Episode 47: Embrace your fierceness

in , , ,

In this episode we have not one, but three fierce queens, Fabia, Zanele and Mai who share how they have embraced their ‘onlyness’ and thrived in the different spaces they have occupied. We talk about mentorship, sponsorship, is 30 the new 40 and how we as women can do more to raise and lift other women up.

Key takeaways from this episode:

  • Make someone’s voice heard more when you are in the room or at a table they don’t have visibility to yet

  • When you identify your strengths and something you are good at, do not shy away from it

  • Everybody is driving impact in their own way, own time and we shouldn’t fall prey to the comparison game

  • There is value in achieving great things, but pacing yourself and truly having the time to reflect and understand your journey is important
