What if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader today is become still?

Leonora sits with Sensei Zen Takai, known as the Zen Samurai, heir to a samurai lineage sixteen generations deep, who has trained leaders from Google, Oxford and the Young Presidents’ Organization. As a teenager he ran from his strict samurai upbringing into Tokyo’s punk rock scene. One book from his father brought him home.

Together they explore why so many women leaders still feel they must perform masculine energy to be taken seriously, what changes when you lead from your centre (the tanden, or as we call it at Now Be You, the womb) instead of your head, and the small samurai practices you can carry through a full day: the pinky finger, the cup of still water, the water moon.

And a story you may not expect. Long before the samurai, Sensei says, it was women shamans who guided society.

A few moments in this episode are live demonstrations, so watch, don’t just listen.

Stay yourself.

What if the sentence “I don’t have enough time” is the one thing keeping you from yourself?

In this episode, Leonora sits with Natalie Lefevre, known to over a million people as Island Natalie. Entrepreneur, media founder and health educator, Natalie built her work out of a health crisis that began with six weeks in a hospital in the Seychelles and a body the tests couldn’t explain.

But this is not a conversation about protocols. It is about the woman underneath. Natalie shares who she was before (insecure, but always with a spark), how she tells intuition from fear when she has to decide, and the last words of her father, her best friend: “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”

Together they explore why choosing yourself is not selfish, why emotions need somewhere to go, and why the biggest hack of all might be to stop worrying.

Girl, you’ve got time.

Most women who lead have learned to run on control long after their body asked them to stop.

In this episode, Leonora sits down with Gary Malkin, a multiple Emmy Award winning composer who found his way to music before he had the words for what he was looking for, and has spent thirty years since teaching people how to come home to themselves through sound.

Gary and Leonora talk about the difference between leading from pressure and leading from presence, why so many successful women have quietly absorbed a model of leadership that was never built for them, and what happens in the body the moment music invites you to stop performing and simply feel. Gary plays live during the conversation, and it changes the room. If you have ever wondered whether slowing down is a luxury you cannot afford, this episode makes the gentle case that it might be the one thing you cannot afford to skip.

If this conversation resonates maybe you are ready for the next step in leadership?
