her Down: Unpacking Scarcity, Insecurity and Sisterhood in the Workplace. This conversation is a deep dive into the often unspoken dynamics between women at work where competition, comparison, and scarcity mindsets can quietly erode not just relationships, but also mental and emotional well-being. Khethiwe sheds light on how insecurity plays out in professional spaces, why we sometimes see women being pitted against each other, and how these patterns can undermine both individual growth and collective progress. But more importantly, she shares powerful insights on what it looks like to rebuild sisterhood: shifting from rivalry to collaboration, from guardedness to vulnerability, and from scarcity to abundance. We also explore the role of leadership in creating workplaces where women can thrive, support each other, and reframe “success” as something we rise into together. This episode is a call to courage, compassion, and collective wellness. Tune in to be inspired, challenged, and reminded that true wellness in the workplace begins with how we show up for ourselves and for each other. #WellnessInTheWorkplace #TearHerDown #WomenAtWork #Leadership #Sisterhood #WorkplaceWellness
