My guest today is Dr. Mwangi-Powell. She's the CEO of Girls Not Brides, a global initiative dedicated to ending child marriage worldwide.

In this conversation, Dr. Mwangi-Powell says that we're at our best when we're ourselves, unscripted and genuine. Embracing authenticity isn't always easy, especially for professional women navigating their careers.

The fear of stepping into our true selves can hold us back, fostering moments of self-doubt and persistent imposter syndrome. But here's the truth: self-doubt is universal.

Even when she found herself in spaces she felt beyond her reach, questioning if she belonged, she learned that authenticity and self-awareness are our greatest allies.

Understanding our intrinsic values and realizing that those moments are fleeting is key. Because believe it or not, everyone in that room might be battling those same feelings, no matter how imposing.

In today’s episode I want to talk about what to do when your business model doesn't seem to be working for you. Maybe you’re in a 9-5 and you have a side business that you are really passionate about and you're just not getting any traction because you only have a limited number of hours to do one-on-one work. Or maybe you’re a full-time entrepreneur. You have a one-on-one coaching or consulting business but you're not making the kind of money you need to make. My guest shares insights on how to get your foot in the door in the B2B space so you can start planting the seed to decision makers to work with you. We also talk about mindset shifts, goal planning.

You were made for greatness.

When you feel that still small voice inside of you telling you that there is more to life than what you are going for right now, trust it.

That is what my guest on the podcast today did. She says that she knew that voice was God telling her that she was not destined for mediocrity. She was younger then, and had watched people older than her, subscribing to the status quo, mediocrity and living a life that was average.

Sarah knew that she wanted to inspire others to be who they were created to be but did not know how.

With her knees knocking and teeth chattering, Sarah took the leap, contacted the people on her phone list and invited them to a workshop and her coaching and corporate training career was born.

Fast forward to now and you'll see the amazing business that she has transforming not only leaders in the C-Suite but also the youth in Africa and beyond.

In this podcast Sarah and I talk about:_

• The journey that led her to being one of the sought after coaches and trainers in Kenya.

• How to recognize greatness within you.

• Why you need to take action when you hear that still small voice

• The work she's doing empowering the youth in Africa.

• Things get better when you get better.

...and so much more 

You are here for a purpose. You have a mission in life. And when that inner voice speaks to you, that nudge, it needs to be shared with the world. If we're honest, when we are in integrity, and we don't hold back, our message can move somebody else forward, and help them get to that place that they desperately desire and want. And that’s exactly what my guest today is doing. Voted one of the Top 50 Most Influential Youth to Watch in 2022, Itumeleng Sekhu's purpose is to help others find hope and healing. This incredible woman is a Burn Conqueror who is here to prove to you that despite adversities, everyone can live their full potential and that your dreams need to be put into action, not stifled by fear. Here's a glance at this episode:

• The life-altering experience that Itumeleng faced at 11 months of age and how she turned it for her good.
• How you can identify your true beauty and reach your full potential despite societal pressures.
• How spirituality brought Itumeleng happiness and a sense of peace after three suicide attempts.
• How through spirituality, we can tap into a peace that surpasses all understanding, even during the lowest moments of our lives.
• Why seeking guidance from our Creator is the ultimate way to discover our purpose.
• The simple way to look up in the Bible is how to deal with anything you are going through. And so much more.
