There’s a moment—quiet but undeniable—when a woman realises she’s outgrown the old models of success.

The constant doing. The burnout masked as achievement. The power that doesn’t quite feel like hers.

In this episode, Leonora sits down with cultural force and founder of The Stack World, Sharmadean Reid, to explore what happens when we decide to lead from a different centre—one rooted in softness, sovereignty, and deep, collective change.

From beauty to tech, Sharmadean has built, burned out, and rebuilt—each time more attuned to what truly serves. This isn’t a story about hustle. It’s about listening. About shifting. About choosing wholeness over performance.

Together, Sharmadean and Leonora explore:

• What feminine ambition really looks like

• The toll of staying in rooms where you're not fully seen

• Why building with women—not just for them—is the future

• How community, economics, and identity are intertwined

• And what it means to reclaim softness as a strategy—not a sacrifice
  

This is an invitation to step off the linear path. To unhook from proving. To start building what doesn’t yet exist, but always should have.

“It’s not about balance. It’s about resonance. And we get there by trusting ourselves.”

If you’ve been hearing the whisper to do it differently—this episode will meet you there.
